An 11-year-old girl's donated heart provided the life-saving gift, but the story doesn't end there. ## A Chain of Hope The girl's heart transplant not only saved her life but also provided viable heart valves for two boys in critical need: 3.5-year-old Teddy Carter from Long Island and 2-year-old John Catoliato from Westchester County. Both boys suffered from severe heart conditions requiring urgent valve replacements. Teddy received the aortic valve, while John received the pulmonary valve. The successful procedure was the result of a complex, almost 24-hour surgical effort by Dr. David Kalfa and his team. ## 'Heart Brothers' The remarkable outcome has left the families overwhelmed with gratitude. The boys, now thriving eight months post-surgery, share a unique bond—a connection forged by the generous gift of life. "We call them 'heart brothers.' They're connected for life," shared Teddy's mother, Katie Carter. The families express immense gratitude to the 11-year-old donor and the medical team that made this extraordinary event possible. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/your-video-id" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> *(replace your-video-id with actual video ID)* ]]></description> <author>contact@newyorknews.app (NewYorkNews.app)</author> <category>hearttransplant</category> <category>organdonation</category> <category>medicalmiracle</category> <category>newyorkcity</category> <category>childrenshealth</category> <enclosure url="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2025/04/17/948924a5-f170-4f17-af7f-56060fc4e1d6/thumbnail/1200x630/bece2ee545b6e444a65f19c34abedc72/dias-6p-pkg-domino-hear-wcbsdmdj-hi-res-still.jpg?v=412b48b2e3085db78364e6e02a7dc2b8" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Cuomo's NYC Mayoral Bid Stumbles: $3M Funding Blow!]]></title> <link>https://www.newyorknews.app/article/cuomos-nyc-mayoral-bid-stumbles-3m-funding-blow</link> <guid>cuomos-nyc-mayoral-bid-stumbles-3m-funding-blow</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 07:17:24 GMT</pubDate> <description>< <img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/new-york-mayor-candidate-state-101669446.jpg?w=1024" alt="Zohran Mamdani"> ## Mamdani's Fundraising Lead In contrast, **Zohran Mamdani**, a state Assemblyman, secured the most public dollars, raising over **$8 million** and reaching the fundraising cap. This allows Mamdani to focus on spending rather than fundraising. Current polls indicate Cuomo is leading the Democratic mayoral primary, but Mamdani maintains a strong second place position. Mayor Eric Adams is running as an independent after being denied matching funds and facing corruption charges. ## Other Candidates' Funding The board also approved matching funds for other candidates, including Brad Lander, Zellnor Myrie, Scott Stringer, and Jim Walden. Lander has raised nearly $6 million, Stringer $4.5 million, Myrie $3.5 million, and Walden $2.8 million. Even Anthony Weiner received matching funds for his city council bid. <img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/andrew-cuomo-supporter-holds-cuomo-99638066.jpg?w=806" alt="Cuomo Supporter"> ]]></description> <author>contact@newyorknews.app (NewYorkNews.app)</author> <category>cuomo</category> <category>mamdani</category> <category>nycmayoralrace</category> <category>campaignfinance</category> <category>nycpolitics</category> <enclosure url="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/cuomo-mayor-denied-public-matching-funds-comp-1.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=1024" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[NYC Lawmakers Sue Mayor Adams Over Secret ICE Deal with Trump?]]></title> <link>https://www.newyorknews.app/article/nyc-lawmakers-sue-mayor-adams-over-secret-ice-deal-with-trump</link> <guid>nyc-lawmakers-sue-mayor-adams-over-secret-ice-deal-with-trump</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:17:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[# NYC Lawmakers Sue Mayor Adams Over Rikers Island ICE Facility **A bombshell lawsuit** has been filed against New York City Mayor Eric Adams by city lawmakers. The suit alleges that the opening of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office at Rikers Island was the result of a **quid pro quo** with former President Donald Trump. <img src="https://www.nyccouncil.gov/images/default-source/about/council-members/adams-adrienne.jpg?sfvrsn=46a763b2_2" alt="Council Speaker Adrienne Adams"> The complaint, filed in Manhattan state Supreme Court, claims the authorization of the ICE outpost **violated proper procedure** and stemmed from a deal between Adams and Trump in exchange for the dismissal of a federal corruption case against the mayor. **Council Speaker Adrienne Adams**, who is also running against Mayor Adams in the upcoming Democratic primary, stated that this action is a "naked attempt" by the mayor to fulfill his end of the bargain with the Trump administration. She further asserted that New York City "cannot afford its mayor colluding with the Trump administration to violate the law." City Hall denies these allegations, stating that the ICE office is necessary for criminal immigration enforcement and that the mayor remains committed to reducing crime. They also claim the lawsuit is baseless and contrary to public interest. The lawsuit details the events leading up to the dismissal of the mayor's bribery case, including an assertion by former acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon that the dismissal constituted a quid pro quo. The lawsuit also challenges the delegation of authority to sign the executive order authorizing the ICE facility. This legal battle highlights a significant political clash within the city and raises serious questions about the relationship between the mayor, the Trump administration, and the operation of the ICE office at Rikers Island. The outcome of this lawsuit will undoubtedly have significant implications for NYC politics and immigration enforcement. ]]></description> <author>contact@newyorknews.app (NewYorkNews.app)</author> <category>ericadams</category> <category>rikersisland</category> <category>ice</category> <category>trump</category> <category>lawsuit</category> <enclosure url="https://static.politico.com/87/60/d54e54934e2fb0ea2edd003221e1/53011049349-b29b79e9a3-o.