As all the volunteers who helped make it possible watched, Andrews teared up as she looked at her new car, a shiny silver Honda Accord.
"These are the kinds of things that help women like me move on, and show that people care about us as humans," Andrews said.
But, it's not just a reliable form of transportation for Andrews to get to work. It's what Andrews does 20 hours a week as a domestic violence counselor, and why.
As a teenager, Andrews was sold for sex throughout the greater Los Angeles and Inland Empire area. She now considers it her mission to help other victims of human trafficking, and says her new car will help.
"For me, this means hundreds and thousands of girls who can possibly be reached," Andrews said.
The car was damaged in the past, but Ben Clymer's The Body Shop in Yucaipa, along with other businesses, restored the car, making it look brand new before presenting it to Andrews.
That's not all. She also got a trunk full of much-needed groceries.
But Andrews says it's not just about the car, nor the trunk full of groceries, but about the chance to help others.
"To know that I'm empowered now, I can help bridge that gap, because I'm a survivor," Andrews said.
