How did your love story begin?

John and I met in 2013 as friends when he became my support while I healed as a survivor of human trafficking. We made our relationship official in 2016 and faced breakups, homelessness, a car crash, and many hardships together. We married in 2025, and after my spinal injury in 2026, he never left my side. Through every storm, we have chosen each other and continue building our future together.

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

My favorite memory Us is from last summer, when we drove along the Pacific Coast Highway, taking in the beautiful ocean views, singing along to our favorite music, and simply enjoying our time together. Another unforgettable moment was getting married last summer. Now, I’m excited to create new memories as I fly to Atlanta, Georgia, for my next adventure.

What would you do with $20,000?

If my husband and I won $20,000, we would take a special vacation together to create lasting memories and enjoy quality time as newlyweds. We would use the remaining money toward purchasing a home, helping us build a strong foundation and begin an exciting new chapter together as we start our future and create new adventures side by side
