Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near you so I can't help, but have you tried Freecycle? You can put out a request for an item, and I'd bet with your story someone would come through for you. There's also a "for free" section on craigslist. Just make sure you brush up on safety requirements (no dropside, width between bars, etc...)

I remember you. Congrats on the placement!

Good luck mama!
ETA: A free crib was just posted on the "For Free" board of your local craigslist earlier today! https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/zip/2500177410.html
