I need help right now.

I wrote more plainly about this in I've never asked for help before. I'm asking now. This page is where the ask becomes practical: what I'm facing, what the money keeps alive, and why the public record matters.

I'm putting everything I have left into this site so that I — and every other January 6 defendant — can get paid for what was done to us. Not handouts. A platform. A record. Profiles every J6er owns, free, forever, that no platform can throttle and no algorithm can bury.

I need help sustaining right now.

I have multiple civil matters and attorney-office fights tied to Wholesale Universe and the fallout around it. I've been through a divorce that also touches the company side of my life. On top of that, I'm fighting criminal accusations that I believe are frivolous. In one of those matters, I believe I was arrested when I should not have been, and I have video evidence that I say proves what happened.

That is the part people do not always understand. Lawfare does not just happen in a courtroom. It follows you home. It hits your bank account, your sleep, your ability to work, your family, your inbox, your rent, your food, your vehicle, and your ability to think clearly long enough to build your way out.

Prison messed me up. My brain does not function the same way it did before I went in for J6. There are days when reading a single paragraph takes me three tries. There are nights I can't sleep and days I can't get out of bed. They damaged me — extremely. I'm not hiding it because hiding it is what they want.

What I can still do is sit here and use the skills I've got — investigation, coding, building, and getting attention that sustains — to expose evil people who hurt good ones. The DOJ scrubbed their own Capitol Breach Cases page. I salvaged it from the Wayback Machine and now realryannichols.com is the only public mirror of all 1,092 defendants on the list. That's one example of what your support pays for. There's more coming.

I'm not asking you to take my word for everything. I'm building the record so people can see the documents, the dates, the videos, the filings, the screenshots, the gaps, and the pattern. That is why this site matters. If the facts are public, organized, and hard to bury, they are harder to ignore.

I just need some help from supporters who want to see this continue. Every dollar goes directly to me. There's no organization, no middleman, no overhead. It pays for:

• Rent and basic living expenses while I rebuild
• Food for me and my family
• Bills that keep piling up while I fight several fronts at once
• Legal defense pressure and the cost of keeping records organized
• Mental healthcare I need after pretrial detention
• Medical care I can't afford without insurance
• Hosting + tooling to keep the archive online and growing

If you cannot give, read and share the record. If you can give, it helps me keep a roof over my head, keep the lights on, and keep building the one place where this story cannot be quietly throttled, memory-holed, or buried.

Thank you. I appreciate every bit of help I can get, and I will keep showing up here as long as you do.
