It depends on what you mean. Can you do it for her? No, you can not. Can you provide a place or means to help her? Then yes you can. If you own a business or work somewhere that will "hire" her to do the type of community service that she needs to do to complete her sentence or probation then you can do so. But no one can do it for her. It is unique to her in that it is part of her sentence for what ever offense she committed and what ever conviction or sentence was avoided because of it. If the type of service is, though, difficult for her to complete because of a disability of some sort then that could be an issue to raise to modify the assignment. Good luck.
