How long have you guys been together for? Uh about 3 years now. We met when I was at the shelter and she came to me with some brownies. She was like, "You want some brownies?" And I'm like, "Yeah." For my birthday.

We've been together ever since then. You brought brownies down to where? [music] The Dorothy Day The homeless shelter? Yeah.

So, you spent your birthday weekend by handing out brownies to homeless people? [music] Yeah. She's got a real kind of heart. She know that everybody need a second [music] chance.

I got hit by a vehicle when I was seven. I was in a coma. Thought I would die, but I'm not. I didn't die.

I have What's it called? I got a disability. And it's hard for me to work. We just take it one day at a time, but we stick together and we do everything together.

She make sure that I take my medication on time, I go to my appointments, and I help her just like she helped me. So, what's you guys' dream?

Yeah. Deal or no deal? Thank you so much that we here at [music] Thanksgiving with the Lil' Jon Quest family and [singing] Reggie and Macy are able to join. This is all possible due to your [music] your grace and your presence.

Reggie is someone who has so deeply touched our lives lately and we just want to pray that he will have a lot more stability [music and singing] in his life in God's name. Amen. I also have one more thing. [music] Aw, thank you.

God bless you, man. [music] If anything else, God I got my back. When we feel like we're really alone, God is always going to be there.
