Would you help someone out that is disabled and wears diapers but can't afford them?
Yes I would, and so should anyone. The path here leads to Social Serbices and the Department of (Health and) Human Services (DHHS or DHS depending on where in the US you are). Start by getting a case worker assigned. Explain it's an emergency (chronic failure to be able to care for oneself is in fact an emergency). Perhaps surprisingly, DHS staff are often very motivated folks, with a strong interest in helping others (I know this goes against rumor, but most of the time the rumos is wrong).

Sadly there are a fair few barriers e.g shops not accomadating (no access or aisles to narrow). Ignorants in people mainly adults, simply not understanding especially if the child have mental disabilities and may shout out at inapropiate times. Intergration is a horrid word but I have watched a little boy in my sons year (year 4) who is wheelchair bound and no-one plays with him not because of him as a person (as he is a nice boy) but simply because the other children are not aware of ways in which they can all play together, he is fine in the class though.
