Tessa Feller

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Tessa works 3 jobs, homeschools her 2 wonderful boys, is earning her degree and still looks for time to help anyone she can. She is gentle, loving, and one of the hardest working people I know.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?
Tessa is the absolutely the most caring person I know. She gives 110% to everything she does. She is always looking for a way to not only improve her and her family's situation, but is behind the scenes trying to improve anyone she can situation. I am lucky enough to have her as my caregiver, and more importantly my adopted family. Tessa has been best friends with my daughter since junior high school. I hope everyone has the opportunity to meet her.

Thank you for all you do, Tessa!
