Life is already a challenge for children with disabilities or special needs, and the people around them can either break them down or uplift them. This is especial true during their years as teenagers and students.

According to statistics, Children with disabilities are 2 to 3 times more likely to be bullied in the United States. Also children with visible physical conditions or disabilities, like cerebral palsy and Down syndrome, can be more likely to be bullied and excluded from social activities.

But there are always people who find the goodness in their hearts to not follow the crowd and be positive part of these children’s lives in many different ways. Including this high school senior from Newton, Kansas.

Shaedon Wedel asked his best friend’s little sister, Carlie Wittman, who has Down syndrome to prom. The whole prom proposal was recorded; Wittman becomes exhilarated as see Shaedon approach with a shirt that read “I know I’m Nacho your typical Dorito but... I’m going to be Cheesy and ask: will you go to prom with me?” The video was posted on twitter and has gotten plenty of positive feedback.

“Knowing her for seven years now, she’s brought nothing but joy to my life. Anyone who’s ever around her, she makes them laugh, she always has a smile on her face. She’s amazing,” Wedel said.

It’s heartwarming, selfless acts like these that can really have a uplifting effect on someone, no matter who they are or how they different they are.
