Trying To Help A Friend

So my friend is in her mid 30's and she told me her credit score was around 558.Cat Indifferent I know bad. So I was wondering how can I help her get going in the right way. She has already pulled her free report so I can't look at that.

 

Would she be able to get a credit card? What about a gas card? Anything?

 

I was thinking about adding her to one of my cards, but I think that is tooo risky for me.

 

Anyway so how can we get her in the 600's so she would be on the road to better credit.
