Your child can qualify if they meet or equal any of the three CF listings for children, and most states have some sort of in home supportive services program where they pay a family member to care for a child, parent, spouse... I get $225 to "care for" my husband every month. Try food stamps as well, cash assistance... You can make your Food expenses for your CFer (if they have a HUGE appetite like most do) over and above what someone their age, weight and height eats, TAX DEDUCTIBLE and a medical deduction for Food stamps when they figure your income. I had to take that last one to appeals court in WA and CA (for it to count as a medical deduction for food stamps) but I won in both states and can email you a copy of the approval so you can show your FS office. division90@hotmail.com
If you do a search for social security, or impairment listings (I believe) you will find quite a few posts about this topic, and on five or six of them I put the link to the imparment listings for children and adults. I am on vaca now so I don't have my home computer where it is saved on my favorites, and I have to get up in a few hours to go and "play" but if you look it up on this site you should be able to find the impairment listings. If not, email me at the above addy and I will get it for you when I get home.

It's a different name in every state, but in California it is called In home supportive Services. If you go to your states local Department of Health and Sevices office (where you can apply for food stamps, medicaid, cash assistance....) they should have info on the program. I found CA's by looking around online for a few days.
