What's the best way to support my single mother friend?

One of my friends is a single mother, and she's having a hard time with three kids. She's in another state, and I can't give her money. I feel like I can't really do a whole lot that is helpful. How can I help her and her kids without overextending myself or feeling totally helpless?

From my limited knowledge... It seems like what a single mother needs most is time. Money sometimes = time.

If you can't send money and you can't help her with time (doing chores, watching kids, etc...), I just don't know what you can do.
