Probably you would have to first construct the profiles for your immediate ancestors (parents, grandparents), or possibly if someone else already has, then you can link them up the chain. Since your mother is/was recent (born within the last 100 years), then you would of course provide information that is discretionary, meaning don't put in particularly sensitive information. That pertains to your own profile too, of course.
As you work through the Wikitree instructions, you will find what you need to construct new profiles, and how to link them to previously existing ones. Good luck with your work, and it's nice to "meet" you in the tree.
