Cord left Cape Cod coyote unable to move. Wildlife vets have questions

A Cape Cod coyote is showing signs of recovery after rescuers found a cord wound tightly around its neck, leaving the animal temporarily unable to move his legs and raising fears of a serious spinal injury.

$900 cars offer a transportation lifeline in Massachusetts

Second Chance Cars is working with Massachusetts nonprofits to put affordable vehicles in the hands of veterans, returning citizens and single parents who need transportation. Recipients pay $900 for a refurbished used vehicle, according to a community announcement, through a zero-interest, credit-building loan from Metro Credit Union. Payments are $75 a month for one year. Second Chance Cars, or SCC, partners with nonprofits to identify qualified candidates, refurbish donated vehicles and match the cars with recipients. The program is intended to address a lack of affordable car ownership options for people in need in Massachusetts, according to the announcement. Affordable cars can help veterans get to work One partner is MVOC, which works with veterans.
