Our love story began online in late 2019, one of us in Michigan and the other in New York. By early 2020, as the world shut down, we were falling for each other through phone calls, texts, and video chats, learning each other’s voices, stories, and quirks. After Jason moved to Atlanta, Brandon made the trips down, even just for weekends. Our first date? Taco Bell on the steps of a downtown building. No frills, just laughter, connection, and something real in the middle of all the chaos.

While our relationship is filled with tangible memories and loads of artwork to show where our love takes us, our favorite memory that we have made so far is our trip through Europe in the Summer of 2024. We began in Paris, made our way to Barcelona, explored our way into Italy, and finished back in Paris. Not only was this a dream for the both of us, our relationship showed strengths in ways that we never even knew. The trajectory of our relationship changed after making those memories.

We’d use $20,000 to build our future. Whether that means saving for a wedding, a home, or just creating a little breathing room for each of us to chase our dreams. We’ve built a life together over four years with love and patience, now we’d love the chance to build the next chapter with a little more momentum. A little security would give us the freedom to focus less on the “how” and more on the “what’s possible.” We’ve built the foundation and now we’re ready to grow.
