<\/p>\nDion est\u00e1 ilusionado porque le han hecho un libro, un manuscrito escrito por una trabajadora de la Cruz Roja que le atiende. Se le enciende la mirada cuando recuerda que casi pierde la vida en una ca\u00edda durante el confinamiento en el albergue de Terrassa y que a su regreso del hospital de un viaje que pudo no tener retorno; Ana le hab\u00eda obsequiado con un relato emotivo que guarda como un tesoro.<\/p>\n
Mohamed, un joven marroqu\u00ed que perdi\u00f3 el trabajo de promotor en un bar de las Ramblas al decretarse el estado de alarma, sobrevive como puede. Tuvo que abandonar la pensi\u00f3n por falta de ingresos. Su fe en Al\u00e1 le ayuda a soportar las penas de la vida en la calle como son el fr\u00edo en el cajero en el que duerme, las quejas de algunos vecinos de Sarri\u00e1 por dormir all\u00ed o incluso las explicaciones constantes a la polic\u00eda por haberse confinado frente a un supermercado donde pide limosna. Se emociona cuando explica que Dios le protege de la soledad en la calle, pero tambi\u00e9n ante la bondad de algunas personas que le han ayudado, vecinos del barrio u otras personas que se han cruzado en su camino.<\/p>\n
Samir Pawel no pod\u00eda soportar la idea de estar encerrado sabiendo que tantas personas estaban en la calle pasando estrecheces. Sal\u00eda cada tarde con su malet\u00edn negro repleto de platos de comida que \u00e9l mismo cocinaba, medicamentos, alg\u00fan tel\u00e9fono m\u00f3vil que alguien le hab\u00eda dado e incluso dinero. Cada d\u00eda intentaba recorrer alguna zona distinta para llegar a diferentes personas. Un d\u00eda conoci\u00f3 a Mohamed, que tambi\u00e9n combat\u00eda la soledad enviando mensajes desde su tel\u00e9fono obsoleto. Pawel le obsequi\u00f3 con uno m\u00e1s moderno y se le abri\u00f3 el mundo.<\/p>\n
Marisa\u00a0 M\u00fcller ve\u00eda at\u00f3nita las noticias los d\u00edas siguientes al decreto del estado de alarma. Acostumbrada a atender emergencias en \u00c1frica, Asia y Pr\u00f3ximo Oriente a trav\u00e9s de M\u00e9dicos Sin Fronteras y Cruz Roja Internacional no quer\u00eda quedarse impasible ante la situaci\u00f3n de las personas m\u00e1s vulnerables. Contact\u00f3 con Barcelona Actua para ofrecer su propio piso a cuatro personas que pasaron de la noche a la ma\u00f1ana de vivir en la calle a vivir en un precioso piso en el barrio de Gracia, mientras que ella se traslad\u00f3 a la vivienda de su madre.<\/p>\n
En una Barcelona fantasmal, con apenas personas transitando en soledad o acompa\u00f1adas de su mascota, las personas sin techo se hac\u00edan evidentes. Andr\u00e9 Guimaraes recorr\u00eda la ciudad en su coche los jueves por la tarde con el maletero cargado de grandes ollas. Hab\u00eda conseguido implicar a restaurantes de Santa Eulalia y a colaboradores de su gimnasio de defensa personal en Hospitalet de Llobregat. Paraba r\u00e1pidamente cuando avistaba a alguien confinado en la calle y le serv\u00eda all\u00ed mismo la comida en un platito o cuantos fueran necesarios.<\/p>\n
Desi Rodriguez, ya jubilada y miembro del grupo Encuentro de la parroquia San Oleguer, preparaba cada tarde la cena para las personas confinadas frente a la Biblioteca Fort Pienc. El grupo hab\u00eda aumentado tras el decreto de alarma. Un joven latino hab\u00eda perdido el trabajo que realizaba en negro en una obra. Otro joven rumano que reci\u00e9n hab\u00eda roto con su novia hab\u00eda decidido regresar a su pa\u00eds y se hab\u00eda quedado con el billete sin usar en el bolsillo a la espera que abrieran fronteras. Un grupo de subsaharianos se hab\u00edan trasladado porque en el lugar se sent\u00edan m\u00e1s seguros. El m\u00e1s veterano del grupo,que hab\u00eda perdido tambi\u00e9n su trabajo en la construcci\u00f3n, acud\u00eda cada tarde al portal de Desi y, manteniendo las distancias, recog\u00eda una bolsa con la comida que distribu\u00eda entre sus compa\u00f1eros, que la esperaban con anhelo porque se notaba que estaba reci\u00e9n preparada. Cada d\u00eda Desi les sorprend\u00eda con un men\u00fa distinto.<\/p>\n
Si algo sucedi\u00f3 durante el confinamiento es que la generosidad de personas y entidades sensibles a la realidad de la calle aliger\u00f3 la existencia de los m\u00e1s vulnerables, un atisbo de esperanza frente a la tenaz adversidad por no tener un techo.<\/p>\n

