Support for the family of Tom Basista

Hi all,

I've set up this page to raise funds for my friend Cicelia Deane and the young family of Tom Basista. These funds will go towards funeral costs, memorials for Tommy as well as helping out with family costs for his young children so please donate whatever you can.

It is with heavy hearts that we come together to remember and honour the life of Tom Basista aka Tommy B. Tommy's sudden passing is no doubt devastating to everyone who ever knew him and those that only knew him in passing (such is the way when you have such an incredible impact on people).

Tommy was an extremely influential and powerful beam of light in everyones life, the world truly is a better place because of him. He helped troubled kids in very volitile areas with music workshops teaching them to be better humans - where others had failed them.

Tommy was warmth, kindness, and generosity. Many of us knew him as an incredible MC, effortlessly weaving together moments of joy and laughter at various events. His talent to bring people together with his words was unmatched.

Beyond all his incredible accolades and generally just being the soundest guy you've ever met - Tommy also has a beautiful family. If we can give back 1% of what Tommy gave us, we know that the support would mean the world to his family at this difficult time.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact.

Thank you for your support. Please share this campaign with your networks to help us reach as many people as possible.

Thank you all for your generosity, the funds will go directly to Cicelia and the her family.

Love to all of you,

Rufus Pinkerton
