So Many Health Issues

Since she was born, Hannah has been to more doctors appointments than most of us can comprehend. Since her condition puts her at risk for developing aneurysms and other conditions, it is paramount that she is monitored regularly. This includes getting an annual MRI scan and visits to the dentist to get dental implants because her teeth are very small. She’s also had her scoliosis corrected with two titanium rods implanted in her back. This is a lot to handle.

Her Family Was Everything

The outside world tried to alienate her, but fortunately, her family always made her feel loved and welcomed. The Kritzecks constantly boost Hannah’s confidence and shower her with positivity. At home, they even lowered all the lights switches and added stools to the kitchen and bathroom so she could reach the sinks and the counters, and feel normal. When her adopted mom Jackie had polycystic kidney disease and needed a kidney transplant, she decided she couldn’t stand by and watch her mother suffer.

Time To Return The Favor

Without her parents knowing, she booked an appointment to find out if she was a perfect match for a transplant. Although she was a match, the doctor was concerned and did not want her to go through with it. Hannah’s condition puts her at risk for a whole host of lethal conditions. As a result, she has to take medication and get check-ups weekly. But despite the risk, she knew what she wanted to do. Hannah’s adopted mom saved her life when nobody else wanted her. Now it was time to return the favor.

Small Stature, Big Dreams

Hannah knew she wanted to be a star from a young age. She started dancing when she was two, took up gymnastics when she was three. Dancing gives her joy and allows her to be who she wants to be in those moments. And despite the aches caused by her condition, she finds a way to overcome them to make her dreams come true.

A Triple Threat

She trained hard to be a dancer, a singer, and an actress. Her dance teacher, Ellie Walter, says that size doesn’t stop Hannah, and can freestyle just as well, if not better than her other dancers. This is so inspiring and shows, that with a little perseverance, and some hard work, you can truly make your dreams come true like Hannah has.

Hannah’s Advice

She said: “My advice to anyone living with the condition would be to never give up on your dream, and keep trying.” She spoke of her love for dance saying: “I love hip hop it keeps me strong and ballet calms me down”. It is so impressive that she has found a love for this and has gone with it and never let the fear or what people might say stop her.
