Christopher Reeves bundles up Thursday on Park Street in Lewiston. He says he was living with his mother until she became ill and had to go into the hospital. Since then, he has been living outdoors. “It’s been kind of cold out,” Reeves says. Despite the challenges he faces, Reeves says people have been looking out for him. “They’ve been showering me with gifts, trying to cover me up,” he says, adding that they tell him: “We’re gonna keep you warm. Don’t you worry.” Temperatures are expected to plummet next week, with lows near zero. The city has no official warming shelters open during the daytime. The warming shelter on Lincoln Street operates from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
