Hummingbird born with underdeveloped wing

Hi Hummingbird Enthusiasts:

My mother has found a young hummer that was born with one of it's wings underdeveloped. Her neighbor came to her knowing my mother's love for hummingbirds- it was on the ground and unable to fly.. more or less abandoned by it's mother. The left wing is not developed and as a result, it can't fly. It still had baby feathers... but the bird has progressed as well as can be expected. She has been taking care of it for 2 weeks now. My mother is wondering what should be done.. She spoke to a hummingbird rescue and the woman was not nice to her at all...My mom doesn't want the bird to die, but clearly this bird will never be able to live in the outside world. Any suggestions? Thank you so much.
