Oprah gives parents of sextuplets $250,000
It was a picture that said a thousand words, and one woman believed it was worth several hundred thousand. Oprah Winfrey on Tuesday last gave the McGhee family and their miracle sextuplets $250,000 credit at Walmart as well as a honeymoon in Las Vegas – despite the fact the couple got married 11 years ago. Rozonno and Mia McGhee and their sextuplets – Olivia, Madison, Rozonno Jr, Josiah, Elijah and Isaac – appeared on the show Tuesday after they became an Internet sensation when Mia posted a family photo on her Facebook page.
As well as millions of other people all over the world, it attracted the attention of Oprah who thought: “I love that picture, I have to meet them.” The McGhees are the first in Columbus to have sextuplets and they said their case was very different from so-called Octomom Nadya Suleman. Suleman was overwhelmed with financial help after her story of eight miracle babies was publicised. But for the McGhees, very few people came forward to give them the financial help they needed. On the show, the couple told the chat-show queen how difficult and expensive it is raising the six babies and revealed they go through 50 diapers and 30 bottles a day.
