A PLACE TO CALL HOME

What does home means to me? Everyday as someone with no home walks by your home, they feel the need of having a roof over their head and a place to call home. Everybody should have a home and a roof over their head for their family. Building a home… Buying a house is a very big thing, 23% of the population is financially unstable, buying a house can be very difficult and stressful. Getting everything in your budget is very difficult if people are struggling to buy a house. It's much more difficult to buy furniture, decor, etc. Making your house feel like a home is even harder. For some people, they don’t feel like they're in their home. That's why it's important to create a home. Creating a home is a priority that we are all trying to do. Can Not having a home affect your health?.. Staying outside in the cold can get you sick and weak. Some people might not be able to find food, and they’d starve. Starvation can lead to a lot of problems and diseases. All seasons can impact your health. Such as Winter, because it can get too cold to stay outside. Summer because it can get too hot. Spring, since it rains, which causes a higher chance for you to get sick. How does air pollution influence your health? Air pollution can cause diseases like lung cancer asthma, etc. This is how not having a home affects our health. The feeling of having a home… Some people don't have a house and want to have that feeling of feeling safe and happy in their home. Habitat for humanity is helping people get a house to make it their home. Feeling safe and protected in your home is essential. Everyone should have a home where they’re in a healthy environment. Experience it yourself to call your house your home, And that's what habitat for humanity is for.
