Thanksgiving and Christmas can be particularly challenging for our residents as many of them miss their families deeply. That said, we do our best to create an environment here full of love, compassion, and joy while acknowledging that for most of our residents, this holiday season will feel different than the past. Thanks to many volunteers and their earnest effort, our campus has turned into a winter wonderland! Our women and children get to enjoy Christmas decorations in the comfort of their homes, and it is likely that some of them are experiencing this for the first time.
