New Jersey girl receives accessible van for Christmas: "It's independence. It's life-changing"

In Gloucester City, New Jersey, a family received a life-changing gift on Christmas Eve: a wheelchair-accessible van for their 7-year-old daughter, AnnaMae Eells, who has cerebral palsy. The van, presented by Marino Cartier of the nonprofit Wigs and Wishes, offers newfound independence for AnnaMae, facilitating easier transportation to medical appointments, including an upcoming surgery. AnnaMae, an energetic Elvis Presley fan, was overjoyed by the gift, which marked a significant improvement in her and her family's daily life.
