How did your love story begin?

He was ready to give up on love and delete his dating profile — but fell asleep and missed it. I was a single mom to a six-month-old, focused on my daughter, but open to love. I messaged him that same night. That one moment changed everything. He didn’t run from my life — he stepped into it. We built a family, and in 2020, he officially adopted our daughter. Our story began with almost missing each other — and became everything we needed.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Just weeks into dating, we were talking on the couch when my baby — just starting to roll — got too close to the edge. Before I could move, he gently caught her and tucked her safely back without missing a beat in our conversation. That quiet moment told me everything: he saw her as his from the start. That’s the day I knew I wasn’t just falling in love — we were becoming a family.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won, we’d finally take time to reconnect — not just as parents, but as a couple. He works hard, we manage a home, and every dollar goes to bills and our daughter. There’s never room for a getaway, but we’d use this to make memories together as a family. After years of putting everyone else first, this would be our chance to breathe, bond, and just be us again — present, grateful, and together.
