Answers:
hmmm, well hopefully you'll find something, as this is very unheard of (people helping people just for goodness of a child's health) where I come from!.

I'd say go to a local hospital or, if you have a welfare system, have her appy for that!. You could at least go to the offices or call them and ask for all info, though if she's the guardian she'll have to sign most things, that is, IF it works over there like it does here in the USA!.!.!.

Other than that, get creative, start a fundraiser to raise money and more importantly, awareness of your cause!. Look online for support groups for the illness and through there I'm sure someone already lived/living the nightmare can point you in the best best best direction!.!.!.!
