The Noosa community is rallying behind humanitarian Oz Bayldon, who has suffered from a double aneurysm on the brain requiring imminent surgery.
His mate Bob Birkhead has joined forces with Naomi Todd of the Noosa Community Notice Board to establish a GoFundMe fundraiser.
Bob said, “Oz has been the heart and soul for our community for many years and whilst he does not do these things for anything in return, the time has come for the community to say thanks Oz.”
More than $5000 has been raised within two days to help his family ensure financial stress isn’t a barrier to his recovery.
Bob said, “Oz is the epitome of the word community and his work in the community has had such a positive impact on, not only a huge number of locals needing support for a host of social issues, but also his strong support for events like Noosa Come Together Festival, Noosa Busking Championships and Gympie Music Festival.”
“His advocacy has seen the establishment of Events 4 Greater Good Charity and his involvement in the organisation Making Lives Matter are examples of his passion for the community.
“Given all that Oz has done for the community, the opportunity for the community to assist Oz and his family in the months ahead has been established.”
Any assistance from the community will be going directly to Oz to meet the costs of surgery and recovery.
