If you want to may more in taxes, the IRS accepts donations.

Could I have charged $1000 and pocketed a little profit? Of course. But it would have come directly at her ability to succeed. I think that's deeply unethical. I think it's morally repugnant to profit from housing.
But the point is that I believe we should all chip in more to help each other out.
