Hi Gary,
Next to Richard's tip above, it may we worthwhile checking the 2nd hand/ collector websites in the UK. In the Netherlands running 216 and 235 cu.in engines are regularly offered for sale by restorers/ hot rodders who replace the 6 cylinder engines in their Chevrolet vehicles by V8s.
If the engine is the only thing which is broken, it is worthwile to find a replacement engine. Or sell the truck as-is, rather than breaking it up.
Here's hoping you can get it back on the road to support your charity.
