There are "pedal extenders" that you can buy. You have to buy them from an approved supplier (at least in MA) for them to be legal. (Have an accident with homemade ones and your insurance won't cover you, as I understand it.) My mother had a set in her Explorer. They cost a fortune ($70 a piece if I recall correctly) for what they are.
Do you have another vehicle in the family that she can drive for the next month? That might be easiest, if it is an option.
