More information about Tina:  Born in Colima, Mexico, Tina lost both her legs above the knee in a train accident at the age of 5. Tina was the youngest of 9 kids at the time of her accident. She doesn’t remember having legs, but her parents shared many stories of her early years, and they all include a lot of dancing and performing. A very sweet story they shared is while recovering from her amputation she played a little guitar and sang happy birthday to all the patients in the hospital. This sounds very much like Tina; her personality has not changed! Her parents sent her to the USA a year after her accident, so she could have the opportunity to receive better medical care, a good education, and many opportunities to succeed in life.
