joannerodriguez+FollowWestchester teen’s spy book helps kids fight cancerA local teen who beat cancer is turning his experience into hope for others, right here in Westchester. Hector Avila, a NYC high schooler, just launched “The Cool Spy Mission”—a kid’s spy adventure book that comes with its own interactive board game. What’s even more inspiring? Every purchase helps support young cancer patients at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital. You can meet Hector and co-creator David Stark in person at Barnes & Noble in Hartsdale this Saturday. This is more than just a book—it’s a way for our community to make a real difference. Who’s planning to check it out? #Entertainment #Books #Westchester00Share
Wesley Romero+FollowWestchester’s animal shelters overwhelmed in a dayThirty-three animals arrived at SPCA Westchester in just six hours—an all-time high that’s left staff and volunteers scrambling. From pit bull puppies surrendered to the Humane Law Enforcement Unit to cats found duct-taped in a dumpster in Somers, the stories are heartbreaking and highlight how urgent the need for fosters and community support is right now. Summer always brings a surge in abandoned pets, but this spike is alarming. Every animal is now safe and getting care, but the shelter can’t do it alone. What do you think could help prevent this kind of crisis in our neighborhoods? #Pets #Westchester #AnimalRescue20Share
