Celebs Rally Around 9-Year-Old Bullying Victim with Dwarfism
Celebs are showing their support for Quaden Bayles, a nine-year-old boy with dwarfism who has been the victim of bullying.
Quaden‘s mom posted a video on Facebook this week after she picked him up at school and found him in hysterics from the latest episode of bullying. At one point Quaden said, “Give me a knife, I want to kill myself.”
People from around the world have been rallying around Quaden and a GoFundMe page was launched by comedian Brad Williams to send him and his mom to Disneyland. The page had a goal of $10,000, but it has already surpassed $70,000!
Celebs like Hugh Jackman, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and more have posted video messages for Quaden on Twitter. Watch below.

Wow, thanks for doing this @funnybrad
I hope the kindness being shown to Quaden through this fund will offset some of the terrible bullying he has endured. Maybe Quaden’s family can schedule their @Disneyland trip when @WWE is in Anaheim. I still know some people there! https://t.co/TJQmiDVoID
