Mission Neighborhood Center - Sandra Judith Flores Zelidon - Fisherman's Wharf - 2019Description
Sandra Judith Flores Zelidon
“Fishermans Wharf”
Mission Neighborhood Center
Sandra is enthusiastic about her art class and creates flyers to tell others about the class. At first, she didn’t think she could do it, she says, but now she is making artwork which allows her to express her feelings, and work through difficult times. Art helps her take her mind off things, and she enjoys the company of her classmates and instructor. Sandra is a sincere and heartfelt person who has “been through suffering” and believes in the power of love and the guidance of angels.
Sandra grew up in El Salvador where she enjoyed one of the happiest times of her life, the celebration of her Quinceañera with her mother and father. Tragically, her father died soon after. Later, as an adult in the U.S., she was taking college classes until 2 car accidents hindered her studies. She, nonetheless, spent 17 years volunteering with a pharmacy and taught reading to adults.
In addition to enjoying time spent with her friends in art class at the Mission Neighborhood Center, Sandra loves her Catholic Church community. She says it feels like being part of a big family where everybody helps each other.
