A high school student, Maddi, made a heartfelt gesture by inviting her autistic classmate, Jon, to prom. Jon had always dreamed of attending but wasn’t sure it would happen. Maddi, who knew Jon through a school club, asked his father if she could take him to prom. She went above and beyond, choosing an orange dress (Jon’s favorite color) and organizing a dinner with his favorite meal.
Jon’s father was deeply moved by Maddi’s kindness, and the prom became a special memory for their family. Maddi’s selfless act, shared on Facebook in 2013, touched millions and highlighted the power of empathy and inclusion. Her humility and generosity have inspired many to embrace kindness and create more compassionate communities.
