The reinforcement bracket provides structural integrity for the trunk handle of an automobile, in particular the Scion tC. The bracket includes first fastening interface, a second fastening interface, a handle support structure, a first planar brace, a second planar brace, and a web. The handle support structure includes a planar body and a grasping hole. The grasping hole traverses through the planar body to facilitate the placement of the lock actuator. The first planar brace and second planar brace are oriented parallel and offset to each other as well as being positioned adjacent and normal to the planar body. The web is connected between the two planar braces and provides additional structural rigidity. The bracket is attached to the trunk handle and trunk through the two fastening interfaces. The first and second fastening interface is connected adjacent and normal to the first and second planar brace, respectively.
