Several of the Alpha Strike boxes are still available on many places online. I even linked to one on Amazon being sold for less than its original retail price. Although, I actually meant to link to this one, which is only $12: https://www.amazon.com/Catalyst-Game-Labs-35715CAT-BattleTech/dp/B00SYI25WG/ref=pd_bxgy_21_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00SYI25WG&pd_rd_r=W6QXBFHQ35WADW23PDV7&pd_rd_w=B43AK&pd_rd_wg=8pNaT&psc=1&refRID=W6QXBFHQ35WADW23PDV7
EDIT: And this one is in stock and sold by Amazon itself: https://www.amazon.com/BattleTech-Assault-Lance-Board-Game/dp/B00QY3BZRO/ref=pd_bxgy_21_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00QY3BZRO&pd_rd_r=1TPYRZDQ5CF3DXHATCM1&pd_rd_w=NKMZ1&pd_rd_wg=cRO1M&psc=1&refRID=1TPYRZDQ5CF3DXHATCM1
EDIT2: And most the packs are still available from Catalyst themselves: https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/pages/search-results?q=lance%20pack
For minis the lance packs like these are available (costs you around $12 average): https://www.amazon.com/Catalyst-Game-Labs-35715CAT-BattleTech/dp/B00SYI25WG
You can also buy pre-made terrain too... search around.
Edit: For maps... probably get her some battlemats, search around for cheaper options for your budget. Battlemats have printed terrain on rubber backing, something like this: http://www.tablewar.com/the-f-a-t-mat/3x3-f-a-t-mat/ Make sure to get the ones with hexes or get some PDFs and print them out in kinkos or something.
Maybe hit the official BT website and print out the free quick start rules and some mech sheets (laminate them and supply a couple of dry-erase markers too) to give your mom a personal starter set.
