Hey there! I’m CJ!

I have been a long time user of Martin House. They have supported me since I was 4 years old. I am now 26, and without their support, who knows where I’d be. They truly made every stay feel like a life-changing holiday, and it always felt like home. Without their help, my family and I would be lost. It truly is a shame that my visits are now coming to an end. But every end is a new beginning, and with my visits ending, another young person can get to experience their unconditional love and care like I did.

Your support could help make their experience even better than mine!

Your donations continue to help and improve the experiences and support that Martin House can provide to all their young people. Which brings me to why I am doing this commemorative tattoo!

In memory of all the fun I had with my time here, and all the love and support I received, I would love nothing more than to give back and pass forward. This commemorative tattoo is my unique way of showing the world how impactful Martin House has been on my life. Every penny can help me give the next generation of Martin House users a life of unimaginable happy memories.

From boat rides to shopping sprees. Cinema trips and music festivals. Even meeting Santa! The memories Martin House creates for young people are magical. The experiences they give us allow us to stop feeling different, and just feel human. Something that is severely lacking and overlooked in this world for people like us…

The efforts and work of Martin House are unmatched. It isn’t just a hospice, Martin House is a home away from home.

It has been a life-long dream of mine to give back as a thank you for everything they ever did for me, and you can help me with that. Please help me change the lives of the next generation of Martin House users, in ways they could never imagine.

Thank you ❤️
