Natividad Espinal is a mother of three daughters, Mariana, Madeline, and Morena (pictured below). Natividad has been working since she was a teenager and over time has been able to build her own colmado, or corner store. It was not an easy road and, at times, she struggled to get by and provide for her family. With years of hard work and determination, she now runs two successful businesses: her colmado and fresh seafood sales on the streets of a nearby fishing town. She sells all types of seafood including fish, shrimp, octopus, and even a few piña coladas!

When she first heard of Esperanza, she made sure that all three of her daughters joined. She affirms, “Esperanza will help my daughters become successful businesswomen and will keep them from going through all the hardships I had to go through. They will be able to provide an excellent life for my grandkids.”

With Esperanza’s help, Natividad hopes that her three daughters will excel in their businesses and eventually be able to take out a home loan! She wants her daughters to build their businesses and their homes, so they can depend on themselves and no one else. If her daughters work hard in their business, she knows they will be successful and influential women in the community.

Natividad feels blessed to have found Esperanza for her daughters and wishes that she had been apart of the blessed organization when she was just starting her business. All she wants in life is for her children to live happy lives and she knows that, with Esperanza by their side, her dream will become a reality.
