We wanted to set up this crowd funder to show our support for Sammy and her family. I'm sure there are costs involved at this sad time and we hope this helps a little towards that.
From Olivia Post -
"I first met Donnie and Sammy at a BAG event (Balloon artist guild), they had set off early from Glasgow (4 am) to make it in time, that dedication was our first glimpse into their dedication and energy to the then new business that were setting up together: “Rainbow twisters”.
Since that first day it has been amazing to see their business grow, flourish and push boundaries in the world of balloons and children’s entertainment world.
Donnie’s skill and artistry with balloons was obvious from the start and quickly recognised in the industry, he won several twisting awards and was truly innovative in the way that he designed and worked with balloons particularly in some of his larger sculptures.
Our community has been rocked by the sad news that Donnie has passed away. We are devastated to lose such a talented artist at such a young age, and our heartfelt condolences go out to Sammy. We could all see how close you both were. We all wanted to offer our support to you in a small way and hope that this fund will provide some comfort and help."
