Through loss, recovery, laughter, and love, we've become each other's greatest support and biggest blessing.
We would like to thank you for supporting Grizz and ali 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.
Our love story began on TikTok when Ali met Grizz, known online as Comedy Elmo. What started as a friendship between two people living on opposite coasts became daily conversations, endless laughter, and unwavering support through life's challenges. After months of building a connection online, they finally met in person on September 9, 2024. We quickly realized we had found not only love, but also the family and friendship we had both been missing.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?All the nights we spent comparing our life stories and uncovering one unbelievable connection after another. The more we talked, the more similarities we found—our mothers shared the same middle name, family names repeated across generations, Grizz's last name is Abel while Ali grew up on Abel Lake, and we even arrived at our first meeting driving Chevy Blazers. Every discovery left us asking, "What are the odds?" and made our love story feel even more special.
What would you do with $20,000?After overcoming so many challenges, $20,000 would help us build the future we've worked so hard for. We'd pay down debt, strengthen our financial foundation, invest in growing our content, and put money toward our wedding. More than anything, it would provide stability and peace of mind, allowing us to spend less time worrying about bills and more time creating, laughing, and making memories together.
