Tell Your Story

Your story can make a difference.
Were you a patient at the Mater Hospital who experienced the remarkable care of our dedicated staff? Or are you a friend or family member who was supported while a loved one was ill? If so, we would love to hear from you.
At the Mater Hospital Foundation, we share stories of patients, families, and loved ones who have benefited from the skill and compassion of hospital staff. Every day, they save and change lives.
By sharing these stories in our fundraising campaigns, on social media, and on our website, we highlight the real, human impact of the care provided at the Mater Hospital.
In the past, we have shared the stories of heart and lung transplant patients whose lives were restored. We have also told the experiences of people who have undergone cancer treatment, and the families who attended the Family Heart Screening Clinic for life-saving cardiac testing.
If you would like to tell us your story, please fill out the form below. You can also call us on (01) 830 3482 or email communications@materfoundation.ie. We won’t share your story until you give your explicit written consent for how and where it will be told. We can’t wait to hear from you!