Cuaderno manuscrito de una trabajadora de Cruz Roja para Dion, un residente que estuvo recuper\u00e1ndose de una grave enfermedad durante la pandemia en el albergue de Terrassa habilitado en una escuela. Albergue de Terrassa, 12 de mayo. Foto: Eva Parey \/\/ Handwritten notebook of a Red Cross worker for Dion, a resident who was recovering from a serious illness during the pandemic in the Terrassa shelter set up in a school.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dion is excited because someone has written a story about him, a manuscript written by a Red Cross worker who is looking after him. His gaze lights up when he remembers that he almost lost his life in a fall during quarantine in the Terrassa shelter and that on his return from the hospital from a trip that he might not have survived, Ana had gifted him an emotional short story \u2013 something he now keeps as a small treasure.<\/p>\n
Mohamed, a Moroccan youth who lost his job as a promoter for a bar on the Ramblas when the state of alarm was decreed, survives as best he can. He had to leave the hostel due to lack of income. His faith in Allah helps him bear the pains of life on the street such as the cold in the ATM cubicle where he sleeps, the complaints of some Sarri\u00e0 residents for sleeping there or even the constant explanations to the police for having self-isolated in front of a supermarket where he begs. He gets emotional when he explains that God protects him from loneliness on the street, but he also expresses gratitude for the kindness of those who have helped him, local residents or others who have crossed his path.<\/p>\n
Samir Pawel could not bear the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing locked up knowing that so many people were on the street going through hardship. He went out every afternoon with his black briefcase full of meals cooked by himself, medicines, a mobile phone that someone had given him and even money. Every day he tried to visit a different area to reach more people. One day he met Mohamed, who was also combating loneliness by sending messages from his outdated phone. Pawel gifted him a more modern one and suddenly the world opened up to him.<\/p>\n
Marisa M\u00fcller, aghast, watched the news the days following the decree of the state of alarm. Accustomed to attending emergencies in Africa, Asia and the Middle East through Doctors Without Borders and the International Red Cross, she did not want to remain unmoved by the plight of the most vulnerable. She contacted BarcelonActua [a local NGO] to offer her own apartment to four people, who overnight went from living on the street to living in a beautiful apartment in Gr\u00e0cia, while she moved to her mother’s home.<\/p>\n
In a ghostly Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith hardly anyone walking alone or even accompanied by their pet, the homeless were all too visible. Andr\u00e9 Guimaraes drove around town in his car on Thursday afternoons, his trunk loaded with large pots and pans. He had managed to engage restaurants in Santa Eul\u00e0lia and collaborators from his self-defence fitness centre in Hospitalet de Llobregat. He would stop immediately when he spotted someone on the street and would provide them with a meal right there and then, or more than one if necessary.<\/p>\n
Desi Rodriguez, now retired and a member of the Encuentro group of the San Oleguer parish, prepared dinner every evening for the quarantined people in front of the Fort Pienc public library. The group had grown after the state of alarm. A young Latino man had lost his job on a building site, working off the books. Another young man from Romania, who had just broken up with his girlfriend, had decided to return to his country and had kept the unused ticket in his pocket waiting for the borders to re-open. A group of sub-Saharan Africans had moved because they felt safer there. The most experienced of the group, who had also lost his job in construction, spent every afternoon in the entrance to Desi\u2019s flat and, maintaining social distance, picked up a bag with the food that she distributed among her colleagues, who would wait for it eagerly because it had clearly been recently prepared. Every day Desi would surprise them with a different meal.<\/p>\n
If something\u2019s happened during quarantine, it\u2019s that the generosity of the people and organisations sensitive to the realities of living on the street has lightened the existence of the most at risk: a glimmer of hope in the face of the tenacious adversity of sleeping rough.<\/p>\n
