Help 12-Year-Old Brock Rebuild His YouTube Dream Before His 13th Birthday

When 12-year-old Brock Nelson started filming himself eating his favorite foods on his iPhone, he had no idea what would happen next.

What began as a fun hobby turned into something incredible — a YouTube channel called “Bangin Wit Brock” that grew to over 80,000 subscribers in just one year!

People loved Brock’s realness, his laughter, and the joy he brought to something as simple as trying food. He filmed everything himself — no fancy cameras, no editing team, just a phone, a smile, and a big dream.

Then everything changed overnight.

Because Brock was only 12, YouTube (owned by Google) deleted his channel for being under the required age of 13.

All his videos. All his comments. All 80,000+ subscribers — gone.

He was devastated.

His parents, Harith and Kristine, were shocked to learn how far he had come. They were proud of his creativity but didn’t realize their son’s videos had gone viral. They both work full-time and had no idea their son had built a following that large — completely on his own.

“He worked so hard. He was just being himself and spreading joy. When it was all deleted, it broke his heart,” says his mom, Kristine.

His 13th Birthday Wish: Start Again.

Brock turns 13 on November 14, and his biggest wish isn’t a party or a new phone — it’s to relaunch his YouTube channel and reconnect with his fans.

He’s calling it Bangin Wit Brock 2.0 — and this time, he’s ready to go bigger and better than before.

He’s already written a theme song and has big plans to create:

• Mukbangs (food challenges & fun meals)

• Gaming and vlogs to share his world

• His very own card game based on his favorite foods!

How the Funds Will Help

Brock is raising funds for the tools he needs to make his relaunch possible:

• A computer for video editing

• A camera and lighting setup

• Microphone and software for recording

• Supplies for his new food-themed card game

His family has faced some financial challenges this year, and with rising costs of living, it’s been difficult to afford the extra equipment. But Brock’s determination hasn’t faded — he’s already planning his comeback and dreaming about connecting with his audience again.
