Good News in Boston!
Good News in Boston! When Massachusettsans Look Out for Each Other
The pandemic might be longer than any of us hoped, but there’s still plenty to look forward to. And even when there isn’t, sometimes really awesome people step up and give everyone something to be excited about. Here are just a couple stories that really caught our attention with that spirit in mind. Massachusetts Teen Donates Gift Bags to Hospitalized Children 15-year-old Bella Adlah spent some time in a hospital as a young child and described the experience as “boring.” She can’t imagine what being in a hospital during the COVID-19 era would be like. So, as a passionate local hospital volunteer, she didn’t want to stop just because Reading Public Schools online classes are in session. Adlah, an aspiring pediatric nurse, decided she still wanted to do something to help.
With a gift-giving campaign called “Have Fun & Stay Strong,” Adlah put together gift bags for age groups ranging from infants to teenagers, which can include markers, stress balls, games, card games, and more. Over 200 bags have gone out. So far, Adlah is focused on providing bags for children in the local Boston Medical Center, but she plans to bring her bags to children across the country. One Farmer’s Unique Way of Thanking Pandemic First Responders If you love corn mazes, you just might love this one even more: a giant 5-acre corn maze designed as a tribute to first responders and
health care workers. Underneath, you’ll weave through the words “thank you,” and there are symbols representing the EMS, police, firefighters, doctors, and nurses who fight so tirelessly on the pandemic front lines. The man behind the idea is Eric Schartner, the manager of Schartner Farm in Bolton, a family- operated business for the past 118 years. “You can never really compensate them enough, there’s never enough ‘thank-you’s’; just the show of support I think really helps,” he told Boston 25 News. There’s nothing more heartwarming than seeing humans looking out for fellow humans, and being kind just for the sake of it. It’s something the world always needs a little more of. Thank you, Bella Adlah and Eric Schartner, for helping set the example for the rest of us!
