Reasons why other potential caregivers may not be suitable
 

While some relatives or friends may offer to help with caregiving, they may not possess the same knowledge and understanding of the child's complex medical needs. This could lead to improper care or miscommunication with medical professionals, potentially risking the child’s health. 

Other relatives or friends may want to help but may not have the flexibility in their work schedules to attend to the child's medical appointments and emergencies. Additionally, their financial situations may not be stable enough to support the child's medical treatments and expenses.
