Tesia is an adorable little girl, born in November of 2014 with low muscular tension. She cannot stand on her own, but does like to move around in a walker. Tesia doesn’t yet speak any words, but she can understand, follow instructions, and respond when called.

Tesia is a quiet, obedient, and smiley little girl who gets along well with others. She likes listening to music and playing with toys. Her favorite toys are rag dolls.

Tesia needs a loving family and access to good medical care/resources. We are hoping Tesia is home with her family to celebrate her 5th birthday!
