(00:28):
and the doctor are amazing. So IVF Michigan, Ohio Fertility Centers.
If you want to know how to enter this, or
if you're somebody that has I guess a family member,
and this is such a touchy thing because a lot
of times I've had a couple of calls from people going,
my daughter and my son in law are trying to
have a baby, and I don't know how to approach
them to tell them about this contest. And I said,
(00:50):
you know what, Honestly, if they're struggling and they they're
you know, coming up on they've been having some issues
and they want to go see a good, a great doctor,
and this is an opportunity to win it, I would
share them our posts from on Instagram, say hey, did
you hear about this contest that these guys are doing.
Go check it out. Mojo gives you a baby, Instagram,
Facebook and you can go to Mojo on the Morning
(01:12):
dot com to enter this thing, and it's really easy
to enter. We're not looking for somebody that is, you know,
a I don't know a professional writer to write in
an email. Speak from your heart and just tell us
what's been the struggles, and doctor Shama may be able
to pick you to be our One of our three winners.
On the phone with us right now is Michelle. Just
(01:33):
to give you an example of this, she was somebody
who entered Mojo gives you a baby. Was it five
years ago, Michelle? Or how long ago was it?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh my god, we won seven years ago. Years ago.
Insane to think about, Mojo. Our babies are turning six
this summer.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh my gosh, thank you. This is this is this
is the mother of my babies. My baby's aid In
and Amelia, our twins. Right, that's incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yes, I'm a Mojo mama, a very proud mama. I
told them that I was going to be on the
radio this morning. I said, what do you want me
to say? And Amelia said, just tell them that your
kids are really great. I can do that.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, that was her story that you had shared about
about your your road to IVF.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
So my husband and I had tried for years. I
think when we won, we had been trying for about
six years. I was a manny he he at the
time was a middle school teacher. He now got his
master's and works with kids on the spectrum. And we
had tried everything shy of IVF, and we'd had multiple
(02:46):
losses and we really just kind of submerged our lives
into being the best aunts and uncles that we could be.
But it was what we wanted more than anything, and
you guys and doctor Shama made it happen. It's something
that I think about every single day for the past
seven years, and I can't believe that this is my life.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Michelle. I will never forget whenever we've came up with
the idea, let's try to do this contest, and we
went to doctor Shama and talked to him about this.
I will never forget the scrutiny that we got because
we had billboards up around town that were basically were
would you like to win Radio DJ Mojo's baby and
(03:30):
win a baby?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
And all stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
People are people all know, they don't read, you know,
they look at the sensationalism of things instead of looking
at the sensation of things. And they people were protesting
all this stuff. Doctor Shama stood strong and now it's
become a fixture in Grand Rapids, Detroit and Toledo. And
to know that you have these two beautiful babies and
(03:52):
that they now can listen to Mojo in the morning,
I hope they don't. Do they ever listen to the show?
And do you ever say that's your father? You're great?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I let them know. I say there's Uncle Mojo, so
they know you guys. They think that it's really cool.
We try to be really humble about it. I don't try.
I mean, it's something that we're extremely proud of, but
we don't tell people, like a ton of people just
because you have no idea what other people are going through.
(04:22):
But doctor Shama is an absolute angel. We call him
our earth angel. He he is so invested and every
single time, every year the contest comes around, I get
so excited for the people that are about to win
because they have no idea the gift that they're about
to be given.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I use the word invested by the way to describe
doctor Shama, because I always say passionate, He's really passionate,
but he is. He becomes invested in every single family
that he essentially becomes a part of through this process.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
He is And the office is amazing, the office to
they're right there with you. It's it's the most amazing experience.
I've never seen God work the way that he did
for my babies to be a reality. And it's not
anything that we take for granted. And I pray that
everyone that enters this contest gets the family that they
(05:19):
dream of.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So we moved this contest from being a contest that
we started doing I think in February and then we
would pick the winner in March at the end of March.
Somehow I think we did it as like March Madness
or baby. But then we moved it because we thought,
wouldn't it be more appropriate that we announced the winner
around Mother's Day? Like we thought that that was a beautiful,
you know, touch to this whole thing. Michelle. It's pretty
(05:42):
cool to be a mom, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's the best thing in the world. I love every
single minute of it. Like last year eight and wanted
to try soccer and we said okay, so we signed
them up. They needed a soccer coach, so my husband
Brian signed up to be the soccer coach. Like we
can be the cheerleaders. And it's like, oh my gosh,
it's such a crowd little soccer mom. Everything that they
do is just amazing. Being able to see the world
(06:06):
through their eyes is the coolest things. It's the best gift.
It's crazy. Well, I can't thank you guys enough for
everything that you do. And I hope you guys understand
that you're changing huge live like you're changing everyone you know,
everyone that's touched by us.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So well, we love this contest. It's cool. It's gonna
be neat next week. We're going to give away a
car to somebody that really probably needs it. Right We're
also giving away a baby too, so get your entries
in right now. But I think of all the prizes
that we give away, and out of all the prizes
that we give away, each one of those, in some way,
shape or form, helps somebody's life get better. This one's
(06:44):
pretty down and cool that two babies came out of this.
So Mojo gives you a baby again. Last week of
entering this, so you got this weekend to do your
thing and then send it in next week. Michelle, thanks
for sharing with us. That story is such a great one.
Talk to you forever.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We love you so much. And Megan, even though you're leaving,
you will forever be a part of our family.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And she hates babies though, Michelle, Oh, you want to
know something that's a lie. That is a lie.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I hated that baby. When the mom was crying in
the bathroom because it was her first night away and
she just needed her girls to take her out and
have fluck for the night. That's where the chance started.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I don't know if.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Everybody knows that story them babies.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I've done.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Babies started from a girl crying in the bathroom. She
had just had her first child and it was her
first night out with her girlfriends since having her kid,
and she wanted to go home. And we started chanting
after that baby so she could stay out with her
friends and have a girl story.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And you probably know that feeling, Michelle, Right, don't you
when you need time away?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, yeah, sometimes you have to. I mean, no matter
what you're doing, you have to have your own.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Your own time have a great weekend. We'll talk to them.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
