FORT MORGAN — Magdalena Simon’s only consolation after immigration officers handcuffed and led her husband away was the contents of his wallet, a few bills.The hopes that had pushed her to trudge thousands of miles from Guatemala in 2019, her son’s small frame clutched to her chest, ceded to despair and loneliness in Fort Morgan, a ranching outpost on Colorado’s eastern plains, where some locals stared at her too long and the wind howls so fiercely it once blew the doors half off a hotel.The pregnant Simon tried to mask the despair every morning when her toddlers asked, “Where’s papa?”To millions of migrants who have crossed the U.S. southern border in the past few years, stepping off greyhound buses in places across America, such feelings can be constant companions. What Simon would find in this unassuming city of a little more than 11,400, however, was a community that pulled her in, connecting her with legal council, charities, schools and soon friends, a unique support net...

While millions of Americans travel to gather with family and friends or wait for relatives to arrive in order to ring in the Christmas holiday, there are thousands of Bostonians who spent Christmas Eve away from loved ones and in a homeless shelter.It’s the exact same position into which Jesus Christ was born, Cardinal Seán Patrick O’Malley said Sunday before he went into the Pine Street Inn‘s Harrison Avenue location to feed the hundreds of men and women without anywhere else to go on Christmas.“Christmas time, of course, is a very symbolic time. Our savior was born in homelessness: there was no room at the inn in Bethlehem. Thank god, there is always room at the Pine Street Inn,” O’Malley said.According to volunteers at the Inn, they will provide over 1,000 meals to their various properties this holiday season. For many, this year’s dinner of lasagna al forno, Caesar salad, fresh baked garlic bread, and assorted pies, may be the only meal they will get to enjoy i...
