“What does home mean to you?”

“What does home mean to you?” Google says home means “the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.” but that’s not what I think. Hi, I'm Harper and I am here to talk about what Home means to me. A home is way more than a house with doors and windows to me. My home is where I can go and be myself without anyone judging me. A home is a place where someone can cry or be happy and it's still a safe place to go to. I have two homes but no matter which one I'm at it's still my safe and happy place. It’s sad to think that some people don’t have homes. That’s why I wanted to join this contest and dotante the 30,000 dollars for the people who can’t afford to have a home. I hate it, I hate thinking about all the homeless people. I get so upset. That's why I'm so crazy grateful for homeless shelters so they at least have a warm place to sleep for a couple of nights. So yeah i think google is very wrong about what i a home means a home is much more than that.
