Is there financial help available for cleft lip/palate facial repairs deemed as non medical-necessities?

Question:

I was born w/ a cleft lip/palate, & my reconstructive surgeries/repairs are still on-going. Unfortunately, my father is very sick, & a single parent, so we don't have the financial resources to pay for my care. I'm receiving a state-provided health insurance plan, & have gotten a blessed amount of help from this. My problem is that, understandably, they won't cover anything that isn't a medical necessity, & at best with this, my face will continue to be "less than acceptable" to the rest of "normal society". My additional facial problems include a slightly recessed chin, nonsymmetrical lips (coarsely called a unilateral "hare lip"), & abnormal lower orbital septums (meaning: I've always had bags under my eyes, which shouldn't occur in young people).
I AM thankful for God's gift of life, & I don't want to come across as superficial, but the cleft has caused alot of emotional scars. I don't expect perfection; I just want to look normal! Are there any organizations that could help me?
