Why Your Support Matters

At Gift of Life Howie’s House, families find more than a place to stay during transplant. They find warmth, kindness, and a community that understands the journey they’re on. For many, this support is a lifeline — easing financial strain, lifting emotional burdens, and making it possible to focus on healing.

Further Your Impact

More families than ever relied on the House in 2024, and your generosity makes it possible to provide a safe, caring place to turn – something we can only do together, with the support of our community. As Nicole shares, “Unless you’ve gone through it you wouldn’t understand, but please take my word for it: the support provided by the House is a financial lifesaver.”

That feeling of being seen, supported and safe is what makes a house a home


Something really beautiful is that my mom cultivated a family here while I was in the hospital, so when I got discharged, I came back to this welcoming committee of people that knew about me and cared.

3 Night Stay

The Adopt-A-Family Program helps offset the true cost of operating the House, allowing us to keep our nightly fee low. It also fully covers stays for families who cannot afford to pay $40 per night, ensuring that no family is ever turned away due to financial constraints.

Transport our Guests

The House supports guest transportation through our Shuttle Service, which provides rides to and from six local transplant centers throughout the Philadelphia area. When shuttle service is unavailable, the House subsidizes the cost of Uber and taxi rides to ensure guests can access the care they need.
