In Our Own Words
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."
