What Home Means to Me

What Home Means to Me Home is a place where I can be myself. Home is a place where my parents and I cuddle up around the fireplace. Home is a place where I feel safe. Home is a place where I’m surrounded by those who love me and care for me. Home is a place where I feel like I belong. Home is a place where my family and I share laughs. Home is a place where my siblings and I have fun. Home is a place where I make memories with my family. Home is a place where I have a roof over my head, food on my plate and a comfortable bed to sleep in. Home is a place where I feel comfortable with myself. Home is a place where my parents make me yummy food to eat as we talk about how our day was. Home is a place of shelter. Home isn’t just four walls, and a roof, it’s a place where you make memories, a place where you can be yourself. Everyone deserves to have a place that they can call home. Everyone deserves to have a shelter where you have food on your plate, a comfy bed, a roof over your head and nice clean clothing. I am very grateful to Habitat for Humanity, for giving people a chance to have a home like this and I’m grateful for the home that I live in right now. No one deserves to suffer in the cold without a shelter. Habitat for Humanity helps those who need a “Hand up, not a handout!”
