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.

EXACTLY-—ISN’T he in college somewhere?
HOW much is she giving him for HIS expenses???
ISN’T KYLE IN COLLEGE???
HOW MANY COLLEGE KIDS ARE SUPPORTING MAMMA???
Does he have money? Where did he get it?
and the media will milk it for all its worth.
This is like the Saint George Floyd videos. Watch the one that CNN,etc,ran and you might think “filthy cops”. Run the *full* video and you’d probably think “filthy career criminal”.
I’d like to see the eviction notice... and the court date.
Doesn’t the father pay child support?
To Kyle... keep your money!
Considering what the young fella went through, how dare they demand he provide for them? then try to shame him.
I wonder if they were by his side throughout the ordeal.
Kyle must be a great kid for the Judge to play a video game with him during court recess.
There has to be more to the story.
Also, Kyle probably has his own debts too. Maybe he can’t give a lot.
I wouldn’t go public stating that he doesn’t help.
Seems his sister sure thinks he does. She might not make the distinction from what’s raised for legal fees. I think he also wrote a book. Good for him.
Article said *her mother*. Is it his mother also?
Weren’t they homeless when Kyle went to Kenosha and worked and got into all this brouhaha?
Rittenhouse is not financially responsible for his mother and sister.
However, the sister also claims they haven’t seen or heard from him in a long time.
Kyle, call your mom and sister.
Yes, that is true. No one knows what goes on in anyone's house unless they are also living there. I know this from experience.
There always are
Tough love. A couple of my sisters wasted money like crazy, and my mom would pay off their maxed out credit cards. Yelling at my mom did not change the situation. Until my mom ran out of money. My sisters were hitting me up for money. Nothing doing. Told them they wouldn't take my advice, and they would say "You're not my father!" (Dad died when we were teens). So when they begged for money, I said "I'm not your father. Fix your own problems.". One went bankrupt, and doesn't blame me. The other fleeced her husband and divorced him and is broke, but doesn't blame me. I've got 4 sisters, the other 2 are good with money but never lent to the others either.
“...shot TWO MEN dead...”
Once again the media refuses to sugarcoat it, gives us the brutal facts.
With MSM articles like this, who needs FR when negative comments are nothing but knee jerk reactions by opinionated jerks who know absolutely nothing about the financial status of the Rittenhouse family......Especially when it's none of anybody's business.
I’m surprised it’s as much as $50K. I thought they had taken him to ruin already. Poor kid.
I see MSN is shrilling for Newsleak again.
newsleak never has any correct facts ever.
Yeah that’s three of their favorite folks…
Sharp Kid taking Steps Forward!——Good.
