Did she have any swelling or wound there before? It looks like an abscess from an infected injury has burst. It's difficult to tell just from the photo though.

She'll need to have the wound cleaned and she'll need some antibiotics to stop the infection. Here are a few places that could help you if you can't afford a vet.

It may be an abcess or tumor or something easily treatable. A trip to the vet is best.

Once the issue has been treated and resolved, please seriously consider setting aside money every month or however often you can to use for vet bills. Vet bills are not cheap as you may know. Look into low cost vet clinics in your area, too.

Please do what ever you can to get kitty to a vet, not trying to scare you but if untreated this could result in a fatal infection

I'm concerned that it could be from an infected tooth. She is likely also in a lot of pain. Please try to get her to a vet.
