What does home mean to the world??

It means family, joy, happiness, comfort and love. The importance of home is spending time with your family. Family is not only people who are blood related. It can be step parents, foster parents or friends. Anything you love is family. An animal like a dog or cat is family. If you care about someone you may consider them like family. Also you can consider home to be anywhere, it can be in any country so long as you are happy. Where you feel comfort and happiness, you will feel safe, that’s a home. When you see a poor person on the street, this makes you feel sad, mad, upset. I’m writing this because if I win I get to donate money to a charity and if I don’t win 10 dollars will still go to Habitat for Humanity. I know a person who comes to my house every week to ask for money every time, I feel so bad for them. They don’t have a place to sleep. They sleep on the streets and it's really dangerous. Especially dangerous in the winter, people die from the cold, it's not only adults but kids and babies. Jewish people are supposed to give ten percent of the money they make to tzedakah or sponsor something or do charity work at a homeless shelter. I am writing this to say that if I win 30000$ I will give it all to Chai Lifeline as they have been a tremendous support for me and my family while my father was sick and after he passed away. They are the most amazing group of people and they do so much for so many families and I want them to continue helping others.
