What is Home?

whatisHOME?

This month we hear from Jill, a Window of Kindness volunteer about what home means to her:

"Home is safety. It’s a feeling rather than a place. It’s me feeling like I can relax and be my truest self without judgment or disrespect. It’s when I wake up first thing in the morning and don’t have an immediate thought that I need to do something to protect myself. I’ve lived in houses and apartments with people where I was physically sheltered and not physically, mentally or emotionally safe, and those were never my home. My partner and my children are home. With them I am safe and loved”

Thank you, Jill!
