Another Disadvantaged Class of People

The Lord of Truth checks in with another person needing charity...

Sandy Allen now has enough money to buy her dream van -- one big enough to accommodate the 7-foot, 7-1/4 inch frame she has as the world's tallest woman.

Less than a week after announcement of an effort to raise the $5,200 needed to buy the used van, donations have reached about $7,000, said Bonnie Shehan, a friend of Allen's.

"People from all over the country are sending money for Sandy," Shehan said Thursday.

Shehan had been Allen's unofficial chauffeur, using her minivan to drive Allen places, until the van was stolen last week. But while Allen said she was glad to leave the nursing home where she lives from time to time, Shehan's van was cramped.

I'd like to announce that I'm taking donations to buy the Lord of Truth an Escalade. No, he's not exceptionally tall, nor was his car stolen. But he's stuck living in New Jersey, for crying out loud. Won't someone take pity on him?
