BERLIN — Bright and energetic, 3-year-old Lorelai Priest is unable to walk and zips around in a motorized wheelchair. Recently her parents, Joe and Trisha Priest, were given a wheelchair-accessible van that will make it easier to take her and her three siblings places.
Priest said she cried when told the family was being given the van, which has a motorized lift for the wheelchair.
