Campaign Story:

In the early hours of Sunday, June 15, 2025, a devastating house fire on East 121st Street in Cleveland, Ohio claimed the life of our beloved Andrew Allen, who was just 57 years old.

Andrew’s passing was sudden, heartbreaking, and has left his family and community in deep sorrow. While his wife Teresa Allen was not home at the time of the fire, she is now left mourning the loss of her husband, her home, and the life they shared.

Andrew was a devoted husband, loving father, and a cherished brother and friend. Though his children live in Jamaica, Andrew remained deeply connected to them—working hard every day to support them and stay present in their lives. He was known for his love of cars, his strong work ethic, and his charismatic spirit that uplifted everyone he met.

A staple in Cleveland’s Jamaican community, Andrew was more than just a neighbor—he was family to many. His presence, laughter, and heart will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for help in covering the unexpected funeral and burial costs, as well as supporting Teresa in navigating this tragic and life-altering loss. With no time to prepare, the family is facing both emotional and financial hardship.

Your donation will go directly towards:

- Funeral and memorial expenses

- Support for Teresa as she rebuilds her life

- Any related arrangements needed to honor Andrew’s memory with dignity and love

If you’re unable to donate financially, please consider supporting in other ways.

For additional information regarding this fundraiser, or to offer non-monetary donations (such as food, flowers, or support for the Celebration of Life), please reach out to the campaign organizer directly to obtain contact information for Teresa or Nicky.

Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean so much. If you’re unable to give at this time, we ask that you please share this campaign with others who may be able to help.

Let us come together as a community to show Teresa and the Allen family that they are not alone in this sorrow.

Thank you for your support, love, and prayers.

Rest peacefully, Andrew Allen. ️

Your memory lives on in every life you touched.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

— Revelation 21:4
