The Importance of Home

A home for me is a place that is safe and secure. Home is the place you will always come back to. Without a home, there won't be any place one could come home to. There are many people all across Canada that don't have a home, something that many of us take for granted. Our home is the place where we spend most of our time with family, have fun and play together. There are many reasons why our home is extremely important. A home provides you shelter from the elements like snowstorms, windstorms, rain, snow etc. Without a home, one would be left facing nature's fury and can be in harm’s way. Home also provides heat and comfort, in extreme weather conditions. Home also provides a safe place to stay in and sleep. Without a home, there won’t be any place to sleep. In a house, one can sleep comfortably on a bed. Without a home, one won’t have anywhere to keep valuables safe. A home is extremely important now, more than ever because of the pandemic. Many people don’t have a clean place to live in. If they don’t have a clean and private place to live there won't be anywhere safe to go. There are many people that have gotten COVID-19 because they didn’t have a safe place to stay. It is extremely important to have a home now more than ever. We should all be grateful for the home we have. There are many people who are suffering without a home. They don’t have a safe place to go to. Many people are roaming around the streets, begging for money, wishing they could have a home, just like we all do. They pray everyday, just to have what we take for granted.
