I used to have a gecko girl with stuck shed on her eye, much like your rescue girl. The vet had us gently swab at it with some Shed-Ease two or three times a day. It took a while, but it did come off.
I do hope she's able to see for you though, she does look rather squinty. Why do I feel like this is a byproduct of a sandy substrate? Tsk. I hope she turns around for you!

Re: Rescue in need of help! ASAP.
Poor girl. She looks pretty okay, aside from her eyes. I'm surprised she's not missing any toes. Add a moist hide box in her tub with her with either damp sphagnum moss or wet paper towel. Just keep working the shed off with a q tip with water or shed ease. It should (hopefully) eventually come off. Keep plenty of water in a water bowl & be sure to dust the crickets with vitamin d3/calcium and keep a tray of regular calcium in her tub, too.

Thought I'd give a quick update. I got all the gunk out of her eye, found out she is permanently blind.  Doesn't eat on her own or anything, so she needs regular hand gentle force feedings to gain her weight back.
Its rather sad, shes such a sweet girl.

Poor babe. Is she in good gecko spirits, at least?

Re: Rescue in need of help! ASAP.
That is optimistic; although, I think one would be able to tell based on its reaction to movements or lack thereof.
