"My name is Tiffany Chase and I am an attendant for my aunt, and I'm in school.  When my aunt went into the hospital, my salary completely stopped.  I enjoy my job, but this is not the first time I have been in this situation, and I am sure it will not be the last.  If there was a system where I could be of use to another consumer while my main consumer was away, it would solve my financial dilemma and I could continue on with my education. This is why I am asking you to support the Consumer Workforce Council."
