When you think, 'someone should do something,' think we! | Cathy Heying | TEDxEdina

What happens when a 38 year old woman with advanced degrees in social work walks into a classroom full of 18 year old boys, ready to pursue a degree in auto technology? The Lift Garage: a non profit aimed to move people out of poverty and homelessness by providing low-cost car repair; and an embodiment of what we are capable of when we let go of the idea that we must go it alone. After a career in ministry and social work, Cathy Heying went back to school to become an auto mechanic, having see first hand that transportation was a key barrier for people struggling to move out of homelessness and poverty. Today, as founder and Executive and Operations Director at the non-profit Lift Garage, Cathy and her team provide low-cost car repair, free pre-purchase car inspections and regularly scheduled car-care classes, as well as the sense of independence and freedom that comes with a functioning vehicle. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
