This would be a lot more meaningful if she did that old trope and straight-up switched places with someone for the day. Eat what they would've eaten, travel how and where they would have traveled, stay where they would have stayed, and have the same amount of daily spending money they would normally have had (and if that number's zero, welp, guess it's good she's such a hard worker. I'm sure she she'll be fine.)

Dear Ms. Mah,
It's nice to want to understand what it's like to be a poor person, but you know what would actually help poor people? Sharing a bit of that excess you clearly enjoy. Come back and brag after you do a bit of that, then maybe we could talk.

Sincerely,
Economy-flying, home-cooking, subway riders.
