Laredo TX- VAIL

The VAIL Center for Independent Living and our Laredo staff, Ricardo Medina and Jesus Sanchez, recently traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with our elected representatives and discuss the vital services provided by Centers for Independent Living. We had the opportunity to explore how our representatives can best support their constituents in light of policies that may impact them.
