No-Core Gamow Shell Model (NCGSM) is applied for the first time to study selected well-bound and unbound states of helium isotopes. This model is formulated on the complex energy plane and, by using a complete Berggren ensemble, treats bound, resonant, and scattering states on equal footing. We use the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method to solve the many-body Schr\"{o}dinger equation. To test the validity of our approach, we benchmarked the NCGSM results against Faddeev and Faddeev-Yakubovsky exact calculations for \(^3\)H and \(^4\)He nuclei. We also performed {\textit ab initio} NCGSM calculations for the unstable nucleus \(^5\)He and determined the ground state energy and decay width, starting from a realistic N\(^3\)LO chiral interaction.
