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.
At Femi's Heart Foundation, we aim to honor the life of Femi by providing care and support for school children, healthcare workers, orphans, and underrepresented youth and families in our community and beyond.
Founded in 2020, Femi's Heart Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming lives through healthcare access and educational empowerment for underserved communities locally and globally. We focus on providing necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare.
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 committed to our mission and the communities we serve.
We conduct annual blood drives, medical missions, CPR training, and are working to establish a pediatric heart center to improve healthcare access locally and in Benin, West Africa.
We distribute gift baskets, meals, and bicycles; offer mental health awareness programs; and partnerswith other organizations to support vulnerable families and children.
We provide scholarships, school supplies, tutoring, vocational training, and mentorship to underserved youth and orphans to promote academic and life success.
We build infrastructure like the HOPE Center in Benin to equip youth with practical skills, while advocating for marginalized groups and creating long-term pathways out of poverty and exploitation.
