Honor Your Loved Ones with the Gift of Hope and Research ❤️

The image is a collage consisting of three sections: the top left features a pair of hands gently holding a piece of paper with the word "HOPE" printed on it. The top right section shows an envelope sealed with a wax stamp, placed amidst the branches of a tree, with soft, warm lights. The bottom section presents a blurred background with golden bokeh lights against a neutral backdrop.

We understand that traditional holiday gatherings aren’t always possible for many in our community. But there is a meaningful way to show your love and support from wherever you are. 

By making a tribute gift to OMF, you can honor someone special in your life who has been affected by ME/CFS or Long COVID while bringing hope to countless lives touched by our research. Your thoughtful gift will celebrate their strength and support critical research toward better understanding and treatments.

  1. Click on “Make a Tribute Gift.”
  2. Select the option to “Dedicate this donation” and include the honoree’s name.
  3. In the comments section, let us know who we should notify about your tribute.

Your tribute gift today will advance the most critical research in 2025. Thank you for being part of our global effort to bring hope and health to millions.
