    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（机械学）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．"
