Not for this process of immigration stuff no.

Part of the issue of bringing immigrant family members to USA is having the means to foot the bills - i.e. flight tickets, medical bills while here and their general upkeep.

I doubt if any not-for-profit private orgs will dole out cash for flight tickets. The Catholic Relief Agency and other non profits help with legal aid in filing petitions, but not to physically write checks for tickets. Sorry.

Your daughters, at their embassy interview, will also need to submit your most recent ITR (1040) and W2 showing your current income meets the Poverty Guidelines for yourself + your household + the intending immigrants. If your income and assets don't meet the income requirement, you'll need to find a joint sponsor.
