Why do you assume she couldn't be getting paid for it? Maybe she's just not charging.

If she's doing something she could be getting paid for bit she's not charging, then society definitely should not have to pick up the bill. That's just unfair.

Generally it works so that you get paid to do things for rich people, but if you do those things for poor people you don't get paid.
