What is Home?

To me, my home is a family home because my great-grandpa built the house when he got back from war and had a family. Then he passed it down to my grandpa, who gave it to my dad, who built a new porch, so now I am living in a house that may be my house someday. I come home from hockey, soccer, basketball, and school. I come home to the same lovely house every day after every event in my life. There is beautiful furniture in my house that some people don't have because they might have kids that need medical care. We are very fortunate to have that luxury because our parents go to work every week so they can take care of us. I feel very safe in my home, but some people don't have a lot of money and can't afford to live in a safe house like my house. Houses are very expensive, so people need to work and spend 500 hours of volunteering to help build their homes. After they spend 500 hours of volunteering they get to live a safe and happy life. Please donate money to Habitat for Humanity, because you may need Habitat for Humanity later in your life. I hope you enjoyed it.
