Dear Friend,
I’m writing to you with a heavy heart and a fire in my chest.
My husband, Officer Chance Bretches, was supposed to finally get his day in
court in June.
After years of waiting. After months of preparation. After endless stress and
sleepless nights…
We were finally supposed to clear his name.
But now we’re facing another devastating delay—and another wave of legal
expenses we simply can’t afford on our own.
That’s why I’m humbly asking:
Will you make a donation today to help Chance keep fighting for justice?

We can’t make it through these next six months without your support.
My husband’s trial has now been pushed back until DECEMBER.
That’s another six months of anxiety for our family.
Another six months of uncertainty and confusion for our kids.
Another six months of wondering whether my husband—the father of my children,
the protector of our home, the man who spent his life protecting others—is
going to spend years behind bars for doing his job.
I’m sorry. I know this probably isn’t the kind of email you want to open today.
But I don’t know what else to do except speak from my heart.
Because the people who are supposed to stand with law enforcement have
abandoned my husband.
If you haven’t heard Chance’s story before, please let me explain.
My husband served with honor in the Austin Police Department.
Back in 2020, Austin was rocked by chaos in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
What started as peaceful protests quickly turned violent. Protestors pelted
officers with frozen water bottles, rocks, and fireworks. Police vehicles were
set on fire. Businesses were looted. A rioter was even caught with a Molotov
cocktail.
It was a dangerous, lawless time—and the city was on the verge of collapse.
On the third night of unrest, Chance and his fellow officers were deployed to
control a violent, out-of-control mob that had blocked a major highway and
surrounded the Austin Police Department’s downtown headquarters.
Chance followed his training and used department-issued beanbag
rounds—non-lethal crowd control tools—to protect lives and restore order.
He did exactly what he was trained and trusted to do.
But after a radical new District Attorney, José Garza, was elected, everything
changed.
Instead of prosecuting the violent rioters who endangered innocent lives,
Garza launched an anti-police crusade—reopening cases against officers like
Chance years after the events had passed.
Now my husband is facing felony charges and up to 99 years in prison… for
doing his job during one of the most dangerous weekends Austin has ever seen.

This is political. Pure and simple.
DA Garza is backed by far-left groups that want to tear down law
enforcement—and he’s made it clear he’ll go after as many officers as it takes
to make a name for himself.
Chance is just one of his targets.
But my husband is not a criminal.
He’s a good man. A good officer. A loving husband. A devoted father.
He has given everything to protect our community. And now he’s been left to
fend for himself against a politically motivated DA who is determined to ruin
his life.
And every time we think we’re close to justice, the system finds a new way to
delay it.
But we’re not giving up. We’re going to fight this until my husband is free.
And I’m begging you—please don’t give up on us now.
We can’t afford to wait until December to raise the funds we need to keep this
legal fight going.
We’ve already drained our savings. The bills keep coming. And with the trial
pushed back another six months, the financial pressure is only getting worse.
Will you please chip in today to support Chance’s legal defense?
<[link removed]>
Every dollar makes a difference. And every act of generosity reminds us that
we’re not alone.
YES, I’LL HELP CHANCE FIGHT BACK
<[link removed]>
Your support means more than I could ever express in words.
It’s not just about saving my husband. It’s about standing up for every police
officer who’s been thrown to the wolves for doing their job.
If they can do this to Chance, they can do it to any officer in America.
Thank you for standing with us when so many have turned their backs.
With hope and gratitude,
Kimberly Bretches
Wife of Officer Chance Bretches
