How did your love story begin?

Our love story began back in 2018. I had just gotten out of an emotionally abusive relationship, and he had just ended one of his own. We met through an app (crazy, I know), and from the moment we connected, we were inseparable. Just two months into dating, he asked me to move with him to Florida—and saying yes was the best decision we’ve ever made together.

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

My favorite memories as a couple are two moments that changed everything. First, finding out his birthday is the same day my mom passed away—I had been asking her for a sign, and in that moment, I felt peace and knew he was the one. Second, the day we became parents. Our son came into our lives exactly when we needed him most. He brought light, healing, and a love that’s deeper than anything we imagined.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, we’d put a down payment on the home our son and dogs deserve and set aside some for his future education. After moving for love, healing from the past, and facing challenges together, we’ve worked hard to build a better future. Our family deserves stability, love, and a home to grow in.
