Home

Home isn’t just a word, a structure or four walls and a roof. It’s where I feel safe. It’s the place where I stay cozy and warm as the rain bangs against my roof. It’s the place where I feel like I can be me, with nobody to judge me. It’s the place where I snuggle up on the couch with my family when we watch movies and stuff our mouths with popcorn on a Friday night. It's where my guinea pigs squeak so loud that you can never forget when it’s their dinner time. It’s the place that I think of when I walk home from school on a cold snowy afternoon and fresh hot cocoa that awaits me. It’s where love and joy fill the air with warmth . My home is where I feel loved. My home is the delicious smell of homemade food. My home is where my little sister hugs me. My home is happiness. Everyone deserves a place where they can be themselves, where they feel safe and loved, where they can stay cozy and warm, where they can make memories. Habitat for humanity is helping families create homes. Create memories. Create happiness.
