The You Matter Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to changing lives, donating time to causes such as supporting domestic violence survivors, and advancing humanity through various nonprofit initiatives. My mission is to better society and humanity by providing education and training in trauma-informed care, peer support, collaboration, and empowerment to all individuals including children, individuals, families, aging adults, and people with disabilities in need of services. At the core of our organization is the belief that everyone matters, regardless of their circumstances.
I’m Susie Delo, the founder of the You Matter Foundation–a trauma-informed and peer coaching organization that also focuses on situational awareness and self-defense. I left my career of 20 years as Agency Manager for the T L Robertson Insurance Agency to pursue my purpose and mission from God to help others thrive.
I am honored to share my journey with you today, as it is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative nature of entrepreneurship. My story is one of overcoming adversity and finding purpose in the pain. I firmly believe that God took the mess of my life and turned it into a message for others.

Growing up, I faced numerous challenges and hardships. However, these experiences ignited a fire within me to make a positive impact on the lives of others. I realized that there was a significant need for Mental Wellness (Fitness) for trauma-informed support and coaching, as well as empowering individuals with situational awareness and self-defense skills.

Among many others, I have formed a valuable partnership with the Founder of Underground Moves, a specialized employee assistance program for survivors of domestic violence.

It is through our struggles that we find the strength to rise above and make a difference. By sharing my story and providing trauma-informed coaching, I aim to inspire others to embrace their own journeys and find their purpose by encouraging them to share their stories.
You Matter has had a significant impact on the economy by providing valuable services. I am proud to contribute to the growth and development of our local community and others.

I'm excited to announce our upcoming mission trip to Belize, starting this Sunday. A special thank you goes to Amy Beery and Harmony Closings LLC for their generous support in providing essential items for the children and caregivers we'll be serving.
With these contributions, we'll engage directly with those affected by trafficking and trauma, offering care and hosting a retreat for staff and volunteers. Our SAFE Hearts program will empower children to protect themselves, focusing on prevention and healing.
Thank you, Amy Beery and Harmony Closings LLC, for your dedication to making a difference. Your support with these items is about to bring hope and healing to many.

Thank you to everyone who made it a memorable day!

We were thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of @Hue , a unique store designed by our dear friend @selfpartneredtherapistandcoach Kayla , a talented therapist, alongside her partner Kim, who is also a therapist. This beautiful space, located in the heart of our community, was dedicated to uplifting and inspiring everyone who visited.
Hue offered an array of products carefully curated to enhance well-being and promote positivity. From soothing aromatherapy candles to inspiring books and wellness tools, each item was selected to support mental and emotional health.
In addition to the wonderful products available at Hue, we were excited to announce a special partnership with "You Matter." This collaboration brought exclusive merchandise to the store, with items that carried messages of hope and empowerment. Every purchase of You Matter merchandise supported initiatives that spread awareness and provided resources for mental health.
As the Master of Ceremonies for this event, I was honored to welcome everyone to this celebration of community, healing, and growth. Kayla and Kim poured their hearts into creating a space that not only served as a retail destination but also as a sanctuary for those seeking comfort and encouragement.
We came together to cut the ribbon and officially open the doors to Hue. It was a joyous occasion, marking the beginning of a journey towards wellness and positivity.
Thank you to everyone who was there and supported this incredible venture. Here's to a bright and colorful future with Hue!
