International celebrities have rallied around Australian boy Quaden Bayles , the nine-year-old at the centre of severe bullying over his short stature, with comedian Brad Williams GoFundMe reaching nearly $400k.
Quadens mum Yarraka Bayles, an advocate for Indigenous issues and disability awareness, posted a heartbreaking video of her sons despair after he was taunted in a Brisbane schoolyard on Wednesday. Quaden expressed multiple times his urge to take his life.
The video has racked up 24 million views as of Friday and while local Indigenous communities and sports stars have flooded Quaden with support, international celebs have also been moved by the young boys struggle.
A lot of my favourite celebrities are messaging me on Instagram, my favourite rappers, Quaden told NITV in an exclusive interview.

The love you have shown is unbelievable. Thank you! Money donated will not be wasted! We have a team of people making sure everything is completely legitimate, Williams said on Friday.

The goal here is to give Quaden the trip of a lifetime and to spend every dollar donated in a responsible way. My hopes are to spotlight the negative effects of bullying so parents and children can learn from this. We can be better. Thank you so much everyone! #EndBullying

Indigenous Australian model Jony Berry told HuffPost Australia: My personal message to Quaden would be that he has a friend in me, and that no matter his differences, he is exceptional and he is a warrior.
That fight that he has in him and the things hes already overcome... he is a true inspiration, not only to myself, but to all young people out there.
The NRLs Indigenous All Stars team has invited Quaden to lead them out this Saturday night at their game against the Maori All Stars on the Gold Coast. First Nations musician Mitch Tambo , who has been following Quadens journey over the past few years, will be performing at half-time on Saturday.

Yarraka Bayles expressed her thanks to the media on Friday.
Tambo told HuffPost Australia it was heart-wrenching to witness Quadens distress in the clip, and that he wants him to know we all love him and hes here for a real reason and real purpose.
Its just so heart-wrenching to see any young person bullied to that extent where they want to inflict self-harm and declare that kind of self-hate, he said.
To see the young fella in that state, its just very, very sad and obviously to hear and witness the distress of the mother, its got that real sense of, I cant take this anymore, I need help and this is all too much to bear which is obviously understandable.
