Teresa Mansfield

Teresa was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (A.L.L.) when she was almost 8 years old. Her unfortunate struggle led her to being connected with Halo of Hope. Teresa was invited to attend Winter Camp with Halo and had the time of her life. She forged a close connection at camp with Founder Jared and his wife. Her experiences at camp created a life long connection with the Foundation and friendship with the Tomich family.

Teresa is currently starting her senior year in high school. Despite all her struggles, she is a determined and hardworking individual. She currently holds two jobs and is trying to accomplish her CNA training and licensing. She is in the process of deciding what career path she will take and exploring options for college.  She is most interested in culinary arts and business, and would like to open her own shop with her best friend one day.

“Halo gave me hope when I was younger, that I could do anything that I put my mind to. I really do love that they gather so many people from around the United States.” -Teresa
