My sister is physically disabled, it is very difficult for her to perform ablution with water. She cannot move alone in a wheelchair, our mosque imam said that she could take tayammum with a stone, but we had heard before that it would be made of bricks and soil, and we could not find any bricks. Does she make wudu in this way or not?

You can also find a piece of tile for your sister. Let it be something soil-based. Wash it, keep it like a clean piece at home. If you can't find it, you can use a flower pot (touching the soil inside). May Allah help you.
