Feeding and employing are two separate and distinct issues.  Mecca and Medinah have organized gangs who use children and the seemly poor to collect large sums of money.  I think it is a wise social policy not to encourage employment of illegals, as often they are grossly mistreated due to their status.  I know of at least one very organized charity in Jeddah that feeds, clothes and provides healthcare to these poor - mostly Africans who are seen in and around the Haraam in Mecca.  You may want to support such organizations financially.

Those who enter the Kingdom legally often do so with great expense in order to take advantage of better living wages.  Illegal workers drive salaries down at the expense of legal migrants, and are problematic in terms of crimes and tracking their whereabouts when the need arises to investigate criminal activity.  Charity with respect to food and medical are humanitarian aids and in my opinion should trump law - especially in Saudi.

She can go to her embassy for a passport.  Let her leave the country, (she can hop over to Bahrain) and bring her back legally.  If you know the right contacts (waasita), even that will not be necessary.
