The Meaning of HOME

Love and happiness are at home but what does home mean to me? Love and happiness is not the only thing that I know about home, it's about caring, respect, honesty, courage, wisdom, humility, and bravery and more; those are all the things that the family has. But there are still a lot of things that I know about the meaning of home. The cost of the homes are very expensive and the people that are homeless couldn’t afford it and the foods are very expensive and the homeless are very poor they couldn’t afford a house or car and feed their families with good food. There were 235,000 homeless people in 2024 but in 2025 there will still be 235,000 homeless people in Canada. It is a big problem for Canada because the homelessness increases or stays the same number of homelessness every year because of the cost of all the houses and food. The only solution to this problem now is to lower the prices and give the homeless good clothes and money so they could afford food because the homeless people need it or they will get cold and hungry and some of the homeless people die from hunger and some of the people are so mean to the homeless and poor and we are feeling bad for the homeless people so that is our only choice or if there are other choices for the homeless. Thank you habitat for humanity and then I'm thankful for my warm bed ,warm rooms ,and my Mom and Dad.
