A friend\u2019s initiative and community generosity has brought some welcome relief.<br \/>\nLocal teacher Joseph Bromley has worked with Ms Sansom for more than a decade. Close friends, they teach performing arts in schools and have collaborated in many performances.<br \/>\nMr Bromley set up an online GoFundMe campaign, \u2018Some bread for Tha\u00efs and John\u2019, with the goal of raising $25,000.<br \/>\nHe said the communities of Mount Alexander Shire, Hepburn and the Macedon Ranges had been rocked by the news of John\u2019s illness and rallied to show their support for the family.<br \/>\n&#8220;Tha\u00efs and John have been immensely generous to our community over many years,&#8221; Mr Bromley said.<br \/>\n&#8220;I knew their friends and well-wishers would want to give back with some practical support at this difficult time. I\u2019m delighted by the response, which smashed my goal and shows how beloved this family is.&#8221;<br \/>\nMr Reid co-founded RedBeard with his brother in 2005 to bake authentic sourdough breads and pastries in a historic wood-fired oven in the heart of Trentham.<br \/>\nThe business grew rapidly and now employs more than 20 locals. A regional icon and major destination, RedBeard has won several awards for sustainability, a National Baking Industry Award for Excellence and an RACV Tourism Award.<br \/>\n&#8220;I\u2019m passionate about ethical and sustainable production of health-giving food,&#8221; Mr Reid said.<br \/>\n&#8220;We choose RedBeard\u2019s suppliers based on their commitment to environmental protection, Indigenous rights, regenerative and ethical farming, and organic food production,&#8221; he said.<br \/>\nMs Sansom said John had undergone brain surgery and was recovering at home before starting further treatment to extend his life.<br \/>\n&#8220;We were surprised by Joseph\u2019s fundraiser and overwhelmed by the community\u2019s response. Having the financial stress lifted means we can focus on spending precious time with family and friends and enjoy sharing happy memories, being in our garden and, of course, eating good food,&#8221; she said.<br \/>\n&#8220;The kind and caring messages people have sent give us emotional strength, which is beyond value. John and I want everyone to know that we feel loved and supported and we are incredibly grateful.<br \/>\n&#8220;Meanwhile, we have plans in place to ensure that RedBeard remains in operation and our super staff have been assured that their jobs will continue.<br \/>\n&#8220;We greatly appreciate our community\u2019s support of RedBeard over the past 16 years. Every supporter and customer is helping to secure John\u2019s wonderful legacy.&#8221;<br \/>\nReaders can support the fundraiser via <a href=\"https:\/\/au.gofundme.com\/f\/some-bread-for-thais-and-john?qid=57aeeb32f6a0ed2370d27184f4ac633b&amp;fbclid=IwAR0kRRm8W6oz-FnC8FJa-I73qzKEio82DMBb2-hmMS4wqo_qgvX2MKA4GnE\">Go Fund Me<\/a>.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7691\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7691\" src=\"http:\/\/54.253.242.233\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-2-Website-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-2-Website-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-2-Website-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-2-Website-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-2-Website.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thais Sansom and John Reid at home in Castlemaine.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7692\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7692\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7692\" src=\"http:\/\/54.253.242.233\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-3-Website-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-3-Website-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-3-Website-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-3-Website-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cBaker230321-3-Website.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John and Tha\u00efs with sons Ben, Jim and Will Reid at RedBeard Historic Bakery.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crowdfunding campaign has raised more than $50,000 for a local family in crisis.
