We reconnected and blended our families into one. We are hopelessly in love with each other and supportive of everything each other does.
We would like to thank you for supporting The Helms 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.
We were two oblivious kids who had no clue of each other's feelings when we met in high school. Never getting the courage to share those thoughts, we went separate ways for 12 years. After all that time, we reconnected on Facebook, both with children from previous relationships, but that didn't stop fate. We became each other's best friends while coping with some tough situations, and realized that we couldn't do it without each other. That was in 2012, and we've been together since.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?It's really very hard to pinpoint one favorite moment. But we blended our family together and accepted each other's children, while also having one together. We've made it through some rough situations but always figure it out and make it through. We are strong and resilient together and no one can break that.
What would you do with $20,000?We would have a nice family vacation and pay off some debt to lift some of the stresses off our shoulders. We both work so much that we don't have the opportunities to enjoy our 6 kids and 2 grandchildren and would love to have a chance to have more memorable experiences with them all.
