The John Martins Burn Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in memory of Rhode Island businessman, John Martins who was a kind, generous and charitable man admired by many because of his ethics. Martins believed that, with hard work and determination, dreams can become a reality. On September 4th, 2015, Martins was driving a heavy duty tow truck back from a job when he lost control of his vehicle, which plunged down an embankment and immediately burst into flames. Martins was airlifted to Rhode Island Hospital, and suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 85-90% of his body. Doctors did not expect he would survive more than 72 hours, but John Martins fought valiantly for his life for the next 23 days, at which time he succumbed to his injuries. Realizing that grief does not metamorphose into positive action but produces nothing but tears, his grief-stricken family created this non-profit organization in his honor, to benefit other burn victims.
