Why HOME is Everything

Why Home is Everything to Me Right now there are some people who think they ‘’don't have everything" and that just having a house is nothing really. But they don’t know that there are a lot of other people out in the world that have almost nothing. There are families that are out on the streets all because they can’t afford to buy a house for themselves and for their families. So they are forced to sleep on the streets. Cold and scared, never knowing what will happen next. Always hoping that one day, they will sleep safe and sound in a warm cozy bed. A home is knowing that they can survive to the next day safe. A home is a place where you are safe. A home is a place where you can be cozy and warm. A home is a place where you can rest after a long day. Home is where memories are made. Home is EVERYTHING. And now thanks to Habitat for Humanity, families and children can have a chance to have a home, to be safe and warm. And make new memories, good ones. Thank you.
