Managing the Funds of the Disabled

Question
A lady was receiving a sponsorship for orphans, but this sponsorship was interrupted for years. Now that the orphans have grown up, the sponsorship has returned, but she says that two of them are elderly disabled individuals who have no financial resources. Is she allowed to give money to their sister to buy necessities and diapers?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the disability of the children is mental, it is not permissible to spend their money on others. If the disability is not mental, it is permissible to spend their money on others with their permission, and God knows best.
