A Place to Call Home

Handful of joy and laughter Outstanding, loving people Meaningful place where memories are made Entirely welcoming Home is a place where I feel comforted and warm. A place to cry, smile and laugh with others. Home is safe, I do not need to be scared. I can be myself, and no one will judge me for it. Home is a shelter for family to live in. To share stories, good ones, and bad ones. Home is not just a building, with four walls and a roof, it tells stories of what people have gone through. Everyone is welcome in this calm, peaceful space. Every home is unique, different in many ways. I love my home; it is a very wondrous place. In my home, I feel loved, and I am so very thankful that I have a place to call home. I thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for giving everyone a safe, magnificent home, perfect for all their needs. Now I know that everyone can have a place to call home, just like me.
