Reina Andrews

Lori Connell

At my age, education and employment opportunities are non-existent. I will be forever grateful to everyone who made this miracle happen.
— Reina

Reina Andrews is a beautiful example of Mi Esperanza's mission. She is a single mother of five and a grandmother of thirteen.  She graduated from the sewing course in 2018. 

Reina with her daughter and three granddaughter

One of her daughters had graduated from the computer course (and from the cosmetology course) the previous year. She encouraged her mom to enroll. Reina was going through a period of severe depression and grief. Her beloved brother had passed, and she had difficulty recovering from that pain. Reina decided to enroll in the sewing course, and with that decision, her life changed. 

When asked how Mi Esperanza has changed her life, she said,

“It has been a 180° change. I was so depressed when I came here. The classes cheered me up. I started feeling important and useful.
