My mom is able to make the minimum payments but she has NO MONEY LEFT. She is so stressed out because of this. She is disabled, so she cannot work to make more money.

You can try to settle the accounts on your own but I personally wouldn't because I don't want to hassle with it. And I wouldn't recommend you stop paying the creditors until you are approved with a program.
