A local organization is working to support young adults with disabilities in Laredo. The group, founded by Karen Alvarez, aims to prepare these individuals for independent lives. Alvarez's own experience as a mother of a child with health issues inspired her to start this initiative.

The organization offers various activities, including cooking classes, to help young adults develop essential skills. Alvarez's motivation stems from her desire to provide resources for families who may not have access to the same level of support she received. Further information about the organization and its mission can be found through local news sources, such as KGNS.
