"Don't shine so others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him." C.S. Lewis
Thank you for visiting Elora J Khan Foundation, a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit. In 2023, Elora Joyce Khan, a witty, beautiful, vivacious, and loving 7-year-old & a student at St. Anastasia School, went to be in heaven, seven months after diagnosis of DIPG - a rare, incurable brainstem tumor. DIPG is short for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. It is a highly aggressive and difficult to treat pediatric brain tumor.
As her name proclaims, EL ORA - Light of God impacted people wherever she went. Even now, the witness of her life continues to shine brightly. Elora’s mission was to share the love of Jesus with as many people as she could & for them to know God's love through her generosity, spreading joy & being a miracle in someone else's life. She called these interactions "God moments." In continuing her mission, the foundation funds efforts ranging from supporting orphanages, children battling brain cancer, educational scholarships, to programs helping children learn about God.

One of the Elora-inspired initiatives the foundation is currently engaging with is a Christian orphanage in Pakistan called "Elora's Way Home of Hope". God led us to a two-bed, one-bathroom orphanage in Lahore, Pakistan on the brink of closure. With swift action, we purchased the building, ensuring the thirty-five children residing there would not be displaced. Now named Elora's Way Home of Hope, provides essential care, education, and a nurturing environment steeped in Christian values. Additionally, we funded critical renovations, adding two additional bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study space, a proper dining room, an office, and a play area for the kids. Your support provides a safe home, nutritious warm meals, and the joys of childhood.
The Foundation has partnered with a couple who serves as pastors in their community. This partnership has been incredible in efficiently & diligently managing Elora's Way Home of Hope.
In honor of Elora, we have partnered with and become a board member of DIPG/DMG Research Funding Alliance, dedicated to raising funds for research on DIPG - an inoperable brainstem cancer which fatal upon diagnosis at the moment. It is considered the deadliest type of cancer in existence. 600 children each year are handed a death sentence. The Pediatric cancer is severely underfunded, with kids getting less than 4% of the allotted amount of government money for cancer research. DIPG gets even less. With no funding, there will be no cure. With no awareness, there will be no funding.
Through this collaboration, we aim to support critical lifesaving research efforts for children who deserve to live wholesome lives. Additionally, we have teamed up with Live Brave 2gether, to provide financial assistance for families during and after their DIPG/DMG diagnosis.
