About Nora’s Home

In 1998, Doctors Osama and Lillian Gaber established Nora’s Gift Foundation in memory of their daughter Nora, who lost her life in a tragic automobile accident at the age of seven. Nora’s legacy did not end with her death. Her organ donations helped several critically ill children and fueled the creation of Nora’s Home, an enduring gift to those in need.

In honor of Nora, whose life was characterized by her compassion and concern for others, Nora’s Home aims to improve the outcome and quality of life for patients suffering end-stage organ failure, individuals undergoing transplantation, and these patients’ families, thus aligning with Nora’s Gift Foundation’s central intentions to:

• Promote understanding of end-stage organ failure and its treatment options, including organ transplantation
• Promote innovative research in the field of organ failure and transplantation
• Develop and provide charitable research, educational support, and medical services for patients and their families in need
• Support organizations dedicated to treating individuals with organ failure, linking medical, allied health, social and academic organizations actively supporting patients.
