Health. Hope. Love
Together, We Save Lives. Together, We Give Hope.
Everyone who met Femi was captivated by her sweet and vivacious personality. Diagnosed with congenital heart disease at the age of nine, Femi faced her challenges with courage while awaiting a new heart. During her hospitalization, she received over six packs of blood. After her surgery, Femi recognized the importance of blood donation firsthand and expressed her desire to donate her own blood to help another patient at the children's hospital.
A year following her successful heart transplant at Omaha Children's Hospital, where Femi received exceptional care, we partnered with the Red Cross to organize the inaugural annual blood drive as a way to give back. In recognition of her inspiring journey, Femi was named Children's Ambassador by Omaha Children's Hospital in 2015-2016 and featured in organ donation news and various platforms.
Tragically, five years after her transplant, Femi’s heart failed on August 26, 2019. On the anniversary of her passing, the Olouwafemi S. J. Tevoedjre Foundation, Inc. (Femi's Heart Foundation) was established to honor and continue her legacy.
Femi’s Heart Foundation exists to honor Femi’s memory by advancing holistic health. Through our life-saving blood drives, international mental-health advocacy, and Siblings Support Program initiatives, we uplift underserved communities locally and globally with compassion, healing, and empowerment. Rooted in Christian values, we extend love and hope to all—regardless of culture, religion, nationality, race, or gender.
Founded on August 26, 2020, Femi’s Heart Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming lives through healthcare access, mental-health awareness, and educational empowerment for underserved communities locally and globally.
Our team is made up of dedicated individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the world. From our volunteers to our board members, everyone at Femi's Heart Foundation is united in purpose, committed to our mission, and the communities we serve.

Together with our partner Red Cross, we conduct annual blood drives.

Our Siblings Care Initiative Program supports the brothers and sisters of children facing medical challenges, providing emotional care, holistic support, and resources to help them navigate difficult seasons with strength and hope.
We also distribute gift baskets, meals; and partners with other organizations to support vulnerable families and children.

We are committed to promoting mental health awareness and overall well-being in the communities we serve. Through education, open conversations, and support resources, we work to break the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage individuals to seek help without fear or shame.

We conduct annual blood drives, and are working to establish a pediatric heart center to improve healthcare access in Benin, West Africa.

Our annual medical mission to Africa provides free health screenings, medication distribution, and essential hygiene products to children and families. We also deliver health education and preventive care resources to strengthen long-term wellness in underserved communities.

Our ReuniteHer to Her Newborn Initiative supports mothers in Benin who give birth by C-section but are unable to pay their medical bills. Many of these women face incarceration and heartbreaking separation from their newborns over fees as little as $50.
