I'm really grateful to the woman who works for me once a month--when my home really gets a good cleaning, but I've also been aware that I provide no benefits, and I assume the other people she works for don't either.
Recently I got her and me two tickets to the Quinceañera of La Colectiva, a group she belongs to whose theme is "Aging with Dignity," something we all hope to do.
The people who help us in our homes (and 93% are women!) are often care-takers, work they do lovingly and well. Now we need to think about who is going to take care of them.
Here Luz and I are with a mother and son. She spoke on her dream-come-true, being an entrepreneur, and this was the eve of his graduation from Presidio Middle School.
Supervisor Hillary Ronen spoke--with enthusiasm that sounded genuine.
