Tens of thousands of New Yorkers who are aging or have a disability rely on home care workers like Lolli to live independently and with dignity in their homes. 

For Lolli, caring for someone is more than just a job. It is her passion and calling, but she worries about those who follow in her footsteps. "I work with young people who are starting this profession and who are excellent at their job, but you feel that you have to discourage them because they want to start a family, own their own home, and that can't be done with the salary we have."
