It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Damilola Balogun on the 1st of January 2026 ๐ข
Damilola was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and the main applicant for her family on skilled worker visa.
Just five months ago, she welcomed her beautiful baby into the world. What should have been a time of joy soon turned into a painful and tragic journey no family should endure.
It all started when Damilola began complaining of severe migraines. She visited Walsall Manor Hospital, where she was treated and discharged. Three days later, she returned with the same symptoms, but no cause was found and she was sent home again. Two weeks later, the headaches persisted, and this time she was admitted. Doctors administered antibiotics and carried out an MRI scan and a lumbar puncture.
The results revealed water on her brain, and Damilola was urgently referred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, for surgery. The surgery was initially successful, and there was hope.
Tragically, three days later, Damilola went into a coma and was placed on life support. Despite all medical efforts and prayers, it was confirmed that she could not recover. On the morning of 1st January 2026, the life support machine was switched off.
While others were welcoming the first day of a new year in celebration, this family was plunged into unbearable grief.
Damilola leaves behind three children aged 11 years, 10 years, and a 5month old baby, her husband, her mother and grandmother.
Since this ordeal began, her husband has been unable to work, staying by her side throughout hospital admissions and recovery attempts. Their savings have been completely exhausted, and the family is now facing funeral costs and the immense responsibility of raising three children without their mother.
We are humbly asking for your support; no amount is too small. Your donation will help:
โขCover funeral and burial expenses
โขProvide immediate support for her children
โขEase the financial burden on the grieving family
Please consider donating and sharing this page. Let us come together to show this family that they are not alone during their darkest moment.
Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and generosity. ๐

I donโt mean to sound like your mom but the lack of routine and discipline in life, waking up without purpose, being idle and spending too much time on the bed with your phone will lead to terrible mental health. Thatโs a given.
Weโre witnessing human trafficking on a national scale but theyโre women so who cares? Plus the fact that marriage wouldโve been the last thing to cross their mind if it was a bunch of male orphans is proof of how little we value women and girls. A damn shame!
I love it when older Nigerian women pursue their dreams. She often DJs in her lace wrapper, blouse and gele and she has a lot of fun doing it. More of this please
