Brad Williams' message to bullies is strong: bullying will not be tolerated.
After seeing the story of an Australian child with dwarfism who was suffering from severe bullying in school, Williams put a message out on Twitter to see what kind of support he could give to Quaden and his family. The response helped put him in touch with Quaden's mother, who posted the video that went viral around the world.
Brad Williams called into Stryker & Klein to talk about how the video moved him.
Brad decided that he could start with a GoFundMe to help raise funds for Quaden and his mother to fly to America, stay in a nice hotel, and bring them to Disneyland. His initial goal was $10,000 but in the course of less than 24 hours, the donations have exceeded over $75,000!
As it turned out, a representative from Fiji Airways happened to be listening and called in to make a pledge to the effort to make Quaden's life a little more magical. They have decided to donate roundtrip airfare to Quaden's family to visit Los Angeles from Australia.
Now, it was time for Stryker & Klein to deliver the great news. They called Brad Williams back to inform him of Fiji Airways generous contribution to the cause.

As Brad wrote in his GoFundMe description "there is good in the world" and the community response shows it.
The GoFundMe for Quaden is still accepting donations and any additional money after all the flights, hotel, tickets, and food is paid for will be donated to anti-bullying/anti-abuse charities.
