Unless she is a US citizen or national, and has a social security number, you can't claim her as a dependent and can't claim any deductions for her or for the money you send her.

No, that is not deductible.
If your mother is a US citizen you might be able to claim her as a dependent if she has less than $3,400 in gross income for the year AND you provide more than 50% of her support.
