I'm sorry but there is absolutely no way I can tell you whether or not the kitten will survive. Bite wounds don't usually cause death, it is the secondary infection they cause. Since you didn't give us a valid zip code I cannot give you any ideas of where you could take her for treatment in your area. I suggest you find a way to get her to a vet. If you can't, then she may pass away. That is the best I can tell you without examining her myself. If you want to post again with your location we can maybe give you some ideas of where to take her for an exam.
