So remember... money is just a symbol of what you're giving her. You're giving her a livelihood.

I know you're not paying her this month, but don't forget about karma and about opportunities you no doubt have and will have to pay it forward.

And don't forget that the work is fulfilling to her, there is a pleasure in helping someone heal that she certainly takes away from this too.
I know in my head that you're right. It's just so weird.
