The Madeleine Gordon Gift of Life Foundation was established to help couples with infertility.

The foundation defrays the costs associated with in vitro fertilization procedures for couples who demonstrate a financial need and a medical necessity.  It is operated in partnership with UC Health, under the auspices of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, and the Institute for Reproductive Health.

85 babies have been born with seven more in the pipeline.  The first Gift of Life child graduated college with a dual major in French and Chemical Engineering. Our fifth baby is having a baby!  It is Mady’s dream that more couples will benefit from the foundation’s help each year.

‘I never thought I’d feel joy like that.’ Mady Gordon’s legacy of life

The guests range in age from 9 weeks to 26 years. As dozens of them arrive, Madeleine Gordon – her friends know her as Mady – greets each with a heartfelt welcome.

To a little girl: “Hi sweetheart.”

To a teenage boy: “You’ve gotten really tall!”

To the parents of an infant: “Isn’t she beautiful.”

To practically everyone: “I’m so glad you are here!”

It is a Sunday in August, and Gordon is indeed glad families have accepted her invitation to gather at the Transept in Over-the-Rhine for photographs and an ice cream social. But what especially gladdens her heart is that the guests of honor are here – alive in this world.

Without Mady Gordon, 88 people might not be here at all.
