I can not open CHIRP on my computer at all. I have absolutely no computer literacy to be able to begin to try and fix this. An elmer tried to use Team Viewer on my computer but because I can't update beyond 10.12 I can't use TeamViewer. Im completely lost and have no idea what Im doing.

First you need to disable your antivirus to run CHIRP.

I think that the way CHIRP is packaged into a macOS Unified Application now, you must be using High Sierra (10.13) or later. At least that is what the error in the debug.log file would indicate to me.
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/site-packages/gtk/_gtk.so, 2): Symbol not found: _inflateValidate Referenced from: /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/lib/libpng16.16.dylib (which was built for Mac OS X 10.13)
I believe that to run CHIRP on El Capitan (10.12) you would need to install the macOS Legacy Application which is no long kept current. The last available macOS Legacy Application version was chirp-daily-20201128.app.zip. You would also need to install the KK7DS Python Runtime.
