Margie & Luis
A Residential Access Story
In this video, "Margie & Luis," we talk with CIL Residential Access Coordinator, Margie Cochran, about how one particular client came to the attention of CIL. We sit down with the client, Luis, a 20-year-old from Oakland, as he explains how the new ramp, provided by CIL, has helped him live more independently.
