Do a online search for low cost or even low income internet. You maybe able to get a discount if your mom's income qualifies or free if she is getting food stamps. Try contacting the big companies to see what is offered in your area. It wont be fancy but it will work.

Check out kids type that can be connected to a smart speaker.
