<div><strong>Help local Photographer Blaine Owens keep his home. </strong>
</div>
<div>For many years, Blaine Owens Of Greenville, South Carolina, has been known for his photography and his determination to make an honest living doing what he loves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Blaine began his career in the film processing industry, working in a field that eventually became obsolete as technology changed. Rather than give up, he adapted. He turned his passion for photography into a career, spending years, capturing beautiful images of Greenville and surrounding areas, and selling his work to support himself through hard work, perseverance, and self-reliance, Blaine built a life around doing what he loves
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, at 70 years old, Blaine is facing a challenge he cannot overcome alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The home he has worked hard to maintain for many years has reached a point where significant repairs are needed, including Critical electrical, plumbing and other repairs. Unfortunately, the costs had become more than Blaine can afford on his income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Blaine’s homeowners insurance and mortgage holder have informed him that these repairs must be completed ASAP. Without them, he risks losing his homeowners insurance coverage, and his mortgage could be called due in full. He is at risk of losing his home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyone who knows Blaine knows that asking for help does not come naturally to him. He is always taken pride and being an independent and handling life‘s challenges on his own, but sometimes even the hardest working people need a helping hand.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are creating this GoFundMe to help Blaine make the necessary repairs to his home so that he can remain safe, maintain his insurance coverage and keep the Home he has spent years living in.
