"It started with a cab drive and a zinger of a line delivered by a seasoned cabbie, 'Welcome to the land of broken dreams,'" said Lava Mae founder Doniece Sandoval. Those seven words and a desire for changed inspired Doniece to set in motion what eventually became Lava Mae.

Her non-profit transforms San Francisco's decommissioned city buses into mobile bathroom facilities for the homeless, equipped with toilets and showers.
