i really need help on this one
i work for a high school in the it division

Like the previous poster said, use the camera as a reader by plugging it into the PC instead of trying to access the card directly.

It's expensive but you could also tell them to try DataRecoveryMasters.com

Do the names need to be restored?

You can get that data. Consider a data recovery place. It's expensive (I'm guessing about $500 in your case) but it would be worth it to the family and friends. Consider Ontrack, I have used them a few times.
Dont format or otherwise write to the disk in the meantime.
Indeterminism. There's nothing you can do about it.
