BFAIR Joins the Caring Force

Katrina Cardillo • July 14, 2025

Four people served by BFAIR, along with five staff, made the long trek to the Boston State House for the 13th Annual Caring Force Rally on May 8, 2025. After listening to personalized stories from family members, staff, and people who received services in the past, the group walked through the halls of the State House to meet with legislators. When meeting with these legislators, the focus was on student loan forgiveness for direct care workers and getting direct care workers up to a livable wage. It was a beautiful and successful day in Boston and the group got to enjoy their lunch in the Boston Common Park afterwards!
