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."

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.

"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."
