The breathtaking Flight of the Angel, where a child dressed as an angel soars above the crowd and the Virgin Mary statue. For many families, especially those with roots in Italy, this festival is more than just a party—it’s a living link to their heritage. Seeing young kids embrace these customs keeps the spirit going strong. What traditions matter most to your family? #News #Boston #NorthEnd

Boston’s bagel-named beagles need help

Boston’s Animal Rescue League just took in ten adorable beagles, all named after bagels—think Blueberry, Pumpernickel, and Jalapeño Cheddar—rescued from a packed home in Northwestern Massachusetts. These pups, along with 24 others sent to shelters across New England, are safe but need lots of TLC and support before they’re ready for adoption. The shelter is asking for donations to help cover their care, from vet visits to daily needs. It’s a big reminder of how overcrowding affects both animals and communities. Would you consider fostering, adopting, or supporting these sweet dogs? #Safety #Boston #BeagleRescue

Boston’s bold move: Cash aid for homeless youth

Boston is launching a game-changing pilot: 15 young adults facing homelessness will get $1,200 in cash every month for two years—no strings attached. The BAY-CASH program trusts that these young people know best how to use the money, whether it’s for rent, food, or a security deposit. Alongside the cash, participants can access support services and financial coaching, but there’s no penalty if they don’t. This approach challenges old ideas about homelessness and could reshape how we support vulnerable youth. What do you think—should more cities try guaranteed income for those in need? #Safety #Boston #HomelessYouth
