Dear Alex
Some changes definitely needed:
Quibus mihi vita dederunt.
--> Eis qui vitam mihi dederunt.

| | vita m
No attraction of the relative pronoun allowed and no omission of the antecedant pronoun?
It's so common that I started to think that it's a firm rule.

| | Not this time, dear Alex. I'm sorry.
I'll try to show you when you could use the grammatical attraction. Compare the sentence with the following one:
"Eis quibus vitam meam dedi" or simply: "Quibus vitam meam dedi".
"eis" and "quibus" = the same case (dative). That's why the attraction is possible here, but not in your sentence.  |
