Latia Maldonado, Paraprofessional, Oak Hill
I'm struggling to pay my mortgage. I'm struggling to pay my light. I'm struggling to put oil in my tank so i can heat my house. My biggest frustration is not being compensated for the work that we do. It's very hard to have a livable wage and make the funds that we need to survive on what we're making today.
Johannah Alabi, CNA, Avery Heights & Governor's House
"I told the governor's staff about my own personal story. Spending a year living in my car with my daughter. We are now living with my mother, but I don't even make enough to afford to live in my own apartment. It's not possible when you're making only $18 to $20 an hour."
Latia Maldonado, Paraprofessional, Oak Hill
“The residents are like our family, taking care of some of them for years. They rely on seeing us every day,”
Michael Furlow, LPN, New Haven Nursing & Rehab
