He quite his job and started cargo van business so I could always be with him, because I am disabled.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We were in high school and there was a guy that was a little obsessed with me. He didn’t get the hint that I wasn’t interested, so I asked Lito to pretended to be my boyfriend for the day. At the end of the day he asked me to officially be his girlfriend.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?The one where he literally saved my life. Because he saw how different I was acting and didn’t like what was happening to me, he made an appointment with my doctor for the same day. That day I was diagnosed with a life long brain condition that he now helps me mange. This was 12 years ago. We started dating 25 years ago. He is truly my best friend.
What would you do with $20,000?We started a cargo van business because of all my medical issues. This allowed me to be on the road with Lito 100% of the time. I would love to take the 20k and put it on the loan we took out on the van so Lito doesn’t have to stress and drive crazy hours to see somewhat of a profit. It would be my way of helping him as he has helped me over the past 12 years with my condition. I use to be able to contribute to our household, now I just feel like a burden. I wish I could do more for us.
