Habitat for Humanity: Writing about Home

Home isn't built, it's made. The meaning of home is a site to help with people who don't have money for house and they help raise money to make houses and to help build a community for people to feel safe and they make a big difference in the world for others and me myself and I others are so happy to have somewhere to live and have food and water sometimes they will donate money to people who need it and they are currently running a contest I want to win so I can help build new communities for people like my family. Family is the most important thing that can happen to anyone the first sight they see the air that they breathe. What I think home is to me is somewhere people feel safe and comfortable and to make sure that they feel loved and cared for instead of abused of hurt and my home is cared for and loved by me and my family I love my home its made for people to feel safe and cared for instead of wrecking your home because others wouldn't do that with theirs they would love and care for their house and even if it isn't a real person it should be treated with respect LIKE a person. Home is supposed to be safe and loved for a person not neglected or hurt in any way shape or form and never physical. Most people don't know what others might be going through like myself I've moved at least 5 times to new school and houses we might lose the house we are in now but we are happy with the life we have now and the house keeping us shelter and having a place for food and beds and blankets and phones and TV and a place to sit we are very grateful for what and who we have. Home to me is a place where I can be safe and have no worries with life and I think for others the deserve a good life and good homes to life as they wish and be free to have a good home and to feel loved and I want to start to raise money for people how don't have a lot of money for houses and food to make sure they have somewhere to go at the end of the day. I think all people deserve homes all over the world and rebuild communities and new lives every day to love and cherish life and live its way home should be an option for everyone home isn't just a place like a house or a friends house or a beach house a home is somewhere where you feel safe loved and cherished like if your favorite place is the library you can call that home or somewhere where you love to be and have friends a family and siblings and like myself I have 5 siblings and all of them annoy me but I live with it and id never hate any of them at all they are important to me and my family to keep it going. Habitat for Humanity is important. It's like a family for all who have don't have one. They provide houses and food and water for people who don't have the stuff for living.
