TMO To Help 40 Families Have Babies

Veteran TVC presenter and CEO of Reb360, a real estate company in Lagos, Tope Mark-Odigie, popularly known as TMO, has taken on the task of helping 40 families achieve their dream of having their babies through IVF funding.

According to her story, her parents struggled with childbearing before they had her, and the only reason they could not have more children was that they could not afford IVF.

Compassionate and empathetic towards families with a similar situation, especially those who have waited for at least five years without a child, TMO has decided to partner with willing sponsors to fund the IVF of 40 families who cannot have babies organically.

Over the past five years, TMO has volunteered and partnered with Quiverfull, a reputable registered foundation in Lagos, to fund successful IVF procedures; two years ago, her company, Reb360, joined her to fund the same project. This year, she is soliciting at least 39 more people to join her to fund the IVF of 40 families.

When asked what motivated her to carry out this humongous act of love, Tope Mark-Odigie said, “As an only child, I know how tough it is to be an only child. But what was worse was observing my parents‘ hopes of having another child dashed many times until they passed the age of childbearing.

“Thank God they have me! However, many other families do not have a single child of consolation like my parents do. This is why, to commemorate my 40th birthday, my greatest desire is to help 40 families achieve their dream of having a baby through IVF funding.

“Currently, the average cost of an IVF is between N5,000,000 and N6,000,000, if no additional surgery complications exist. This is why I need all the support I can get from individuals, organisations and reputable IVF clinics willing to partner with me to put a smile on the faces of the 40 families selected from the 1,000+ families who have shared their touching stories.

“Over the past five years, I have volunteered for and partnered with Quiverfull, a reputable IVF foundation, to fund successful IVF procedures. So, I am soliciting more people to join me on this journey to raise sufficient funds to do the same for 40 unique families. I am also calling other IVF clinics to partner with us to achieve this feat.”
