A Loving Home

We all know that there are homeless people out in Canada, and this story is about a fiction family that starts with nothing but works there way up and life only gets better. Enjoy😊 This mother had two children but every day they only had a little bit of money and did not have a big meal of food. They lived in Ottawa in an abandoned building. The water in the building had some really bad chemicals. They were bad for you and could make you sick, so they got water from the side of a hotel. Every day people see them, and they were lucky because it was very rare that they got money from people when they were driving. It was a really hot day, and they were boiling until a nice guy saw them and he also saw a McDonald's and bought them a milkshake, and they were so happy. Three days later, the family found out that a company was going around called “Habitat for Humanity Canada”, but they didn't know what the company meant, but they had a good feeling. They found someone who was working for the company, and he said to them, "Do you want a place to live and love?" The mom said, “Yes.” and then the man said, “Get in the car and we will be there soon.” They got in the car, and it took about 20 minutes to get there. When they got there, they saw so many homeless people in need of help. It took about an hour to get to an office. The man there was pleased to see them, and he got them a very small home with two bedrooms, and they were happy. The man said, “Your house will be ready in 6 days.” 6 days later: “I am so excited to see our new house,” said one of the children. “I am too!” said the mom. They saw the house and they were happier than they were before, and they lived happily ever after. The End
