St. Paul/Minneapolis--08/21/2011--A little girl from St. Louis Park has a big message for others about giving. 3-year-old Hannah Grosser is living proof you don't need to be big to make a big difference.
[Web Ed.: Hannah is the first great-grandaughter of Dr. and Mrs. David Madeira of Rhode Island. Dr. Madeira was the co-founder of Partners with Haiti, with Dr. Jean Claude Noel in the early 1970's.]

Hannah heard about a Haitian woman named Anita and her sons in church. Anita's husband died in the earthquake and the family home was destroyed.

Hannah and her mom baked dozens of cookies. They sold them for 50-cents a piece at a lemonade stand. In just two hours, Hannah earned $88. That money will go to help Anita build a new home.
