Our dear friend and sister Lisa Martin was tragically killed on October 8th, 2025 when she was struck by a car while riding her bike on her usual weeknight bike ride.
Lisa was a devoted mother of a daughter named Mary Julia (MJ) and a son Alex. Her passion for life and caring for her children was unmatched.
Lisa’s son Alex is an 11th grader at Poolesville High School who is now worried about basic things like obtaining a drivers license, getting to his orthodontic appointments to get his braces removed, lunch money, and so many other things he relied on his mom for.
Lisa’s daughter MJ is studying communications (just like her mom) at the University of Maryland College Park. She relied on Lisa for off-campus housing expenses, food, car insurance, and numerous other things that a college student needs to be successful.
Please consider making a donation to support MJ and Alex’s basic needs like school and housing for the next year.
Lisa was so loved by so many and will be missed by all. Thank you for your help and generosity.
