Stand with Dan: A Call for Compassion

Our dearest Dan Lauterbur, whom you might know from cart rides up the hill, or to your stage, or from his encouraging words and radiant spirit, now needs our help.

He experienced a serious medical event during faerie fest this year that not only caused disabling physical pain, but has made it impossible to eat until healing takes place. He is currently in between health plans, and did not seek medical assistance, although this was dangerous because of this. Dan is missing some of his basic medications right now, and day to day living is a challenge.

He continuing to work right now, even without eating, to generate income.

If you have been helped, moved, or calmed by Dan’s presence, please send your donation right away. Dan has spent the past two decades as a core and founding member of the NY Faerie Festival. This year he missed most of the fest for medical complications.

Dan is a giver. He has very little practice receiving. So let us, in true fae form, turn the tables, and generously water the roots of our fairy tree.