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Trump Attacks Harvard for Hiring de Blasio: A Feud Erupts!]]></title> <link>https://www.newyorknews.app/article/trump-attacks-harvard-for-hiring-de-blasio-a-feud-erupts</link> <guid>trump-attacks-harvard-for-hiring-de-blasio-a-feud-erupts</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 19:17:15 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[# Trump Slams Harvard, De Blasio Responds President Trump launched a scathing attack on Harvard University for hiring former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio as a teaching fellow. Trump, in a Truth Social post, called de Blasio and former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot "two of the **WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors** in the history of our country," arguing their presence reflects a broader left-leaning bias at Harvard. He further claimed Harvard should lose federal funding due to its faculty's political leanings. <img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.nydailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/TNY-Education-Williams-8902.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1" alt="Bill de Blasio speaks to the media"> De Blasio responded calmly, stating that Trump's actions are aimed at destroying universities for political gain. He highlighted the importance of university research and criticized Trump's threat to cut federal funding, which affects vital research in areas like healthcare and national security. <img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.nydailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/TNY-Education-Williams-7646.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1" alt="Bill de Blasio at a press conference"> This feud comes after the Trump administration froze millions in federal grants and contracts at Harvard due to the university's refusal to comply with demands to dismantle diversity initiatives and crack down on pro-Palestinian student protests. The federal government also threatened to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status. De Blasio dismissed Trump's claims of his receiving a "massive salary" as false. <img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.nydailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/TNY-Education-Williams-7491.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1" alt="Bill de Blasio and Mayor Eric Adams"> De Blasio emphasized the danger of undermining the bipartisan consensus supporting university funding, warning of its harmful impact on the country's future.

Weinstein is currently incarcerated at Rikers Island, following the overturning of his 2020 rape conviction last year. This retrial focuses on allegations from 2013 and 2006, with additional charges from a third accuser. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c0eb9315-1fff-408c-a340-3e9c9e49ae75" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> ## The Charges Weinstein faces charges of rape and criminal sex acts based on the testimony of three accusers. His initial conviction included additional witnesses, deemed biased by the New York Court of Appeals, leading to the overturning of the verdict. ## Weinstein's Current Situation Weinstein has spent nearly a year at Rikers Island, expressing concerns about the conditions and his own health (including cancer diagnoses). He's pleaded with the judge to expedite the trial. Even an acquittal wouldn't mean immediate release, as he is currently serving a 16-year sentence from a 2022 Los Angeles conviction, which is also under appeal. ## The Significance This retrial is a crucial test for the ongoing impact of the #MeToo movement. The original trial was a watershed moment, and this retrial, held in the same Manhattan courtroom, will likely receive significant attention and scrutiny. ## Timeline Jury selection is expected to last several days, with opening statements to follow. The trial itself is anticipated to last four to six weeks.]]></description> <author>contact@newyorknews.app (NewYorkNews.app)</author> <category>harveyweinstein</category> <category>metoo</category> <category>retrial</category> <category>rikersisland</category> <category>nyc</category> <enclosure url="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2025/03/12/2caffc6a-f31b-4da1-aa44-13d123fd9781/thumbnail/1200x630/6f1c1f45f7c295d2d8d8193fc43ffae3/ap25029589034621.jpg?v=22a842e47fa1552047fb956f78e1acf0" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Hudson River Helicopter Crash: NTSB Recovers Key Evidence, Company Grounds Flights]]></title> <link>https://www.newyorknews.app/article/hudson-river-helicopter-crash-ntsb-recovers-key-evidence-company-grounds-flights</link> <guid>hudson-river-helicopter-crash-ntsb-recovers-key-evidence-company-grounds-flights</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 