They tried to silence him. They failed. But today, J6 patriot Markus Maly is fighting a different kind of battle – one that millions of working Americans can relate to. However, that is made all the more difficult by the scars left behind by a weaponized justice system. After enduring persecution and imprisonment for standing up for the truth on January 6th, Markus is now asking for help to keep his family afloat.
“I have never in my life had as hard of a time as I am at this moment to simply make ends meet,” Markus shared in a heartfelt message. “But at least I’m here at home with my family… even with all the money troubles, life is good, and I am free.”
That freedom came at a steep cost. Like so many J6ers, Markus was ripped away from his wife and three children, targeted by the regime, and locked away for daring to question the narrative. Thanks to the grace of God and a pardon from President Trump, Markus is free today, but the challenges didn’t stop with the prison doors opening.
Since his release, Markus has been working hard to rebuild his life. He’s a flooring contractor, someone who’s used to getting his hands dirty and earning an honest living. But in this Biden-inflated economy, that work has been harder to come by, especially when cheap illegal labor undercuts small business owners like him. On top of that, his work van—the lifeline of his trade—has been breaking down repeatedly and now requires serious repairs he just can’t afford.
“We are about $5,000 in debt, with rent, electric, and propane,” Markus writes. “My wife’s car needs a new alternator, and my work van has an exhaust leak that I can’t fix myself… I feel like I’m sinking. Please help.”
Despite the hardship, Markus maintains hope and gratitude. He’s not looking for a handout—he’s asking for a hand up. That’s why he’s launched a GiveSendGo fundraiser titled “Freedom Fighter’s Family Fund”, and he needs patriots like you to step in.

Your support can help Markus:
Catch up on rent and utilities
Fix the work van that’s vital to his trade
Cover vehicle repairs so his wife can drive safely
Provide stability for his three children during this difficult season
This isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about standing with our fellow Americans who have been punished for standing up. It’s about defending the families of those who paid a price for their patriotism. Markus is doing his best to get back on his feet. Let’s show him that he’s not alone.
This is also a reminder that Markus is far from the only one still fighting the ripple effects of January 6th. Many J6ers and their families continue to struggle in the aftermath of a regime that weaponized the DOJ against its own citizens. That’s why StopHate.com has compiled a list of J6er fundraisers at StopHate.com/SHDOD. If you’re looking to support more political prisoners and their families, this is a great place to start.
But today, our focus is on Markus. Let’s give this father, husband, and American worker the boost he needs to get back to providing for his family and contributing to his community. We’ve seen what this movement can do when it comes together. Let’s do it again.
“Once I’m on my feet and things start picking up and getting back to normal… things will be fine,” Markus says. “I’m stubborn and I want to do it myself, but I feel like I’m sinking.”
Let’s lift him up, the way so many of us have needed lifting. If you’ve read this far, take a moment and act.

We’ve seen the worst from this regime. But we’ve also seen the best from each other. Let’s be the best again today.
