Yes, I would and have worked for someone for free. It made me feel good about myself just helping someone in need. Although this person did seem to take advantage of my good nature in the long run. I volunteered to help her with some things she needed done around the house because I knew she was on a fixed income and up in age. She was the mother of a friend and about 80yrs old. It was originally supposed to be a few hours of work but turned into four days of everything she could think of. She would call me all the time (mostly while I was working) and expect me to drop everything I was doing to solve her every problem. It eventually grew to be too much to bare and I had to lay down some ground rules.I guess this is most likely not exactly what you were discussing but usually "you" also get something out of this kind of relationship also even if it isn't money.
