The meaning of home

Home to me is family. You can have a big house and fancy furniture but without family it’s just a house. Home is family, friends and the time you spend with your loved ones. Home means that even if you are struggling, if you have people that love you back you are the wealthiest person I know. Home is a feeling. A feeling of being loved and feeling that your loved ones are near. it could be a smell that you recognize or a bed that you feel safe in. ether way home is the moments and memories you make and the stuff you feel along the way. A house is a right The right to have a roof over your head and water running in your sink. For many people this is not the case and for a lot of people a house is the only way for them to feel at home. This is what habitat for humanity is trying to solve. By stopping the problem where it starts they decrease the amount of people on the streets. They can do this because their system has a cycle of money put into houses that grows continuously. That is what home means to me.
