Do you guys attend a church? I know my pastor helped out a pregnant teen as far as buying a used crib and car seat for her. However I bought mine at a garage sale when I was a pregnant teen. However, she should contact your local health department about the WIC program to get assistance for nutritional food for herself and the baby's formula, food, and cereal. She can also contact job and family services because they may have programs that she can benefit from especially getting medicaid insurance for the delivery and for the baby's doctor appointments. Also I'm not sure about where you're from but in my town there is a women's resource center that each month you can get a pack of diapers and then if you volunteer there you can get them more frequently
Hope that helps

Once, I was going to be a foster mother to a child that was born addicted to crack and I had nothing, literally. But I went on facebook and there is a buy sell trade group that is for locals and people were really generous in donations and selling things cheap. I ended up getting a crib that cost me like $20 I think and it came with a brand new mattress. Just reach out to others and tell them your situation and see if anyone can help even a little :)
