how exactly does she want assistance?

She can become an active member of TER in a few minutes.  She needs to go to the sign up page, fill in some information, create a screen name, and she is just as much a member of TER as anyone else.  She can post to the boards (though she may be moderated), and I have seen women, without any reviews, post ads to the ad boards.  I am not sure of all the requirements to post ads. It certainly takes way more than a TER connection to become a successful provider, so this is the easy part.  She will have to get a place, clients, ad money, a reputation, ect.  But, certainly TER helps.  Good luck to her.

I got her signed up, but I'm not sure how she would go about getting past "Basic Member". I wrote her a review, but it's currently in a 'Deferred' status. I've never seen that status before. But I did notice that she does have another review though. Her name is Tina Payne from Dallas
