Georgia woman with cerebral palsy is getting some help from a celebrity filmmaker after he saw a Channel 2 Action News report about her van being stolen.
Atlanta-based media mogul Tyler Perry called Channel 2 and said he wanted to give Alicia Day a brand new van, just minutes after seeing her story air Monday afternoon.
The family of the 24-year-old said someone stole her specially equipped van out of their driveway sometime Sunday between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Day, who’s in a wheelchair, had no idea how she would get around. Despite her disability, she told Channel 2′s Diana Davis she prides herself on trying to be independent, working part-time as a greeter at Home Depot. Her mother, Hannelore Day, also relies on the $60,000-van to take Day to work and to doctor appointments. But now transportation is no longer a concern thanks to Perry, Day said.
“My mouth just dropped to the floor when I heard his voice,” Day said about her reaction to Perry’s call.
Her father, who answered the phone couldn’t believe it was Perry.
He said, “Excuse me, who do you want to talk to? Who is this now?,’ Day’s mother said.
Her mother said she didn’t realize the report about her stolen van would make such a difference.
After seeing the report, the Home Depot, is also pitching in. Day’s co-worker donated $5,000 to help with her medical expenses. She’ll meet the company president Friday.
As for the missing 2000 Chrysler Town and Country van, it has DeKalb County handicapped plates with license No. DP0229.

As a sign of gratitude on how my son was saved from autism, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My son suffered autism in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication,and he always complain of poor eye contact . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who have the cure to autism . I never imagined autism has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.autism has a cure and is a herbal cure,you can contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get this medication, Thanks.
