It is very common for the battery to discharge on a vehicle sitting idle for 3 months. First disconnect the positive + & negative- battery cables, and clean the battery post and cable connections off. Apply a thin layer of dielectric grease or Vaseline to the battery post and connect the negative - cable. Put a battery charger on the battery and let it fully charge overnight. If it will not accept a charge it is defective. It it does show fully charged, connect the positive + cable and see if the engine will start. if not, then more than likely the battery is dead and needs replacing.
You should never drive a car around for long after jump starting a dead battery. This puts an enormous strain on the alternator. Alternators are designed to keep a good battery charged, not to charge a dead battery. You can easily burn out a diode in the alternator. Jump start the engine and drive it somewhere and connect a battery charger to the battery and charge it fully.

The instant the engine starts reverse the procedure to disconnect the jumper cables.

It is possible that a 1993 Toyota will not start when it is cold because the battery does not have enough cranking amps to start the vehicle. Check to make sure that the battery is large enough for the job and is also charging properly.
once a battery is connected even if the key is not in the ignition, there is always power at certain points in your car. Connecting a battery backwards will not start your car, but it can and will fry the wires to your starter.
Connect the red cable to the dead battery's positive post and then connect the other end of the red cable to the good battery's postive post. Then connect one end of the black cable to the negative post of the good battery and the other end to a piece of unpainted metal in the engine compartment of the dead battery's car. Then wait 2-3 minutes and try to start the car.
