Home.

Home. A home can be many things, but for me, my house is in Canada. But my home is in Mexico. In Mexico with my family, friends, food, culture. My house may be in Canada, but my home is in Mexico and inside my heart all the time. So even when I’m far away from them, I’ll still have them in my heart. Even though I haven't gone to see my family in a few years because of covid, I'll still have them in my heart, even though I’m far away from them. I'll never forget them, and I’ll always love them. And Mexico feels like home to me. You can always make your house a home when you fill it up with the people you love and care about. Your house can become more than just a roof and walls. You can make your house a home, but a home can never become a house. It makes me sad to see people who don’t have a house to make a home. That's why I wrote this, to have a chance to win the money for the people who don’t have a house and use the money to help build some houses for them. For that one day they’ll have a house to call home and be safe and warm.
