Jake lived in NY, Josh in Boston—both in serious, toxic relationships, chasing happiness through online dating. One swipe left, one long drive for Jake, and everything changed. Love at first sight. Moved in after a week, engaged three months later. Married on Valentine’s Day in a tower overlooking Jake’s city. Now heading to Boston, embracing spontaneity, finishing college, saving for our future—and dreaming of somewhere warmer to build a family.

Our favorite memory is still being made—the whole of our relationship. Choosing one moment is like capturing lightning. We’ve shared laughter, tears, battles—playful and deep. From spiritual awakenings to late-night Mario Kart, road trips, dinners, tickle wars, and soul-baring talks—every second is part of a love story too rich for just one page. And yes, Josh wins the back rub crown.

$20,000 will help us buy a home with a foundation of concrete, not creaky ceilings, built on unwavering love, resilience, and a bond that never breaks. A place where we show up for each other through every trial, where love drowns out fear, and walls echo with laughter and hope. We’ll raise fiercely kind, curious kids who stand for what’s right. This is about building a future shaped by love and rooted in something lasting.
