ALT What does having a home mean to you? Home is a safe space where I can relax, be happy and feel safe. It is also a space to think. It is also a door to which I have my own key.
She also told us what her favourite room at home is.
#18KeysProject
ALT What is your favourite room at home? My small garden (my outdoor room). Stepping out in the early morning - winter or summer - gives me a sense of hope.
