However, she expanded her activity and also started collections of funds to also provide the poor from neighboring parishes with supplies.

In 1835, her father died: at the time of his death, his affairs were in disorder, and for a while, there was a risk that the family could go bankrupt.

In Stockholm, she was constantly active in various charitable activities, providing homes for the homeless, health care for the sick, education for children, supplies for the starved, wood for the freezing, work for the unemployed, "with the same gravity, as if she had been appointed to this task by the state and awarded accordingly by salary".

During the cholera epidemic of Stockholm in 1853, she was the secretary in the St Jakobs församlingskomittée av den stora välgörenhetsförening för fattiga barn och nödlidande (The St Jakob Parish Committee of the Great Charity Society for Poor Children and the Needy), where she is described as the leading force by Fredrika Bremer, who was also a member.

Her charitable work was described by Fredrika Bremer and Emily Nonnen for Wilhelmina Stålberg, who included her in her dictionary of notable Swedish women in 1864.
