Home Means Freedom

A home is so much more than most people think. It doesn't matter where you are and who you are, everyone deserves a home. A lot of adults grew up in places where there would attack and even war, for myself I’m talking about my mother she grew up in war and her life was affected from it even, so she always tells me all the great memories she had with her and her siblings, and she rarely mentioned about what downsides she had to face, I think that's important because even through all that happened she was still happy because she was blessed with a loving family and a home. A home is somewhere that should be greatly appreciated. I know that a home can be anywhere you feel safe and comforted , it makes you feel grateful and you're glad to be there. Some people think differently but I think that is all that is important to be qualified as a home. I don't think that it's fair that not all people are able to get homes for reasons that are not justified, if you're an immigrant getting a home is a lot more hard because the government doesn't provide enough support for them 10 times harder just, so they can provide money for themselves and their family there are a lot of struggles that immigrants have already like: not understanding the main language spoken and if you can't afford a house than in colder weather it's more likely to get sick walking in the snow. To sum up what I've said, I think that people who are fortunate to have homes should be very grateful because what might seem easy to them is very hard for others.
