A comedian has raised nearly $200K to help send a bullied 9-year-old to Disneyland

Celebrities including Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and James Woods and comedian Brad Williams have showed their public support for a nine-year-old boy with dwarfism who is being bullied in Brisbane, Australia

Williams was left with a"broken heart", Australia's ABC reports, after seeing the video the boy's mother posted on Facebook, which has had more than 19 million views and been shared more than 300,000 times. The video shows him breaking down in tears and at one point saying"Give me a knife—I want to kill myself" and"I just want to die right now."

"But every single freaking day, something happens. Another episode, another bullying, another taunt, another name-calling. The heartbreaking video inspired him to set up a GoFundMe page for the Disneyland trip, which has raised more than $194,000 to date.
