Got a call from a person from church, I'd met a couple
times. She got my number from a common friend.

Lights won't work, both bathrooms. And power sockets won't
work either. Been about a month. Single Mom, no money.
Finally she asked around. Who do we know, in the church, who
might know some about electrical. She got my number, and
called.

Several of her friends have looked around, and tried to fix
it. None of her friends could fix. She's getting tired of
needing a flashlight to take a shower.

One "Attaboy" to the first person who correctly guesses the
problem.

GFCI tripped?

GFI Breaker or a wall GFI that feeds both baths.

Wall GFI units have reset buttons in my experience.

Otherwise, look for reset options on breakers in the breaker box.
Non-GFI ones show orangish red when tripped unless defective - push their
levers towards "off" and after that towards "on".

As for GFI breakers in the breaker box - my experience there is very
minor, push a lever towards "off" and after that towards "on", and look
for a "Reset" button to push.

This will fail if the tripping was caused by a problem that is still in
place and capable of causing such tripping. My experience indicates
more-likely-not, but there is some chance this becomes a home repair
issue more significant than unpopping a popped breaker.
