TJ & Alie's Wedding

Alie & TJ had their first romantic moment in Ithaca, NY at Cascadilla Falls and just yesterday they got engaged right there. They have had many ups & downs in their relationship facing challenges that most of us can never comprehend, but they are fighters and persevered. Not only have they gotten through a lot, they've made it through together. Now they want to be together for life.

They are two incredible homeless friends of mine. TJ works & Alie has been searching for a job, but with the cost of living in Ithaca, NY being so expensive, they are forced to live in an outdoor shelter in a tent city known as The Jungle. Neither drink excessively or do drugs but just suffer from extreme poverty. Their love for each other is beautiful and gives them both incredible hope & joy. As Alie has put it to me, TJ's love lifts her up like helium out of this hell. Please help them fund their wedding because they currently have no finances to do so. We have a venue donated but they need help renting a tuxedo, dress, DJ, wedding cake, etc. Your generosity, kindness & love are greatly appreciated.

Check out this video from Invisible People with more of their story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=65&v=bpMOH2XHEuY. They were asked what their 3 wishes would be, and TJ's last wish is to have enough money to have an awesome, small wedding. Please help make that happen!
