Jack’s mother, Kimberly DowDell, took to social media to share the touching moment.

"Yesterday, Jack’s friends from school called and asked if they could take him to a movie. Of course, I said YES! Jack anxiously anticipated their arrival and was so excited to see them. I love how much they embrace him and treat him like one of their own. It completely made his day!"

Kimberly’s post highlights the profound effect that a small gesture of inclusion can have.

"Make the invitation, put forth the effort – you will never regret the outcome and the good it will do for someone like Jack," she wrote.
