Brad learned about the unfortunate child from a video posted by Quaden's mother — it's impossible to watch it without tears.

He stressed that he is asking for help not only for Quaden, but also in the name of all those who have experienced harassment because of their appearance. The comedian says that if more money can be raised, the extra funds will be donated to charities.The little Australian was given the opportunity to chat with the players of the Australian rugby league team. He dreams of becoming a football player.

Yarraka Bales hopes their video will help raise awareness not only about bullying, but also about the rising suicide rate in Australia.

Actor Hugh Jackman also supported little Quaden. He called him his friend, addressing the boy in a sincere video in Twitter.
