Bullied Australian Boy to Donate $475,000 Raised Funds to Charity
The viral bullied Australian boy with dwarfism skip his Disneyland trip, instead, he will donate $475,000 raised funds to charity.
Based on the report of Inquirer, the Australian boy with dwarfism, Qauden Bayles, 9, whose distress from bullying became a viral video will donate hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in donations to charity rather than a trip to Disneyland.
The video clip of Quaden sobbing and repeatedly saying he wants to die after being bullied at school went viral on social media. His video sparks an outpouring of support from around the world.
Famous personalities express sympathy and support to the bullied boy including the “Wolverine” star Hugh Jackman. The US comedian Brad Williams even start a GoFundme page for Quaden that eventually raised up to 475,000 US dollars.
Recently, Internet trolls exposed the allegedly true identity of Quaden Bayles. They questioned whether the boy is actually older than his mom says he is.
But the bullied boy proves them wrong after announcing the raised funds supposed to send him and his mum to Disneyland will be donated to the charity. His aunt told Australia’s NITV News that the money would be used for charities instead.
“What kid wouldn’t want to go to Disneyland, especially if you have lived Quaden’s life. To escape to anywhere that is fun that doesn’t remind him of his day to day challenges,” she was quoted as saying.
“But my sister said ‘you know what, let’s get back to the real issue’. This little fella has been bullied. How many suicides, black or white, in our society have happened due to bullying.”
“We want the money to go to community organizations that really need it. They know what the money should be spent on, So as much as we want to go to Disneyland, I think our community would far off benefit from that.” She added.
