I have a kitten probably a few weeks old. His eyes are matted shut and his nose looks crusty. He is very lethargic and won't eat. Is there help for this little guy?

Take him to a vet ASAP. He can lose his vision from an eye infection.
this sounds like an infection, common in baby cats. Defo take him to the vet. After that these are things you can use to help him in the future
I have had several stray kittens with the same problem. I would compare it to a bad head cold in a human. I always wiped their faces/eyes/nose with a warm cloth several times per day to keep them clean and comfortable.
This kitten will need to see a Vet right away or you will lose him. He must have antibiotics for the eyes and respiratory infection. When they are this small you have no time to think about it. His best bet is to be treated right away by a Vet and staying with his mother. A local cat rescue might be helpful. Their foster care givers are very good with tiny kittens. Good luck.
Veterinary fees are high but this baby really needs to see one as soon as possible.
