Welcome to the site.
Check to make sure your battery cables are clean and tight on both ends, If the cables check out, these trucks are notorious for the starter solenoid checking out. It's a relatively inexpensive part that sits on the passenger side inner fender just behind the battery. Make it's bolted tightly to the firewall as that's how the solenoid grounds. If uthe grounds are ok you can jump the solenoid by removing the red/light blue wire from the small post on the solenoid and applying 12V+ to the small post. If the engine turns over, replace the solenoid.

Battery cables are good, of course check that.
However I don't have the truck in front of me but she said it clicked, so that click %99 is the solenoid, and if it's clicking it's working. And jumping the solenoid like that will CONFIRM that it works, NOT that it doesn't. Jumping the big posts with jumper cables if it turns over will tell you that it doesn't.