15 Apr 2025 07:17:16 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## **Hudson River Helicopter Crash: Major Update** The main rotor and roof structure from last week's fatal helicopter crash in the Hudson River have been recovered, marking a significant step in the ongoing investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The key components are now in the hands of the NTSB and will be crucial to determining the cause of the accident. <img alt="Video from NewsCopter 7 shows the rotor." src="https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/16171634_041425-wabc-rotor-recovered-img.jpg"> The NTSB acknowledged the assistance of the NYPD, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the Jersey City Office of Emergency Management in the recovery efforts. Following the tragedy, New York Helicopter Tours, the company involved, has grounded all flights and faces an emergency order from the FAA suspending operations. **The crash tragically claimed the lives of six people**, including three children, who were part of a family visiting from Spain. The pilot, identified as a Navy veteran, also perished. The FAA has announced a comprehensive review of the tour operator's license and safety records, as well as a nationwide analysis of airplane and helicopter hotspots, culminating in a helicopter safety panel on April 22nd. ### **Details of the Incident** The helicopter, carrying the pilot and the Spanish family, crashed into the Hudson River on April 11th, shortly after departing from the Wall Street Heliport. Initial reports suggest the helicopter fell into the water inverted, lacking a tail rotor or main rotor blade. The NTSB continues its investigation, examining the helicopter's flight control systems. The helicopter's last major inspection was on March 1st; the crash occurred during the eighth flight of the day, following seven prior successful tour flights. **Mayor Eric Adams offered his condolences** following the incident, expressing sympathy for the victims and their families. The investigation aims to uncover the circumstances that led to this devastating accident and prevent future tragedies.]]></description> <author>contact@newyorknews.app (NewYorkNews.app)</author> <category>helicoptercrash</category> <category>hudsonriver</category> <category>ntsb</category> <category>faa</category> <category>newyork</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/16171634_041425-wabc-rotor-recovered-img.jpg?w=1600" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[NYC Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research: Join the Fight on May 4th!]]></title> <link>https://www.newyorknews.app/article/nyc-walk-for-pancreatic-cancer-research-join-the-fight-on-may-4th</link> <guid>nyc-walk-for-pancreatic-cancer-research-join-the-fight-on-may-4th</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 15 Apr 2025 19:17:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><. **Location:** Rockefeller Park at Battery Park City 22 River Terrace New York, NY 10282]]></description> <author>contact@newyorknews.app (NewYorkNews.app)</author> <category>pancreaticcancer</category> <category>cancerresearch</category> <category>nycwalk</category> <category>lustgartenfoundation</category> <category>charitywalk</category> <enclosure url="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2025/04/15/993950d8-1b30-4230-bbd4-bdfdcb76b128/thumbnail/1200x630/6d6b7151d4e58d645830542158d6de20/lustgarten-ep-still.png?v=412b48b2e3085db78364e6e02a7dc2b8" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Horrific Plane Crash in Upstate NY: No Survivors Among 6 Onboard]]></title> <link>https://www.newyorknews.app/article/horrific-plane-crash-in-upstate-ny-no-survivors-among-6-onboard</link> <guid>horrific-plane-crash-in-upstate-ny-no-survivors-among-6-onboard</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2025 07:17:22 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[# Tragic Plane Crash in Upstate New York A private plane carrying six people crashed in Columbia County, New York, resulting in no survivors.

He intends to initiate a voter referendum to limit the Council's power, arguing that public safety should be managed by experts, not political agendas. <img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/jim-walden-caused-kerfuffle-called-101979261.jpg?w=1024" alt="Jim Walden at a mayoral debate"> Walden's proposed referendum aims to: * **Extend** the mayoral review period for police-related legislation. * **Mandate** public hearings with policing experts to assess legislation's impact. * **Empower** the mayor to declare bills damaging to policing, requiring a two-thirds majority for passage. * **Require** a three-fourths supermajority to override a mayoral veto. <img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/general-view-nypd-police-car-84581014.jpg?w=1024" alt="NYPD police car"> This initiative requires gathering approximately 50,000 voter signatures—a significant undertaking. Walden believes the Council's actions, exemplified by the How Many Stops Act, create unnecessary bureaucracy and hinder effective policing. He advocates for smart policing while opposing politically motivated overregulation. <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/18/opinion/how-many-stops-act-is-a-wasteful-failure-repeal-it-now/">Learn more about the How Many Stops Act.</a> <img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/members-nypd-stand-poutside-tesla-100524405.jpg?w=1024" alt="NYPD officers"> This ambitious plan faces significant challenges, requiring substantial resources.
