There's not really a home remedy for a prolapse rectum. Sometimes it requires surgery to fix it.
The best thing to do, for now, would be to keep the area moist. Make sure the tissue hasn't dried out and hope for the best.
You "could" try to gently push it back in, "if" the tissue hasn't died. You'd need to lubricate it first, but I have no idea if that would work. If it's still pink and appears to be vialble tissue, then there's a slight chance that pushing it back in will help. If the tissue has darkened.... Then it might be too late. BTW it dosesn't have to be "black" for the tissue to be dead. It could be a darker shade of pink or reddish.
If you can post a picture, maybe one of the forum members could tell you if the tissue "looks" like it's still alive.
Since you can't afford to take her to a vet..... That's about all you can do for now.
What makes you think she's constipated?? When was her last meal? When did she last deficate? Are you sure it's her rectum and not her uterus??
BTW a "less expensive" alternative might be avaliable, "if" you have a Veterinary College near you. They charge considerably less, than the average Vet, and they do very good work.
I had a Leopard Gecko with a prolapsed hemipene. I was only charged for the meds and anastesia. The total cost was 108 dollars. My Gecko is still doing fine and it's been over a year, since his surgery.
