Celine Dion Her Twins Plus the McGhee Sextuplets

The Oprah Winfrey Show Today: Celine Dion and Her Twins! Plus the McGhee Sextuplets


I am so excited for the Oprah Winfrey Show today…Celine Dion is going to be on with her twins! Celine Dion is one of my most favorite singers…I just love her voice and her music! I have seen photos of her babies, but now we actually get to see them on TV, which is way better. And Oprah is going to include a tour of her Florida home, which Oprah calls a fantasy land. This is one case where I don’t have much envy for Celine…I think she has earned every penny she has, and should spend it how she likes. She does a lot of charity work too though, which is good of her.

Also on the Oprah Show today, the McGhee Sextuplets are going to be featured. I don’t know that story very well…so I had to look it up. Mia and Rozonno McGhee are from 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.

McGhee Sextuplets Media attention has sparked donations

Update on the McGhee Sextuplets: Media attention has sparked donations


http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_full_width/hash/46/c3/update.jpgOn June 9, 2010, Rozonno McGhee and his wife Mia became became an instant family of eight when Mrs. McGhee gave birth to sextuplets. The six babies, born at 27 weeks gestation, have all gained considerable weight and have been home since September.

With mounting medical bills, diaper, formula and baby equipment expenses, the McGhees were not sure how to manage the financial impact of raising six children solely off the profits of Mr. McGhee's carpet cleaning business. After not receiving much initial help, they are now starting to get assistance from friends and strangers alike, and have moved into a larger house.

Rozonno, Mia and the children Rozonno Jr., Isaac, Josiah, Elijah, Madison and Olivia moved recently from their old two-bedroom house to a new two-story, four-bedroom home in a neighboring suburb. Now, the girls and boys have separate rooms and the McGhees have more room for the cribs, swings, highchairs, and other baby paraphernalia. Donations have also started coming in from friends and strangers alike, much to the relief of the the busy but happy family. A "friend of a friend" started a Facebook.com fan page for the McGhees that has over 11,000 "likes" since August, and has helped to spread the word about their plight.

Mrs. McGhee told the Columbus Post-Dispatch that the babies go through about 50 diapers and 30 bottles each day, therefore monetary help is still needed. From recent news accounts, including a segment on Good Morning America, the family is much appreciative of everything they have received thus far.

Anyone inclined to help can do so by donating money at any CHASE bank locaction to“The McGhee Trust Fund” or Rozonno and Mia McGhee, or via paypal.com to rozonno1@yahoo.com. Additional donations in the form of toys, food, diapers, etc can be sent to IMPACT Attention: Tracy Taylor, 700 Bryden Road, Columbus OH 43205.
