I’m not gonna lie, I got very emotional watching this. I smiled the whole time too! My son turned 14 and got invited to best buddies. I just filled out the application and seeing this video gave me so much home for my boy. Thank you!

I met Zach at ambassador training. He is an amazing kind soul! It was an honor to meet him.

I think that this is such a beautiful thing more people need to know about Best Buddies ive been involved for 23 years so far and I will say the day when I was in College when filling out the form for Best Buddies Chapters I had no idea what I was getting myself into but eventually I understood what I was getting myself into afterwords,. Its one of the Best None Profit Organizations ever to exist in the world and im not saying that just to say it this video shows proof of that of how much of a impact it can bring to anyone

I really love our video and I am so glad that we met in 8th grade and I am also glad that I really made a everlasting connection with each other we are still matched up together!

I'm so glad that the and madaline found each other.

I have autism. In high school I don’t have that many friends. I want friends but it’s hard with my social thinking. I don’t like people getting away from me, reject me or ignore me. I’m felt kind of lonely now. So that is why I joined this program.

This is an awesome outcome. I am looking to connect my grandson with a best buddy!

Our experience with Best Buddies has not been so positive. My grandson has been in BB for three years now. He's on his third BB. The first one he never saw all year long. The second one took him out three times and came to the house to play video games once. Now he has a third one and we have yet to hear from him. It's nice to see that some boys and girls have some positive experiences with BB. I feel many of the students that sign up do it so it looks good on their college transcripts.

So proud to be apart of the the best buddies program

great.

My niece is coordinating Best Buddies at Jay County High School. She shared this link with me. Zach and Madeline you are both true inspirations. Best of Luck to you both in the future. Let's hope such true friendships grow from Best Buddies at Jay County High.

Maria Snow I'll pray for that.

For people who don’t know what it’s like to be in best buddies is the best decision I made since I graduated from high school I was never the popular kid always got picked on nobody wants to talk to me during my senior year I thought my life was over until I met my best friend Marshall He changed my life

Yo my best buddies is cool

you guys are awesome.

This is a beautiful story that's beautifully done. Madeline and Zach are an incredible example of the power of the Best Buddies program.

Aww that so sweet

I really love it

The Best Buddies program has been great for my daughter. She has one on campus and one by email. The email BB is amazing she just started college and she still corresponds with my daughter.

I have autism and does this mean I can’t form friendships forever? I hope it’s not true. Felt very lonesome.
