Is there a place that provides help for a debt crisis?

I just found out my mother is in debt for some bad checks she bounced a few years back. She owes $2600 by the end of the month or she goes to jail for two years. I’ll help as much as I can but I can’t do it all. Her credit is horrible so I doubt she can get a loan, and mine isn’t that great either. Is there a place where she can get help for something like this. It’s not like she fradualantly did this. She’s really poor and was doing anything she could to get by, and just happened to have some checks bounce. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have seen churches help with similar situations. It will probably be hard to get one to go that high though, especially if they dont know you.
