Was gifted this plant from a friend since they weren’t really taking care of it. Looks kinda sad :/… any tips on nursing it back to health?

Perhaps some succulent food. It doesn't look too bad. It is getting new growth.

Looks like two kinds in here: the taller darker green looks like Gollum Jade, while the other lighter ones might be other crassula or echeveria. Honestly doesn't make too much difference how you'll care for them, they'll probably like mostly the same treatment, I just love jades and recognized those tall reaching stems 💚

I mean they can be treated the same despite being different types. So any recommendations Planta or other sources give you for one type should work equally well for the other. 🙂 they look pretty healthy, but definitely make sure they get good light, and as the other commented mentioned, maybe some succulent food/fertilizer if you wanted to.
