ANSWER
Wa alaykum Salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh.
Alhamdulillāh.
It is permissible that you send such monies to your mum, giving her pressing condition.
However, this will only be so if you have no other means of aiding your ill mother aside this but you are sure that this little money will take her out of her current health challenge.
