2. Wish I had more answers ...

I know people go to websites and get donations, we did not have to do that as some family members were able to help us and even solicited contributions from other family members to help with expenses. There are times when you cannot be too proud and need to accept any donations from family that come your way.

I have seen others post links to a go fund me site here on DU and you might need to contact the administrators and ask permission. Another way might be to set up a care pages or caringbridge site, which is mainly used to keep people informed, but maybe other relatives and friends would be inclined to chip in if they know your intentions.

Again wish I more answers, life certainly changes when there is a significant illness.
