HOME SWEET HOME

It's quite an amazing undertaking, and I'm so touched that all of these people are realizing that everyone deserves to have a home; a place to feel safe, even if it's the only place in the world; a place to lay your head down at night and wake up in the morning without having to worry about finding temporary shelter. A place that you can know will be there for you, to give you the rest and comfort you need to build a life for yourself and those that you love.

The Twin Cities is doing something about their housing issue, and it's a great start.
