COLUMBIA — Kathleen Weinschenk and her partner, Greg Ahrens, brought home the wheelchair-accessible van they were hoping to buy on Tuesday. More than 100 people have donated to help pay the van’s $23,900 price tag in the past few months. Donors included Weinschenk’s friends from her church, civic organizations, MU’s Occupational Therapy Association and her family members.
