Help Allen Rebuild His Life After Devastating Fire

On February 6, 2025, my cousin Allen’s world was turned upside down when a devastating fire destroyed his apartment. Allen, a hard-working father of three, lived in a second-story apartment, and in the blink of an eye, he lost everything, to no fault of his own. In the morning, while he was at work, a fire started. Allen also lost his beloved dogs in the fire, a heartbreaking loss that has left him struggling to cope.

As many of you know, Allen is the kind of person who would do anything for anyone. He has helped me in so many ways when ever I've needed anything. In the drop of a dime he is always there to lend a helping hand, whether it’s for a friend, other family member, or neighbor. A humble and proud man, Allen would never ask for help, but right now, he needs it more than ever. Prayers are always welcomed.

This fire has wiped out his personal belongings, his home, and his sense of stability. As a father of three, he is doing everything he can to stay strong for his kids, but rebuilding his life will take time, and he simply can’t do it alone.

We’re asking for your support to help Allen get back on his feet. The funds raised will go toward:

• Temporary housing: Until he can find a permanent place to live

• Replacing essentials: Clothing, furniture, and everyday necessities

• Rebuilding his life: Medical (he had to pay 400 dollars, in order to have his dogs laid to rest after losing them) emotional, and financial support as he recovers from this tragedy

Any amount you can contribute will help. Even sharing this post with your friends and family can make a world of difference.

Allen has always given selflessly to others. Now it’s our turn to give help him rebuild his life and his future. Thank you for showing kindness and generosity during this incredibly difficult time.
