My First Day of Family Advocacy Day

Today has been a busy day. I did some radio interviews this morning. I also met other kids here for Family Advocacy and learned more about how to advocate on behalf of HSC.

Today was the first time I heard that Congress was considering cuts to Medicaid which pays for my therapy and equipment that helps me be a productive citizen.

Tomorrow I am planning to tell Congress how important Medicaid is and that they should not cut it.

Cedric,
It was a pleasure to meet you today and hear your story. You are a wonderful orator and listening to you is like reading poetry. Thank you for being a part of Family Advocacy Day. Good luck on the Hill today when you meet with members of Congress.
