Check with you local chapter of the American Cancer Society. They will know what resources are available in your area.
Best wishes

Try contacting the St. Jude Children's Hospital. They specialize in children with cancers and other diseases and they don't charge for their services. Or, since I'm sure they wouldn't want to move their daughter's treatment, try something simple like contact a few tv news stations and see if they would be willing to help raise money. You would be surprised what kind of people come out of the woodwork to help a cause like that.

Sorry, James, they all take it away, not give it back. But this might be better--
Here are some books I have read from cover to cover, that are now helping me to survive way beyond my doctors' grim predictions--
"The Cure for All Cancers"
"A Cancer Therapy"
"Oxygen Therapies"
"Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle"
"The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium"
"Killing Cancer"
"Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About"
There are many other good books about surviving this disease, and they should know about this option, even if they choose to go the traditional route with it's abysmal prognosis. Best of luck.

check to see if there is a ronald macdonald house. also, i work at a hospital, we provide family rooms for people like this. check with the hospital floor supervisor. if her parents work, then some have to continue working and send a sibling, cousin, aunt grandma etc. until their day off. to avoid bankruptcy. you might want to intervene at this time and contact some folks that would take turns with the lil girl. the parents are overwhelmed right now.

Contact The Department of Human Services in her county. They will help them with medical and other bills.

depend on where you are.
Im in the UK, if so you can contact the Macmilian Cancer trust they can provide Financial Support and also may be able to help with providing carers so the mum and dad can have a day off.
If in the US i cant help you there.
