Francis Rivera & Olga Fuentes

"My name is Francis Rivera. I am thankful that Olga has been able to help me with my daily needs for the past three years. If she couldn't provide care, I'd need an organized way to find someone I was compatible with, and competitive wages, so attendants would stay longer. That is why I support building the Consumer Workforce Council."

Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!

A Consumer Workforce Council will expand home care options for seniors and people with disabilities -- while improving wages and providing health benefits for the direct care attendants who serve them.

Ray Ferry and Dawn Esterly

"This is Ray Ferry, and he's a physically disabled man. And I'm Dawn Esterly, and I'm Ray's personal care attendant. Ray sees his attendants struggling. In the past, Ray's attendants have not had health care, and it caused problems for him -- they'd have to call off, or come to work sick. We need the Consumer Workforce Council because attendants like us need support to help our consumers."
