問題詳情:
Social worker Cathy Heying noticed a growing tendency among the homeless and unemployed people she served for nearly a decade at St.Stephen's Catholic Church in Minneapolis."At least twice a week,someone would mention car trouble as a reason for missing a job interview or not getting the kids to day care,"says Cathy,44."I thought if I could offer car repairs,I could prevent these problems."So in December 2012,with little more automotive experience than making small changes to improve her own motorcycle,Cathy signed up for a mechanics(機械學)program.After two years of taking a full-time course,Cathy obtained a part-time degree in auto technology from Dunwoody College of Technology. Then she opened the Lift,a nonprofit garage offering affordable car repair for needy people."I had no mechanics,no volunteers,and only a few tools,"says Cathy.She operated from a partly closed area in a friend's garage.But she made it work. One of Cathy's first customers,Linda Granger,was unemployed when her social worker referred her to the Lift.Her 20-year-old pickup truck had a new heater,timing belt,and brakes fixed by Cathy and a volunteer for 600total,which Lindai spaying off in 20 monthly installments.The same repairs would have cost at least $1,800 at a typical garage. "There's no way I could have afforded it otherwise,"says Linda. "It's been a hard journey from social worker to mechanic,"says Cathy."But compared with other people's struggles,I have nothing to complain about."
