Single Mom Welcomes Chilean Family Into Her Home

In a remarkable act of compassion, a single mother, even with only one spare bedroom, has opened her doors to shelter a struggling Chilean family. The story reveals how Denver residents shoulder the responsibility of welcoming displaced migrants into their homes.

Hope Has No Borders Works to Connect Families

A charity organization known as Hope Has No Borders began its mission to connect Sanctuary-seeking families with local hosts around Colorado in late 2023. The United Way has joined the cause by making it just a phone call away; 211 is the simple solution for locals of Denver to get paired with migrant families.

The Burden Falls to the Least Expecting

Ironically, the act of hospitality and charity seems to burden the least financially capable instead of those who enjoy a more privileged lifestyle. Erin Lennon, a struggling single mother, came to the aide of a family of four displaced Chileans; they were living off the streets due to immaculate capacities in shelters. The responsibility initially concerned her young son, but she reassured him, "Some of the greatest things that you do or have done, has been involved with some risk."

Resurgence of Shelter Programs

Numerous blue cities across the country echo this sudden urgency of housing migrants. In Massachusetts, the “right to shelter” laws drove homeless migrants to make do in the Boston Airport. The situation prompted Governor Maura Healey to ask citizens to open their hearts and their homes. A Boston liberal did just that by welcoming a Haitian family, who even provides cooking services to the host. It's a delightful exchange, as she exclaimed, “This is great! It’s like having your own personal chef!"

Helping Newcomers in Michigan

Michigan’s “Newcomer Renter Subsidy” program is making efforts to solve the issue. They're offering “eligible” households up to $500 monthly in taxpayer’s money, to provide a place for these newcomer illegal aliens.

Denver Pleads for More Support

The situation escalated this year as Denver, a sanctuary city, plead for extra support. They struggle with the arrival of approximately 40,000 illegal aliens leading to a significant strain on the budget. The cost of addressing this issue has weighed heavily on the taxpayers, amounting to $180 million.
