Urgent help needed for prospective client

So I have a prospective client who's hobby involves scanning and uploading images of a charity related item (don't want to be too specific for obvious reasons) to basically serve as a directory for the charities to look at to find out more information about this particular item. (model, manufacture date etc).

She has a current site but it's been down for a while, and she has zero computer knowledge. After a lot of confusion I finally figured out she uses 'fetch ftp' to upload the images/descriptions and Clarisworks? Which I have no clue about in any way.

She has around 10,000 images already uploaded with info etc and basically just wants the website transferred and updated. I was hoping to transfer it to wordpress - is this possible?

The problem is she literally knows nothing, so it's extremely hard to figure out exactly what's going on.

I'm pretty sure she has no access to the hosting. She says she can burn all the images and info to disk and send them over to me..is there a way to mass upload all that information to wordpress? It only needs to be a simple A-Z directory site with the charities names listed then the items listed from there. And a search bar - which is obviously built in anyway.

Does anyone have any suggestions at all? I'm completely at a loss.

Or even anyone who would be able to help out/have experience on a project like this? Possible outsourcers?

She's makes no profit from this, she's house bound and it's her hobby so would like to get it running again. I genuinely want to help her but I've resisted commiting to the project so far because I can see me ending up uploading the 10,000 images and descriptions one by one

Thanks in advance warriors.
