medical billing fraud

Ok.
My boyfriends mom is having a major back surgury done in February. She had a person donate $10,000 to her for the expenses. She has all the money that has been donated and earned in a medical account, with her friend who is also on the account. She will be out of town for about 2 to 3 weeks, and she decided that it might be useful for her to have a laptop for research and bill paying. She used some of her medical money for this. Her friend called her in hysterics telling her that it was fraud and that she had to send it back or else she would take herself off the medical account and she wouldn’t go with her.
Is buying the computer really fraud? She’s willing to send it back, if she’s going to get in trouble, but not just because her friend says she has to. She has other people to go with her, and that she can put on the account.
Thanks

As I said, She is willing to send the computer back, and she didn’t know that she wasn’t supposed to buy the laptop with that money, because it was donated by all family, but she was just wondering if that was just her friend being dumb, or if she was right. She will send the computer back immediately.
Sorry guys!
the donations were made to cover ALL costs, not just medical bills. that’s why she didn’t know it would be fraud
