We've done the work to build a safe, loving space—rooted in trust, continual growth (together + individually), + open, honest communication.
We would like to thank you for supporting the PDX queers 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 met the modern way - on Hinge. We matched Jan 1, 2024, and went on 3 dates within the 1st week. After 2 weeks, we celebrated a birthday, grieved the loss of a pet, went long-distance for a moment, and enjoyed meaningful conversations. We quickly learned how to support, trust, show up for, and love each other. Life hasn't always been easy, but choosing each other felt natural. The love we’ve built in such a short time still feels wild and truly unbelievable.
What would you do with $20,000?As an LGBTQ+ couple, starting a family comes with unique challenges—especially financial ones. This $20,000 would help us begin our journey to parenthood sooner, while easing the burden of costly processes. It would also support our dream of a small wedding and a future home. Ultimately, it’s a chance to invest in the foundation and future of our growing family.
