Lajna Imaillah sponsors Christmas Wishlist at Broward Outreach Center

Holiday fever is in the year! It is that time of the year where millions of people are engaged in gift exchanges with their loved ones. However, there are some for whom the holiday season is marked with a sense of emptiness and as they lack the resources to engage in such gift exchanges.

There are millions of people around the country who will not be able to celebrate Christmas as they lack even the basic necessities of life; they are homeless and are struggling to cope with life and the ensuing challenges of homelessness. Some find themselves at homeless shelters and centers which assist them to cope and rehabilitate.
