Mcghee Sextuplets

0 comments
Mcghee Sextuplets, On the Oprah Show today, the McGhee Sextuplets are going to be featured. Mia and Rozonno McGhee are from Columbus,  Ohio, and are really struggling with the bills since they unexpectedly had six babies all at once. I can imagine! Last year Mrs. McGhee had twins, which sadly died, and doctors advised them to do Selective Reduction of these babies when they were discovered. They could not…and who can blame them! Now they need help. They have one bedroom. It looks like Oprah is going to give them some help! There is also a trust fund set up at Chase Bank for people who want to donate.

This year a request came from the McGhee family in Gahanna, Ohio who needed help in a new home. Mia and Rozonno McGhee became instant Columbus celebrities after the birth of their sextuplets in June of 2010. Friends, strangers, church members, and family have blessed the family, helping them with the never ending daily needs of six babies.

They estimate they are using around 40 diapers per day at this point. This means they need lots of supplies on hand. The initial assessment of the family’s organizing needs and budget for the project was done by Ellen Limes .

Five other organizers, Susan Sugar, Terry Cowans, Mary Donovan, Debbie McRae, and I, volunteered to help on a very chilly January day to build shelves and sort baby clothes and supplies in an over the garage storage area.

But it sure was worth it. The sextuplets — who were born this past June and are the first ever in Columbus, Ohio — and their parents were showered with gifts for their efforts. Oprah gave the couple a honeymoon and a gift card for Walmart.
