We would like to thank you for supporting Tasnim M. Rahman 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.
Aslan and I met on Coffee Meets Bagel while I was a student in Tampa and he was working in Orlando. What started as a casual match quickly grew into something deep. Despite the distance, he’d drive to see me—sometimes every day of the week. Our personalities are very different, but we balance each other perfectly. Today, we’re married with three cats, a cozy home, and a love that’s grounded in growth, laughter, and showing up for one another—always.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory as a couple is adopting our first cat, Chestnut. She brought us closer, taught us responsibility, and opened our hearts to rescuing two more. Now, our home is filled with love, laughter, and the chaos of three cats. Chestnut marked the beginning of our little family, and caring for her showed us how deeply we could love—not just each other, but the lives we nurture together. We’re two cat-crazy people in love—with each other and our fur babies.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d use the $20,000 to furnish our home and make it even cozier for us and our three cats. A portion would go to supporting local cat rescues and sanctuaries—giving back to the community that helped us grow our little family. We’d also invest in meaningful experiences that reflect our bond, like a peaceful getaway or a project we can build together. It’s about love, comfort, and creating joy—for us and the lives we care for.
