Sorry, but I don't have very good news for you ...
USB sticks are notoriously unreliable. I've had numerous ones fail on me and have never been able to recover anything from any of them.
But, if you want to make the attempt, here are some things you can try:
1) Download and install this utility http://www.majorgeeks.com/news/story/recover_data_in_3_steps_with_minitool_power_data_recovery_free_...
2) Run the data recovery utility to see what can be retrieved from the USB stick.
If that tool does not find what you need, an alternative is Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva
And, if that does not work well, the best tool out there is this one, but only the trial version is free http://www.file-recovery.com/
