Gift of transportation helps shooting victim have mobility

Posted: Updated:

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) - The Chattanooga community continues to show support for the family of a 13-year old girl injured in a gang-related shooting.

Keoshia Ford was shot in the head in March leaving her unable to walk or talk.

Since the accident, the community has rallied around Keoshia's family.

Cleveland car dealership owner Larry Hill, and supporters, donated a 2010 Dodge van to allow Keoshia a little more mobility.

Lekeshia Matthews, Keoshia's mom, says the new van will make it possible to take Keoshia to the doctor without any help.
