Faith Rittenhouse, the sister of Kenosha killer Kyle, set up a crowdfunding effort seeking $3,000 to pay rent for herself and their mother saying her “brother’s unwillingness to provide support or contribute to our family, we’ve been left to navigate this journey on our own,” Newsweek reports. The site shows the fundraiser, set up at the end of May, exceeded its goal.
Noting that she’s faced many health difficulties herself, Faith says that her brother’s actions in November 2021 that left two people dead had a detrimental effect on the entire family, but only Kyle has benefited. “In the wake of this tragedy, my family, among many other families, has faced countless challenges. We’ve had difficulty obtaining and maintaining employment due to the fact many people still believe my mother drove Kyle or was somehow involved in his decision to go to Kenosha. We’ve struggled emotionally, mentally, and financially to piece our lives back together.”
Kyle Rittenhouse has made a cottage industry of appearing at conservative functions around the country to be lauded for shooting and killing two men and getting away with it. He’s known for provoking gun control advocates, including various speaking engagements that were canceled due to negative community reactions.
