Home

235,000 people on average in Canada are homeless. Think of the things they can't do and can't experience. They don't get the chance to experience the smell of fresh baking. The warmth of the fireplace. That’s what home is to me. Home is anywhere where I feel safe. Where I'm with my family and my friends. Where I'm having fun, where I’m laughing, where I wake up. That's home to me. Each room tells a story. The kitchen, a place where mom bakes cookies and supper. The living room, a place where we eat freshly popped popcorn while watching a movie. Your bedroom, the place to get ready for the amazing day ahead. Home is where you're safe and loved. Home could be anywhere or anything.
