Karnina Szymanski, founder of The Invisible Woman Collective, shares her mission to help single mothers in Youngstown secure reliable transportation, enabling them to pursue financial stability and better care for their families. Her organization partners with local businesses and community agencies to identify struggling single mothers who are working hard but face transportation barriers.

• Transportation challenges force some single mothers to wake up at 6am to make it to work by 9am
• The Invisible Woman Collective works with agencies like Beatitude House and Mercy Health to identify candidates
• Recipients must have a driver's license, live in Mahoning County, and be primary custodial parents
• Their first car recipient was struggling to afford balloons for her one-year-old son's birthday
• Karnina's motivation stems from growing up in a family of strong single mothers in Youngstown
• The organization held a successful Harlem Renaissance-themed fundraiser with community support
• Donations are tax-deductible through their fiscal partner, Motherful, a 501(c)(3) organization
• Future goals include expanding services and education around financial literacy

Marcie Consiglio, founder of Moab House, shares how a chance encounter with a traumatized foster girl transformed her from business manager to advocate for youth aging out of foster care. She describes building a residential program that provides housing, life skills training, and unconditional support to young adults who would otherwise face homelessness, exploitation, or continued cycles of trauma.

• Moab House serves young adults ages 18-21 who have aged out of the foster care system
• Young residents receive housing, meals, and life skills training in a family-like environment
• Live-in house parents provide guidance while respecting residents' autonomy as adults
• The program simulates apartment living while offering crucial support during transition to independence
• Success stories include residents overcoming behavioral challenges to maintain employment and graduate
• The organization operates primarily through volunteers and community support
• Moab House takes an approach of unconditional love rather than judgment
• 20% of foster youth become homeless immediately upon emancipation at 18
• The organization recently acquired a 15-passenger van to transport residents to work and school
