My name is Emily, and I am hoping to raise funds for Blane Warner and his vivacious 11-year-old daughter, Bella, whose home caught fire on August 1st. Painters left stain-soaked rags within feet of their home and shed, which spontaneously combusted, causing them to lose their home and many of their belongings.

Anyone who knows Blane can attest to the fact that he is the most caring, giving, generous and hard-working individual who never asks for anything in return. Blane always has a positive attitude and easygoing manner about him, even throughout the stresses he's been enduring.

People also know Blane as an extraordinarily talented independent contractor who does beautiful remodels. Unfortunately, in addition to many personal items lost, nearly all of Blane’s tools were destroyed in the fire.

Blane and Bella have recently found a new place, however the cost of refurnishing their new home has added up quickly and Blane still needs to replace his tools so he can return to work.

As if the fire is not enough to deal with, Blane also went through treatment for throat cancer three years ago and was doing well. However, Blane found out this past spring that the cancer has returned, this time in his right lung. Blane will be undergoing lifetime immunotherapy and will be having a PET scan in a couple of weeks which will show how effective the immunotherapy is.

If you're able, please give to Blane and Bella to help ease their burdens. Thank you so much!!!
