Tyler Perry gives woman new van
DECATUR, GA. • Filmmaker Tyler Perry is donating a new vehicle to a Georgia woman with cerebral palsy after her specially equipped van was stolen outside Atlanta.
Perry said he decided to give Alicia Day a van after he saw a news report about the theft. Authorities say Day’s 2000 Chrysler Town and Country van was stolen from her Decatur driveway sometime Sunday night.
Day, who uses a wheelchair, said she prides herself on being independent and works parttime as a greeter at Home Depot. Her mother relied on the van to take Day to work and to doctor appointments.
