Woodford Folk Festival founders/directors Bill and Ingrid Hauritz are in need of assistance, says Bluesfest director Peter Noble.
He says, ‘Just days before Christmas 2022, their home burned down, leaving them without a place to stay’.
‘As they were trying to rebuild, they faced severe health issues while abroad. Bill suffered a stroke and multiple medical emergencies, while Ingrid is overwhelmed with the responsibility of managing everything.
‘They have always been givers, contributing so much to the arts and community. Now they need our support to cover medical expenses, temporary housing, and other costs’, said Noble.
The fundraiser is at https://gofund.me/29b9f6ea.
