Patricia Walker is a ten dollar an hour home health care worker in Tampa. She is in the state Capitol this week to push for a 15 dollar an hour minimum wage, or for lawmakers to live on her salary for a day, because she can’t make ends meet on ten dollars an hour.

“A lot of people have to make choices between eat and rent, or buy clothes for my kids, or they have to make choices between, you know, eight and ten dollars an hour” says Walker.”

Walker says she spent three years living in a shelter because she couldn’t afford rent until she found a roommate.
