Corinne's van has arrived!

A while back I asked DUers for help in getting a van for my sister-in-law, https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216097080
And DUers responded with breathtaking generosity!
The van has arrived, and modifications are being made for
the wheelchair ramp.
Next, the kit will be installed that will make it possible for
her to drive.
She and my brother are profoundly grateful, as am I.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

I frequent several car forums that are populated by mostly conservatives. Every time someone asked for this kind of help on those forums it turned out to be a scam. They actually had to prohibit people asking for donations unless it gets approved by the moderators. Glad to see how good people are here.
