STNG NEWS ALERTS ::
Leatrice Doby is overcome with emotion after seeing the SUV donated to her on July 9 by the Foltz family of Wheaton. (Corey R. Minkanic/Special to The Sun)
After a year without wheels, Leatrice Doby was set to receive a car donated to SARET Charitable Fund in Glen Ellyn. Instead, she spent that day - June 24 - making funeral arrangements for her 16-year-old son, Zamarri Doby, who died two days earlier after collapsing on a basketball court at Plainfield South High School. Unaware of what was happening, the car's owner simply donated it to a different charitable organization.
