After Couric interviewed the family, she announced that an Atlanta-area Chevrolet dealer was in the studio to give Copeland a new minivan that will be retrofitted so she can drive it.

In this Saturday, June 23 2012 file photo provided by the Copeland family, Aimee Copeland is seen outside Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Ga. Aimee was released from Doctors Hospital on Monday, July 2, 2012. She moved to an inpatient rehabilitation clinic in Atlanta, the Shepherd Center, and spent about two months learning to move herself with the aid of a wheelchair.

The 24-year-old University of West Georgia graduate student survived a flesh-eating bacterial infection that forced doctors to amputate most of her left leg, her right foot and both hands. The infection, necrotizing fasciitis, occurred after she gashed her leg following a zip line accident on a Georgia river May 1, 2012. After spending weeks in a Ga. hospital as doctors tried to stop the infection's spread, Copeland was finally able to breathe on her own and speak by late May. Copeland also underwent painful skin grafts during her recovery to replace skin that was destroyed by the infection.
