Youth Volunteer Spotlight: Andrew

Andrew has been a very important part of Hands4Hope since it began.

"My mom (Jennifer) started Hands4Hope because she wanted to teach my brother and me to appreciate all we have," he said. "At first, I had no choice whether I wanted to volunteer or not, but after doing a couple events, it started making me feel like I am important and making a difference."

Andrew said Hands4Hope has made him appreciate more about his life and the things he has to be thankful for, including his mom. She has taught him quite a few things since starting Hands4Hope. "I'm really glad my mom started this. She's always wanted to make a difference and she taught me that when you set your mind to something, you can achieve it. I'm proud of her."

Although he loves many events, he said working at the Green Valley Community Church Kid's Cafe is one of his favorites. "There is this little boy that comes that I have really connected with," he said. "I feel like I am a role model for him because he doesn't have any older siblings."

Feeding the homeless has made him realize the importance of doing well in school and staying away from drugs. He also said it made him feel more connected to the community. "A woman came up to me and said 'it's because of people like you that make me want to keep on living'. I will never forget that."

"I'll always be a volunteer," he said. "Life is different for me because of Hands4Hope. I've been enlightened and have a lot more gratitude because of it."

Andrew has volunteered countless hours setting up and working the Haunted House. "I love it," he said. "Building it has been awesome!"

Thank you, Andrew, for all of your hard work!!
