If she has any money saved at least the amount you need (in your case 2k), how about a share secured loan? If you don't know what that it is, its pretty much a loan with your money as a collateral in which they are usually able to charge you 2% APR at most. This is the last I heard, haven't had one in a while so I'm not sure if its any different but definitely the best way to go and much better then delpeting your savings!
