Teenage Girl With Special Needs Left Without Prom Date so This Young Gentleman Steps Up
A young man from Utah has been lauded for stepping up to accompany a disabled girl confined to a wheelchair to a special-needs prom.
Carson Preece, 17, a student at the Utah County Academy of Sciences, offered to accompany Isabelle, or Izzie, to her prom after her planned date contracted a virus and could not escort her.
“My sweet daughter Isabelle is 16 and wheelchair bound,” her mother Syndi Knowlton posted in a community Facebook group on April 2.
“We have been talking about prom and her date can’t go now. Are there any young men that might want to attend the special needs prom with this gorgeous girl?”
