Connect How did your love story begin?

Our story began 21 years ago when Trino was 20 and I was 25. he was a single father raising his two-year-old daughter on his own. At the time, I was struggling with addiction, but Trino never gave up on me. Through every challenge, he stood by my side and helped me find sobriety. Together, we grew stronger with each passing year. This year, we’re celebrating 21 years of love Our story is proof that love, commitment, and believing in someone even when they can’t believe in themselves

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

Our favorite memory isn’t a single moment—it’s the journey. From building a family together to overcoming life’s challenges, every step that has strengthened our bond over the past 21 years. But if we had to choose one it would be watching our daughter grow into the amazing woman she is today. Raising her together has been our greatest joy and accomplishment.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning $20,000 would allow us to continue sharing our story on a larger scale. For 21 years, we’ve shown that love can overcome adversity, addiction, and life’s challenges. We would use the funds to grow our platform, support projects that promote LGBTQ+ visibility, and create opportunities to inspire others to live authentically. Most importantly, we’d invest in our family and the future we’re still building together.
