2013 Mookover Winner!
Tesha and her family!
We’re so happy to announce Tesha K. and her sister Laron as the Mookover winners! With over 800 nominations, it was incredibly hard to choose just one. Laron submitted the winning nomination, which describes her sister Tesha’s generosity and dedication to helping others. Tesha is a Tillamook-loving single mom who, in addition to raising two biological daughters and two adopted special needs children, also provides respite foster care for kids in Spokane. She also sponsors orphanages and families from around the world, because, as Laron says, “She felt she had more to give.” Inspired by her sister’s kindness, Laron is donating her prize pack to families in her area. Congratulations to Tesha and Laron!

Tesha and Laron are family members, and even though they are decades younger than me, I want to be like them when I grow up! Both are beautiful, strong, gentle, intelligent, and gifted women.
