Our love story isn't perfect; it's real, resilient, and full of laughter. We wouldn't trade it for anything.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lorene and Chris 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 at work during a time when life brought us together exactly when we needed it most. One of us was healing from an abusive relationship, and the other showed what patience, kindness, and unconditional support really look like. We became best friends before anything else, and that friendship grew into a love built on trust, laughter, and choosing each other every day.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our honeymoon in Pensacola Beach will always be our favorite memory. It wasn't about doing anything extravagant, it was about finally slowing down and soaking in the fact that we were husband and wife. Watching the sunsets, laughing over the little things, and simply enjoying each other's company reminded us that home isn't a place, it's wherever we're together.
What would you do with $20,000?$20,000 would give us breathing room. We'd pay down some medical debt, invest in our home, and save for our future together. It wouldn't just change our finances, it would give us the freedom to focus more on living life together and less on worrying about the next bill.
