Home Is Where The Heart Is

Home is I play and feel safe. At home I play Minecraft and my guitar. I love my home because that is where my family is. We had a house fire which made me realize that home isn't about what you have but who you have. Walking through the smoky ruins sent shivers down my spine like ice. We are now rebuilding a really big house that makes me feel spoiled because others do not have a nice house or even one at all. I often think of people who can't feed their small families. Imagine a world where there is no more hunger or suffering from the cold. I think we could all agree that it would be a hundred times better than this one. I believe if we all work together we could make this dream a reality. There would be no more need for homeless shelters or food pantries. I hope my ten dollars will help make my dream a reality. I believe this may even be the next step in reconciliation. I want my 10 dollars to be put to full potential. This program is awesome because the idea that no one would need to fear the night or the cold is the thing all people could agree on. The best part of home is my family. With my family, I always feel safe because I always am.
