HANNAH HAS A STORY LLC
DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA

I did not like my parents in the beginning, but I started to like them about two weeks later. Their names are Susan and Jerry Lowenstein, but I call them Momales and Dadales.  Soon after I came to my new home, we went to my parents’ business office, where  I met a lot of friends. On another day, my mom’s friend, Aunt Phyllis, sent a gift for me. It was a doll.  When my mom asked me the doll’s name, I said, “Anna.” My mom smiled and looked from side to side and asked, “What is your favorite name?” I said, “Hannah.” Momales said it was a beautiful name. Then she said, “Why don’t we try it on you for a few days and see how it fits.” So we did. My life today is very different from when I lived in Haiti.  Every Saturday, we needed to organize and wash our clothes, and sometimes some of the kids would help, including me. I love my family now. I am very grateful that they picked me as their daughter.  My Momales always tells me that “I picked her.” Everyone has been so nice to me. I am also grateful that I got to do all these things that I  never did before.
