Tessa, 11 years old

Wish submitted by:

Tessa is an amazing little girl who is currently in foster care with her younger brother. Tessa has had much trauma in her short lifetime but has not allowed the trauma to take away her happy outlook on the world. She has some education delays but she works very hard in school. Tessa loves to sing and dance.

Tessa loves running, jumping, racing, and tumbling at the YMCA. Tessa attends the YMCA daily after school and recently started the Track and Field class. Tessa is a speedy runner, and she loves to relay race. A new pair of running shoes would be a great gift got Tessa, who has grown quite a bit. The new sneakers will help her be even faster on the track!
