She was on social assistance yes but she had no idea that her book would be published let alone any subsequent ones, nevermind the notion that it would blossom into what it has become today.
Personally, I love that she gives back. Look at all the rock stars that left the UK in the 70's for example because of the high taxes. She hasn't. I read somewhere once that the taxes that she pays alone covers the cost of the very program that once helped her. That blew my mind.
More power to her! Go Jo!!
