most local authorities have a fund called the carers' support fund, which is not something that they publicise well, but exists to support carers in their caring role. The powers that be don't want you to use it to buy things like washing machines, but they like you to use it to buy in services such as laundry collection and delivery. (Seems counterintuitive, but I see what they're trying to achieve).
I think Internet access is vital for anyone whose ability to access the outside world is restrained by whatever circumstance, and people with disabilities and their carers certainly fall under this umbrella. So perhaps you could make enquiries to your local social services and avail of this fund on the grounds that it is necessary for you to continue your caring responsibilities.
