Due to the nature of the transplant process, a referral is not a reservation and we cannot guarantee a room to a family prior to their requested arrival date. Because of the unpredictability of the transplant process and the length of time families may need to stay with us, room availability changes on a daily basis. We are regrettably unable to accommodate all of the referrals we receive. Once a room is requested, a member of the Gift of Life Howie's House team will contact you within 24 hours of your request to discuss eligibility and room availability. This is not a room confirmation. The Gift of Life Howie's House team will then contact you the day before your request to review our Illness Policy and ensure the request is still needed, and then contact you again the day of your requested check-in between 11am and 12pm to inform you about room availability.
Complete the form below or call (267) 546-9800 to placed a request with a staff member. You may also email with any non-urgent questions.
