Hi Sandra, a picture would help us a lot. Is the drawer slide or the actual drawer itself that's broken?

I took a picture on my phone. I'm trying to upload it. Having a little difficulty doing that.

You might be able to purchase some small metal brackets to reinforce it back together again.

How is it broken? You might be able to use Wood Glue to repair. Then you can hold in place with clamps or tape, depending on the issue.

That is particle board and looks like it had been repaired before. The connections are damaged or shredded. The only solution is to use the drawer parts as a template to make new parts or take measurements and build your own or have one built.
