One unplanned double tinder date and a lifetime of memories. We overcame 3 years of a chronic illness, and built a relationship with God.
We would like to thank you for supporting Jesse Vallas in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Jesse & I met back in 2021, when I was stationed here in the military. What started off as a wing man, turned into the best night of my life. The connection was undeniable and we have spent every day with each other since! Shortly after meeting I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis, which meant months at the hospital and unlimited bed rest. Jesse has never lost faith or left my side. The diagnosis has so much control over our lives, but it will never alter our love.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?I can definitely speak on the behalf of us both when I say the moment we let God enter our relationship. Not only did he answer all our prayers, but he taught us new depths of love. He healed every aspect of our lives, and for that we are eternally grateful.
What would you do with $20,000?Chronic illness not only drains one physically and mentally, but is very heavy on one’s bank account. We have spent thousands on tests and treatments over the years, and will have to for the rest of our lives. We want to start a small business to not only help others like us struggling out there, but to remind them they are not alone!
