A Home

Every human on earth relies on a home to thrive. So many people have lost their homes for various reasons. And so, children and parents are exposed to the great outdoors. Firstly, a home is a shelter that shields you from the harsh weather outside. Around the world, families struggle to stay on their feet due to their lack of protection from the powerful wilderness. Many individuals have faced the grim and brutal winter storms and frostbite. Since many people are out on the streets we need to know how it was caused. Secondly, everyone's situation is different, and the most commonly known causes for homelessness are poverty (under the average money) or addiction. So in cases like these, making clothing and food donations can really help. If you’ve ever experienced being homeless, you know it's tough. One of the hardest things is trying to maintain yourself. Often you don't come out of it. (unless you're very lucky) And that’s why helping out people in need really makes a difference in our community. Lastly, humans all around the world struggle to find fresh water and food, clean clothes and homes. So as I mentioned earlier, donating to charities and shelters really can save lives. Helping our cause makes such a huge impact on the lives of millions we are trying to save. We all need a sustainable shelter to survive. In conclusion, we all love to curl up at home and be cozy, but imagine not having a home. Everyone on Earth is deserving of shelter, so with that, know that the tiniest donation makes the biggest difference.
