Her first home

Once upon a time there was a girl who had no home and stayed at a shelter. She had a mom, dad and a brother named Jack. Anna thought: "I have a perfect life, I go to school, I have friends and a family". But there was one thing that Anna did not have .. a house. Not like most of us she did not own or experienced the feeling of a home. Since Anna was born she was living in a shelter. Over time she got used to it, but sometimes she still felt a bit sad not being in a home she owns. What was taken for granted by the other kids, was a just a dream for her. Anna loved nature it calmed her down and welcomed her as if it was her home. One day after school Anna’s parents told Anna and her brother Jack that someone donated about 1 million dollars to the Habitat of Humanity Canada and they received a call that they were able to find a affordable home for Anna and her family. Anna and Jack were so happy they told everyone they knew. Lots of people helped them packing bags and boxes. and Anna said: "This is truly the best experience of my life!".
