Through their work with Healing the Children, the Eagans have welcomed children from around the world into their home—children who travel to the United States to receive critical medical care that may not be available in their home countries.

According to coverage of their efforts, Marty and Susan have served as host parents, providing not only housing and transportation, but also something far more important: a safe, supportive, and loving environment during a vulnerable time.

These children often arrive without their families, facing uncertainty and fear. The Eagans step in as temporary guardians, offering comfort, stability, and encouragement every step of the way.


A Passion That Runs Deep

Susan Eagan’s passion for helping others has deep roots. Her early experiences in service—including time spent helping communities abroad—helped shape a lifelong commitment to making a difference.

Together, Marty and Susan have turned that passion into action. Their involvement with Healing the Children is not about recognition or reward—it’s about doing what is right and making a tangible difference in a child’s life.

Notably, families like the Eagans receive no financial compensation for their role. Their contributions are driven purely by compassion, generosity, and a belief in the importance of giving back.


More Than a Temporary Stay

For the children they host, the Eagan home becomes more than just a place to stay—it becomes a place of belonging.

From everyday routines to moments of joy and recovery, these children are treated as part of the family. The impact goes far beyond medical treatment; it’s about emotional support, reassurance, and the creation of meaningful connections that last long after the child returns home.

This level of care reflects the core values that also define Martin “Marty” Eagan in his professional life: integrity, compassion, and a commitment to helping others navigate challenging moments with confidence and support.


Leading by Example

The work of Marty and Susan Eagan serves as a powerful reminder that success is not measured solely by professional achievements, but by the lives we touch along the way.

Their dedication to Healing the Children highlights a broader message—one that resonates both personally and professionally:

  • Compassion matters
  • Community matters
  • Giving back matters

For those who know Marty Eagan as an attorney, this same mindset carries into his work—where helping people, guiding them through important decisions, and making a positive impact remain at the forefront.


A Lasting Impact

The ripple effect of the Eagans’ generosity extends far beyond a single child or a single moment. It inspires others, strengthens communities, and reinforces the idea that meaningful change often begins at home.

Through their ongoing support of the Healing the Children Foundation, Marty and Susan Eagan continue to demonstrate that even in today’s fast-paced world, there is always time to care, to give, and to make a difference.

And in doing so, they remind us all that true success is measured not just by what we achieve—but by how we help others along the way.
