Meaning of a Home

This is what a home means to me: A roof over our heads. It keeps you safe from a storm. Your house keeps you warm and cozy. You can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the table for you. You have a door to lock at night. You feel safe when you are sleeping. You have family coming over for holiday dinners. Family gathering`s. You can have friends come over for sleepovers and birthday parties. You can watch TV with your family and friends. Habitat for Humanity knows that a safe, decent, affordable home is fundamental to a family forging a path out of poverty. In a Habitat house, families find better health, more financial freedom, independence and a stability and security that far too many families simply can't achieve without a helping hand.
