If your son is under 25 years old you could apply to the Family Fund. Otherwise it might be an idez to ask on a forum for carers in your local area as there might be a Lions Club or Round Table type organisation who can help. Your local council might have a hardship fund, your house insurance if it was accidental damage, set up a go fund me page?
