Lily Lo isn t a fan of the spotlight. She wasn t exactly excited to see a TV journalist show up at her office recently to profile her. And as for San Francisco Mayor London Breed s recent proclamation declaring Lily Lo Day in San Francisco, she deadpanned: I hate to say that but it s just a piece of paper.
Despite her aversion to recognition, Lo s gift for pushing paper has turned the credit union manager into a sort of local folk hero in Chinatown. During the pandemic, she toiled in her spare time helping dozens of businesses apply for federal aid that helped them survive the economic free fall.
