My friend is about to get deported and She NEEDS Help!

I dont know if anyone on here can help but here is the story. She loves this country, her kids love this country and our country told her to get out. My mom typed this up late last night for me, my brother, and sister to try to get out. If you can help please try. Please dont make it political, I dont want it to get locked or deleted.

I'd like to bring to your attention a serious matter which occurred today in the Immigration court in Philadelphia. After being in this country for 8 years, a woman, Mary, and her 2 children were ordered to be deported to Eqypt. This is their story. Eight years ago this young woman and her 2 young children, ages 5 and 1, came to the U.S. on a visitor's visa from Eqypt. Shortly after her arrival she applied for asylum due to religious persecution she had suffered in Eqypt. She is a Coptic Christian. She was persecuted in Eqypt because she was accused of attempting to convert a Moslem child to Christianity. The child in question had come into her weekly church school class in the Coptic Church building one time with another child. Her class consisted of 25 to 30 children. Apparently he told his parents what he had heard in the class which was not in agreement with the Islamic religion. After this happened, she was hounded by some Moslem people and not protected by the police because as it is well known Christians are not protected or supported in this Islamic country. She actually had to move around to different locations in an effort to keep herself and her children safe. Although a complaint was made to the police, they deny knowing anything about it in spite of the fact that she has a copy of the paper with the case number. They insist they have no case against her. At one point someone had attempted to grab her baby son from her and he suffered a dislocated elbow then and still today is susceptible to injuries to his arm. For almost 8 years this matter was before the U.S. Immigration Court and she appeared many times before the judge. At some point our court actually sent her case information to the Eqyptian government. At a hearing about a year ago, a Mr. Marshall (I believe he is well known and trusted because of his expertise in this area) explained to the court the tragic situation that exists regarding the Coptic Christians in Eqypt. Today, her request for asylum was denied and she and the children are to be deported from the U.S. I believe this is a travesty on the part of the United States. She likely will be imprisoned when she returns to Eqypt. She could possibly be killed in prison. Most likely her 13 year old daughter will be abused and given to a Moslem man and who knows what will become of her son. This woman had nothing to gain by coming to the U.S. except safety and freedom of religion. She had been born into a well educated family with moderate means. She herself had a college education and was living a comfortable life. She left everything behind and has lived in our country, caring for her children, living a law abiding life and decent life, and working menial jobs at minimum wage to support them since of course she was unable to obtain a green card. I believe this travesty is shameful in itself and even more so when I hear that our government may be granting asylum to thousands of illegal immigrants from Mexico, many of which have questionable character and goals and have suffered no ill from their own government. If you agree and think you can help Mary and her children, please contact me for more information.
