Before residents move on from Hannah's House they are encouraged to write a letter about their experiences here. Often times that letter ends up being a tearful and heartfelt thank you to the staff, board, volunteers and sponsors of Hannah's House. The following is a letter from Patty, a former resident of Hannah's House.
