A child in a wheelchair lights up after seeing an ad featuring someone like him. The little guy cannot believe what he sees when he looks at the store’s display. Watch the short but adorable clip to see the heartwarming moment.

Everyone wants to be included and feel as if they belong and that they matter. There’s something special about feeling accepted and liked by others. Most people have likely seen how someone’s face lights up when they are included in plans or asked to do something by others. Typically, they exhibit a massive smile, and often, a little extra pep finds its way into their step.

Loneliness and believing oneself to be cut off and excluded from others are among the worst feelings in the world. We all want to know that someone cares and that we’re loved. Feeling part of the group is vital to everyone, especially to children. A sweet clip on social media shows what it means to one child to feel included and seen.

In the video, Ezra, a young man with spina bifida who uses a wheelchair, is in a store with his mother. Seconds after the short clip begins, a small but excited voice can be heard from off-camera.

“There’s a girl in a wheelchair!” he says.

In the center of the screen is a display of a young woman in a wheelchair. The child then appears on camera and rolls toward an ad with a little girl in a wheelchair. He cannot believe his eyes.

“There’s a girl in a wheelchair just like me!” Ezra says while sporting one of the biggest smiles you’ve ever seen.

He is beyond excited to see someone who also uses a wheelchair in an ad. It’s clear that the young man felt seen, accepted and included at that moment.

What a lovely and heartwarming moment!
