An online fundraiser set up by Faith Rittenhouse, the sister of Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, has seen a surge in donations over the past 24 hours after being widely reported in the media.
Faith said she is seeking $3,000 to prevent her and her mother Wendy from getting evicted, which she linked to her "brother's unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family."
Kyle Rittenhouse shot two men dead, and seriously injured another, after rioting broke out following a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020, when he was aged just 17. He was subsequently found not guilty of two counts of homicide, two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of attempted homicide after a jury concluded he acted in self-defense. Rittenhouse claimed he had traveled to Kenosha to help protect local businesses from looting.
The fundraiser was launched on the GoFundMe website on May 30 and initially struggled with donations, having only raised $1,920 of the targeted $3,000 as of 3 a.m. ET on Friday. However after widespread media reporting, including from Newsweek, this figure increased dramatically and was at $5,259 as of 9:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, from 106 donations.

Why is it Rittenhouse’s responsibility to provide for his sister’s housing?
There has to be a backstory here.

It isn’t. She is an adult.
Sounds as if the media gloat backfired and brought the family some publicity and therefore some financial benefit.
Also, let the media people send them money. They are the ones that hounded the family non-stop. I have a hard time believing that employers refuse to hire them just because of their brother. There are a lot of people who support what he did. What was their employment like prior to his taking out the trash?
IF you don’t work and pay for the important things in life like food, transportation and a roof over your head, but instead expect someone else to pay for it...you might be a democrat.
A guy comes into a little bit and just like that, he’s got grifters.
This is the MSM reporting trying to make it sound like Kyle is a jackass. I believe the facts will show there is much much more to this story than what the lying media says. They are trying to stir negative emotions over Kyle.
Many families have rifts in relationships where avoidance of family members is typical. I suspect this is the case with this family and in no way am I trying to put Kyle down.
The mere fact that his sister and his sister’s mother are going public in an effort to shame Kyle proves they are class one grade A jerks. They are using the lefty media for profit. If a fault can be laid for this suspected rift, then this pair of super X jerks are at fault.
Maybe they are experiencing tough love from Kyle due to certain behavioral tendancies.
The two of them are grown adults who need to be responsible for their own lives. Get a job, manage your own finances, don’t buy fancy stuff you don’t need and can’t afford like that fancy phone cover that is in your picture of you in that hospital bed, take care of your health so you aren’t a burden, don’t blame others for your problems.
Damn, glad I have sisters who I know would have my back as I would have theirs in that situation.
Dysfunctional family, with one child managing to rise above his station.
You can’t choose your blood relatives. In this case, Kyle seems to have come up snake eyes.
"Rittenhouse claimed he had traveled to Kenosha to help protect local businesses from looting."
This is false. Rittenhouse never traveled to Kenosha to help protect local businesses. He worked in Kenosha. His father lived in Kenosha. He was in Kenosha staying at his friends house. They talked about what they could do to help the community, and found out a business had been burned in one location, and people were going to work to prevent the another location from being burned down.
This has been known for a long time. It is a matter of public record.
And why would the media care? How many stories do they write about crackhead hunters refusal to acknowledge his daughter?
technically, it’s not. But he should help his momma. The sis is 3 years younger, making her 15/16 I think?(Kyle born 2005). Wiki says Kyle has moved to Texas and is or was working with Jonathan Stickland as well as his own nonprofit started in 2023. Mom might be better off leaving IL and moving to TX, too.
I think Navy Joan and baby momma should’ve showed up in the trial courtroom.
I’d like to hear Kyle’s version of the story. I’m thinking he’s helped them in the past and they’re learning now that they can’t milk him forever.
