What Home Means to Me

To me a home is not just brick walls and a roof, it's a place where you feel safe and happy. In that statement, I said home to me means to live with a partner, family, friends, and kids. A good home means to protect you, your partner, family, friends, and your kids from rain ,fire ,wind, and storms. To me a home has love,comfort, respect, delight, joy, and friends. While you and your family are playing a game and your mother is cooking delightful food for your dinner as a family, you have joy and happiness, but while you have joy and glee you forget all the people who don't have a home and are suffering outside with no food. Habitat helps to create homes for people without a warm and safe place to live. A good home means to have happiness and to be safe, and if you are not safe in what you call your home, it isn’t your home. What you need in a home is a good roof, heat, and food so you are happy.
