@parislove12 , your question was in the wrong place and I've moved it, but I'm concerned that this is very late. Obviously it would be ideal if there is any way you could get her to a vet.. I'm in Australia but I do know that some vets will offer plans etc when it comes to their bills.
In the meantime we'll see if any of our advisors can help @StefanZ @Feralvr @catwoman707 @Red Top Rescue

I read u are sopposed to GENTLY pull on the kittens armpits (legpits for tail first/breach birth). I had a similar experience. I am a lil concerned about how long it has been stuck (because of the lack of oxygen).
How did it go?
Yes, this is the home tip as Kittycat mentions. If a kitten is stuck awhile, not so long the mom is tired out, but so long you notice it isnt well, Try to coordinate with moms pushes, and gently pull, holding in the armpits / legpits. It it doesnt helps, pull more decisevely, but begin with gently. Togther with moms pushing, that is the key.
As mom will get tired, you can try and smear somthing suitable containing glucose sugar on her gum. Glucose sugar proper is best, but if you dont have, anything else. Honey, or some liquid sugar solution, alike white caro syrup, maple syrup, almost anything. All these contain much glucose syrup.
Glucose sugar goes already in the mouth into the blood, and gives extra energy almost instantly. It doesnt need to be at first digested in the intestines.
The same trick is useful for small kittens who seems to be fading - its often essentially low blood sugar... This can be done even if the kitten isnt properly warm enough.
Ok, this is what can be done in such an emergency.
But what happened at your place, @parislove12 Its almost 24 hours since you wrote your alarming post in some other forum, so whatever was meant to be, has already happened.
Please report, and IF your mom and or the kittens are still alive, we will help you as much as we can.
