Temitope Elizabeth Soneye Iwute, a 32-year-old Nigerian woman, tragically passed away during childbirth at Croydon University Hospital, London.
She had recently completed her Master’s degree at York St. John University and was eagerly anticipating her future before her untimely d+ath.
The Nigerians in the UK Community (NIUK Community) announced her passing and launched a GoFundMe campaign to support her newborn son and cover funeral expenses.
“Temitope was vibrant and full of life, looking forward to her journey as a mother,” the community shared. “Her d+ath is a devastating loss to her family, friends, and the community.” The funds raised will ensure her proper burial and provide support for her baby’s future.
Maureen Elor, coordinating the fundraising effort, described Temitope as a loving wife, devoted daughter, and cherished sister whose warmth and laughter touched many lives. “She dreamed of motherhood and of cradling her child,” Elor wrote. “Now, her son will grow up without the tender touch of the mother who cherished him before he even took his first breath.”
Elor appealed to Nigerians, especially those in the UK, for contributions to honor Temitope’s memory and provide care for her baby. “Your generosity will help us give her the farewell she deserves and offer her son the love, stability, and opportunities she dreamed of for him.”
This tragedy has left the community heartbroken, as they await autopsy results and rally to support the family during this difficult time.
