The Meaning of Home

What makes a house a home is lots of things but some people have some very special things that make a house a home and other people may not have a home or they have a small home with really bad furniture,windows,doors etc. and my other 2 smaller topics which is why everyone needs a home and what makes a home important to me. Firstly,what makes a house a home is not just the building in general.It’s what’s inside the house but not furniture and stuff.It’s memories and family and special stuff like stuff that’s been in their family for generations or artifacts.It’s also somewhere that’s warm and cozy and where you feel safe and the things around you that you love like family and things that meanings in your life. Then,why everyone needs a home is because there's approximately 1.6 billion homeless people around the world and they have to sit outside in the cold every night for maybe the rest of their lives.But having a home gives you security,privacy,places to keep your belongings.Also,somewhere to sleep every night and somewhere to leave in the morning and to be able to return to each evening. Also,what makes my home important to me is that I have lots of family to feel comfortable and safe with.I’m also just so grateful that I have a home and a family that protects me.And,it provides me safety and it’s also a place to build memories and to keep them safe in our heart’s. In conclusion,everyone deserves a home even though they might be really old so they wouldn’t have the home for that long but it’s still good to have a home and you should check out the website “habitat for humanity”and see all the families that are struggling and you could help them by donating even if you decide to donate one dollar because every cent counts.
