I feel that she needs to learn to pick herself up, and not be so depended on people/state.

I agree with that statement -- but from what I've seen from people - they don't know how to do anything else.. it's something that really needs to be taught if it doesn't come naturally to them. Is it your place to teach her? I don't know - I don't enought about your relationship to answer that...
Budgeting money doesn't come naturally to a lot of people... maybe suggesting a course she could take to help her with that...
Is it your place to support her? She's got the kids with her, and well the rent will cover a roof over their head so you are helping out your children.

Child support is support for the children... Deducting a loan/gift given that's not for direct support of the children (food in their mouths, clothes on their backs) is not fair to the children.
