He, however, didn\u2019t have a date and his parents weren\u2019t sure whether he wanted to go or not. But then, someone special stepped in and made Jon\u2019s night.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Namely, a girl named Maddie, who met Jon through a school club that promotes friendships between special needs kids and regular kids, went to Jon\u2019s dad one day and told him she needed to talk to him.
