My mom is a housekeeper for 4 different people in Manhattan, naturally they all cancelled her indefinitely, without pay. I am certain that none of them lost their income but her income just went to zero. If you hire a housekeeper, please pay them, it’s the decent thing to do!
Fortunately, my mother doesn’t have children that she has to support because we’re adults now, but 20 years ago she had two mouths to feed and a situation like this would’ve resulted in our family being homeless. Do the right thing, I know you can!
Wow! It truly warms my heart to know that this tweet is bringing awareness to how important it is to be there for the people that take care of us! For all of you that are continuing to pay your workers, thank you!
I encourage everyone that is able and wants to help to look at these two funds specifically for workers in need!

Ahora en Español! Mi mamá es trabajadora doméstica para 4 familias en Manhattan. Naturalmente por la situación, sus clientes le cancelaron el trabajo indefinidamente, sin pago. Tengo la certeza de que ninguno de ellos perdió su empleo y tienen la capacidad de pagarle. 1/3
Por favor, si contratas a gente que te ayuda con quehaceres o cuidan a tus hijos y tú no has sido afectado financieramente por la crisis, págales! Por fortuna, mi mama no tiene hijos pequeños que dependen de ella, pero si esto hubiera ocurrido hace 20 años muy seguramente 2/3
Nuestra familia hubiera perdido nuestra vivienda. Has lo correcto y págale a tus empleados si puedes, es lo correcto! Ellos dependen de eso 3/3
