Soon, Paul Revere Mall will be filled with the sights sounds of the San Gennaro feast. The annual event isn’t just about celebrating Italian heritage but it’s also about giving back to those in need. A father’s love and a quiet fight for his son’s future. Six-year-old Mikey lives with autism and doesn’t use words to communicate.

His dad, Michael Intoccia, has made it his mission to give him every chance to succeed. “I used to stay up at night and say God take me tonight and let my son talk tomorrow. I think any human being would do anything for their kids,” said Intoccia. Those sleepless nights turned into something bigger. “A voice for Mikey.” A non-profit that help families struggling to afford autism care and services.
