A 32-year-old Nigerian woman, Temitope Iwute, tragically passed away during childbirth in the United Kingdom. She had just completed her Master’s degree at York St John University.
The news of her death was shared by the official X account of the Community of Nigerians in the UK on Monday. Along with the announcement, a call for donations was made to support her newborn son and assist her family with her funeral expenses. The NIUK Community has also set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise the necessary funds.
The post read, “Dear NIUK Community, it is with heavy hearts that we reach out to support the family of Temitope Elizabeth Soneye Iwute, a vibrant 32-year-old who tragically passed away during childbirth, leaving behind her precious newborn son. Temitope had just completed her MSc at York St John University and was eagerly anticipating her future. We now ask for your help to honour her memory and ensure a secure future for her baby.
“Your contributions will help provide a proper farewell for Temitope and offer love and stability to her son. Every donation counts.”
As of now, the GoFundMe campaign has raised £3,785 of its £15,000 goal, with 157 donations, which accounts for 25% of the target.
In the GoFundMe description, organizer Mauren Elor wrote, “Imagine the joy of a mother-to-be, her heart full of love for the little life growing within her. Temitope Elizabeth Soneye Iwute, just 32 years young, radiated that joy. She was a woman whose warmth could melt the coldest heart, whose laughter could chase away any shadow. A devoted wife, a cherished daughter, a beloved sister, and a friend to all, Temitope had dreamed of motherhood, of cradling her child, singing lullabies, and sharing her boundless love. She had just completed her MSc at York St John University and was looking forward to her convocation ceremony.
“But fate, in its cruellest twist, had other plans. Temitope tragically passed away during childbirth at Croydon University Hospital in London, leaving behind a precious newborn son and a world in mourning. This little boy will never know the tender touch of his mother, the soothing sound of her voice, or the unwavering strength of her love. He will grow up without the woman who adored him even before he was born.”
Elor further emphasized the importance of celebrating Temitope’s life and kindness, writing, “Your generosity will help us provide for her son, embracing him with the love and care his mother would have shown him. It will ensure he has a safe, stable home, access to education, and the opportunity to grow into the wonderful man his mother always envisioned.
“Every donation, no matter how small, is a testament to the power of love and a promise to this child that he won’t face life alone. Please, open your hearts and join us in honouring Temitope’s memory, offering hope and a bright future for her precious child.
“Donate today and share this campaign. Let’s surround her son with love and show him that, even in the darkest moments, compassion and kindness can shine through.”
