This is a special, unique opportunity to donate directly to family hard hit by the recent hurricane’s Helene and Milton. I created these lampwork glass poinsettias as a way to give back to someone who has had a great impact on my art, my brother.
He and his wife lost almost everything they owned when the water rose and they had to flee from the water surge with just a couple of storage bins, their kitty and a kayak in the middle of the night. They, like so many who live in Florida are the workers behind the scenes to make your vacation wonderful and memorable. So, please consider a purchase to help some folks who help people every day of the lives.
My heart breaks for everyone affected by weather related trauma everywhere. All sales go directly to my brother and his wife, because they need literally everything.
