I cannot offer a ride, but you may want to ask on some other Pennsylvania furry resources:

Good luck!

You're "trying to figure out a way for her to come up there"?

Lancaster is served by both Greyhound and Amtrak. (I just checked.) If she wants to keep expenses down, she can bus it for 7-9 hours, and if she buys her tickets more than 7 days in advance, she'll pay a lot less for them.
($58 round-trip versus $134 round-trip.)
She can buy those in person at the station ASAP, and note she'll have 1 transfer-she'll need to change buses at one point each way.

If she can afford it, however, she can take the train- the Pennsylvanian line stops at Lancaster 2 stops after Philly.
According to my calculations, it would be about 6 hours, 20 minutes, remaining on the Pennsylvanian (no transfer), for $43 each way. I consider that such a pleasant way to travel that I'm using that train to AC until events prevent me from doing so. (And I have a longer ride than she does.)
Make sure she buys her ticket in advance-I recommend before the day she travels-and bring ID to do so.

You can look at this site's info for travel for more information, and also go directly to Greyhound and Amtrak's sites like I just did- they're not hard to use.

All of this, of course, is more significant if she doesn't get a ride....
