Piggyback Foundation

Our Story

The Piggyback Foundation of Youngstown was inspired by a heartfelt initiative started in Norwalk, Ohio, in 2007. Founded by school teacher Lisa Hiler, the original foundation aimed to assist students facing challenges due to family health crises. Recognizing a similar need in the Mahoning Valley, Janelle Nagy established the Youngstown branch in 2016, dedicated to helping families maintain normalcy during serious illnesses.
