Hannah's Story

Hannah's life defied expectations from the very beginning.

Hannah was born with a rare congenital condition and was not expected to live past her first birthday. Her condition demanded constant care and vigilant monitoring, which parents Jacky and Martin faithfully provided at home. Tragically, in 2010, Hannah passed away at the age of 19.

Families like Hannah's often find themselves challenged with the continuous and daunting set of physical, emotional, and financial challenges, as they dedicate themselves to round-the-clock care for their children. This level of caregiving can lead to exhaustion, social isolation, compromised mental health, and a significant decline in overall well-being, affecting not only the parents but also their other children.

Hannah's mum and dad Martin and Jacky founded 'Hannah's House' to offer unwavering support to children, from birth to 18 years, who have been diagnosed with life-limiting or complex conditions, as well as their families.

We are dedicated to ensuring families receive the support they need, when they need it.

Your effort can make a big impact

It is only through the kind generosity of people like you, our corporate donors, that we can continue to provide support free-of-charge to children and families when they need us most.

Many of us experience the joy of children in our lives, but for families with children diagnosed with a life-limiting condition or complex care needs, the ongoing challenges can often overwhelm those feelings as they simply try and cope with the complexities they face.

Hannah’s House provides vital respite, support and relief for families who are experiencing significant emotional, physical, financial or social hardship as a result of caring for a child with these complex needs and conditions
