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.

Driven by my passion and the desire to create change, I founded You Matter.

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.

Through my journey, I have discovered the power of collaboration, mentorship, and creating a supportive network with others. 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. Women’s Services: Human Trafficking Task Force.
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. By coming together and supporting one another, we can overcome these challenges and build a stronger, more vibrant economy.

🌻💙💙💛💛🌻What an amazing day at Goddard State Park on Saturday, June 21, 2025!
We had a fantastic class with great interaction and discussion about situational awareness and self-defense. It was inspiring to see everyone actively participating and eager to learn.
A special thank you to Megan McDowell, Environmental Education Specialist from the Bureau of State Parks at Maurice K. Goddard State Park, for organizing this event. Your dedication to education and safety is truly appreciated!
In the photo, I'm with Sharon Long from CATA. We were both part of Leadership Meadville #15, and it was wonderful to reconnect.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. Your enthusiasm and commitment to learning are what make these events so rewarding!
