Hi Elizabeth--
 
As somebody mentioned earlier, it is very important that your friend takes a fecal sample to a reptile vet.  Parasites could certainly keep the gecko from gaining weight, even if it is eating.  Here is a site where you can look up herp vets in your area:

It sounds as though she has a Paroedura pictus.  She will be able to find husbandry information on line.  Here is a link to just one of many resources:   http://www.geckopage.com/pictus.htm
 
Good luck!
