The sister of killer Kyle Rittenhouse, who was found not guilty of intentional homicide after crossing state lines and shooting three protesters — two to death — has taken to Gofundme to plead for financial help as she and her mother face eviction from their apartment.
According to Faith Rittenhouse, her brother, who has been touring the country giving speeches with the support of Turning Point USA, has refused to help out his sibling and mother.
On GoFundmMe, she wrote, "Just under 4 years ago, our lives were shattered when my brother was involved in a tragic shooting incident. The aftermath of this event uprooted our family's stability and left us grappling with grief, trauma, and the harsh reality of starting over."
She added, "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."
Noting that she is only asking for $3,000 (with $2,145 donated as of Friday morning), she wrote, "With my brother's unwillingness to provide support or contribute to our family, we've been left to navigate this journey on our own," while pointing out that medical issues have waylaid her from being able to keep a job.
"We've exhausted every resource available to us, but we're still coming up short. The reality is that we have nowhere else to turn, and time is running out.
"Your donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards preventing our eviction and ensuring that my family has a roof over our heads. Whether it's covering rent, utilities, or even helping us find temporary housing, your support will make an immeasurable difference in our lives.

In a recent post on X, Kyle Rittenhouse boasted that he recently accepted a job as an "Outreach Director" with Texas Gun Rights, to advocate for the availability of weapons.
In an interview in November with Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyer, Mark Richards, the attorney said his client is "working, he is trying to support himself. Everybody thinks that Kyle got so much money from this. Whatever money he did get is gone."
He added, "He’s living, I don’t want to say paycheck to paycheck, but he’s living to support himself. Obviously, as his lawyer and somebody who I want to do well, I hope he does re-engage in his studies. But right now he is working full-time, he is living a law-abiding life and he is doing something that he enjoys.”
