You can't make a low resolution image into high resolution. If she doesn't have a high resolution version to give, you'll need to create a new one.

Depending on the graphics, you can bring it into illustrator, trace everything, then fill. Then you can expand it to the size you need. Really, you're re-making it.

There are other software packages/plugins out there.
Bottom line though; "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" or "You can't polish a turd!"

There are ways to increase the size of an image, even within photoshop. Interpolation basically creates additional pixels based on an estimation of the pixel values around it. There are different methods available, such as Bicubic which generally gives the best results, or Nearest Neighbour which, instead of calculating a new pixel value based on a combination of those pixels nearest to it, just picks the colour of the nearest pixel and replicates it.
While these methods of interpolation are definitely not perfect, and also turn out completely differently depending on the image, they may be worth a try if you've not already done so.
It's a while since I've done it, but I believe in the Image > Image Size dialogue box there's some options at the bottom in a drop down list to change the interpolation method. It's worth experimenting with a few of them, but if none of them work then I'm afraid re-creating the image as suggested above by tracing with Illustrator is probably your best bet.
