A 4-year-old girl with cerebral palsy is melting hearts all over the internet after her parents published a video of her taking her very first steps without a cane.
Maya Tisdale was born as a micro preemie weighing only 1 pound back in 2013. She was then diagnosed with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy at 2 years old.
“Maya’s type of CP causes the muscles in her hips, legs and feet to be tight or spastic,” says the family’s YouCaring page. “Because of her CP, Maya is currently unable to stand on her own for more than a few seconds, or walk without the use of walker.
“Despite these challenges, Maya gives it her all every day. If her brothers play baseball, she plays baseball; if her friends are climbing a snow bank, she’s right behind them in her walker. She has an incredible will and a tenacious attitude.”
