Hi, IT student here. First off, you're right, she shouldn't be hitting her computer, it will not help. Second, if her fan is busted, the ideal solution would be to get it replaced. You can usually get a laptop repaired through the manufacturer if you want to contact them. If the laptop was purchased within the past year, you may not even need to pay anything if there's a warranty.
Ofcourse that's the ideal situation. So you guys are pretty broke and let's say you can't afford to pay for the repair. You can buy a new fan off amazon for like $22, just make sure it is compatible like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Eathtek-Lenovo-IdeaPad-Y400-Y500/dp/B011R6UTMY
plus you want to get thermal paste ($6.14), which is a compound that helps heat move from the CPU to the heatsink/fan (basically helps cool your CPU faster): https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Compound-Performance-Heatsink-Interface/dp/B0045JCFLY/ref=pd_sim_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0045JCFLY&pd_rd_r=5XR5ET0J42RCRSHVH2RM&pd_rd_w=bxPSa&pd_rd_wg=kflV2&psc=1&refRID=5XR5ET0J42RCRSHVH2RM
Then for help installing it, read this fan replacement guide and watch the disassembly video if you need to: http://www.laptopinventory.com/LaptopInventory.php/Lenovo/Y%20Series/Y500/Fan

Worst case scenario get your local nerd friend to help figure it out. It's just a matter of unscrewing and screwing things back together.
If that too is not the option for you, I would try getting a laptop cooling pad, although you REALLY should just get the heatsink/fan for her laptop replaced. A cooling pad may help a bit, but the CPU really needs a direct cooling system that siphons heat off it directly, otherwise it's gonna overheat.
I hope this was helpful and let me know if you have any questions or anything.
EDIT: For the thermal paste, before you attach the replacement fan you want to apply a pea sized amount (maybe a little less than that) onto the middle of the CPU (the square directly under the fan when you lift the fan).
