He’s Been My Rock — Now I Want to Be His

️ Help Me Surprise the Man Who’s Always Shown Up

Hi all,

I’m raising $10,000 to surprise someone incredibly important to me — Bryce, the man who has stood by my side through one of the most challenging seasons of my life (and trust me, that’s putting it lightly).

Bryce is the kind of person who works harder than anyone I know — he puts in long hours, rarely complains, and pours every bit of himself into his business, Schmidt Motos. He’s a master machinist, builder, and problem-solver… but more importantly, he’s the kind of man who shows up — for his craft, for his friends, and for me, even when I haven’t made it easy.

If you know me personally, you know I don’t like asking for help or money. But this is different.

What’s the gift?
I’m trying to raise enough to purchase a specialized piece of CNC equipment for his mill — a tool that would massively reduce his labor hours, allow him to create more complex parts, and take a huge step toward doing what he’s always dreamed of: manufacturing motorcycle parts full-time.

This gift isn’t just a tool. It’s time. It’s relief. It’s the chance to build something that’s been living in his head for years — and he’s more than earned it.

How I’m giving back
To help fund this surprise, I’ve designed a line of original t-shirts (because I believe in giving something back). Every shirt purchased helps us raise funds and spreads the word about our mission. If a shirt isn’t your thing, that’s okay — any donation, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and brings us closer to this goal.

Why This Matters
Bryce has always put others first — even when he’s exhausted, even when it’s inconvenient, even when no one’s watching. I want to show him what it feels like to be supported back — by the people who believe in him and in the kind of work he does.

If you can contribute, share, or simply send a kind word — thank you. Your support means the world to me… and to him, even though he doesn’t know it yet. (Yes, it’s a surprise!)

Let’s help him shift into the next gear.

With love and gratitude,

Denise
