Dear Friend,

My name is Kimberly Bretches. I’m not a professional fundraiser. I’m not a politician. I’m not someone who ever imagined I’d be writing an email like this.

But today… I’m a wife who’s desperate.

I’m a mother who’s terrified.

And I’m begging you—please take a few minutes to read this.

I never thought we’d be in this position, but I’m asking with all my heart—please help us fight for my husband, Chance. A donation today could mean everything.

Chance is an officer with a heart of gold. He’s the kind of man who runs toward danger when everyone else is running away. He has protected strangers, comforted victims, and served our community with pride.

But now, the justice system he has faithfully upheld is turning against him.

In just a few weeks, Chance will stand trial for doing his job. For responding to a dangerous situation. For protecting lives.

He’s being targeted not because he failed in his duty—but because he wore a badge in a political climate where that has become a crime in itself.

If the verdict doesn’t go our way, I could lose him forever. Our kids could lose their daddy.

I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. I’ve watched this man I love so deeply—this strong, humble, good-hearted man—carry the weight of the world on his shoulders as he prepares to fight for his freedom.

He doesn’t deserve this.

He’s not the villain the prosecution is trying to paint. He’s a father who reads bedtime stories and teaches our son how to ride a bike. He’s the man who holds my hand at night when I cry because I don’t know what the future holds.

He’s our provider. Our protector. Our hero.

And now, I’m asking—will you be his?

We’ve already spent more than we could afford just trying to keep up. Legal fees, court prep, time off work… it’s breaking us. I’ve cut every corner. Sold what I could. Cried more tears than I thought a person could cry.

But now I’m out of options.

I never wanted to ask strangers for help. But this isn’t about pride anymore—it’s about survival.

If you’ve ever backed the blue…

If you’ve ever prayed for an officer’s safety when you heard sirens…

If you believe in fairness, in justice, in standing up when good people are being torn down…

Please. Please help us.

Every single dollar goes directly toward Chance’s legal defense. We are racing the clock to make sure he has the support he needs when he stands in that courtroom. Because the other side? They’re not playing fair. They’re not holding back.

They want to destroy him.

But we’re not going down without a fight. Not if I have anything to say about it. Not if there are still people like YOU out there who care enough to step in when it matters most.

Please—if you’ve ever thought about helping someone who wears the badge…

This is the time.

We’re not just fighting for Chance’s freedom. We’re fighting for our family. We’re fighting for the truth. We’re fighting for every officer out there who could be next.

Click here to donate now and stand with Chance before it’s too late.

I’ll never forget your kindness. I’ll never stop fighting for my husband. And I hope—more than anything—that we won’t have to do it alone.

With all my heart,

Kimberly Bretches
Wife of Officer Chance Bretches
