Method Illuminate\Support\Collection::offset does not exist

Hi i'm trying to paginate my view and i have this following code in my controller for the pagination:

  $itemsPerPage = 8 ;
    $currentPage  = isset( $_GET['page'] ) && is_numeric( $_GET['page'] ) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
    $urlPattern   = '/profilecontroller/membrevis?page=(:num)';
    $totalItems   = $users->count();
    $donner   = $users->offset( ( $currentPage - 1 ) * $itemsPerPage )->limit( $itemsPerPage )->get();
    $paginator = new  Paginator( $totalItems, $itemsPerPage, $currentPage, $urlPattern );

return view('membre2',['users'=> $donner,'paginator'=> $paginator]);

My view membre2.blade.php has the following code as well for pagination:

  <form>
 ....
  </form>
 <table>
@foreach($users as $row)
....
@endforeach
 </table>
echo $paginator;

But i' still get this error Method Illuminate\Support\Collection::offset does not exist. knowing i already installed "jasongrimes/paginator:~1.0" by CMD

any help would be appreciated!
