Episode 11: Cathy Heying of The Lift Garage


Listen Later

I was very excited to speak with a local superhero, Cathy Heying founder of The Lift Garage here in Minneapolis, MN. The lift is a non-profit organization that performs car repairs for those who are homeless or are low-income. Cathy was a social worker and her own words "a church lady" who at the age of 38 decided to go back to school and become an Auto Mechanic. She talks about The Lift, what it is like to go back to school with a bunch of 18 year olds, the challenges she faces and her goals for the organization. The Lift helps folks get back on the road at a fraction of the cost that other shops charge. There are many things that we take for granted and having a functioning vehicle is one of them. They are doing amazing things. Be sure to check out The Lift's website www.theliftgarage.org to help.
