How to navigate loving concern for a friend's parenting struggles

Our friend group all adore her kids and we've become like chosen aunts and uncles to them, but lately we're noticing things that concern us about how overwhelmed she is as a single mom and none of us knows how to offer help without seeming judgmental. We love her and them too much to stay silent but we're afraid of damaging everything.
