Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”
On August 25, 2020, Rittenhouse shot three men, two of them fatally, during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which followed a Black Lives Matter demonstration in the city. Rittenhouse, then aged 17, claimed he was in the city to help protect local businesses from looters and vandals.
In November 2021, a jury in Kenosha found Rittenhouse not guilty of two counts of homicide, one of attempted homicide and two of reckless endangerment after his legal team insisted he only opened fire in self-defense. Rittenhouse has since developed into a regular commentator on conservative and social media and is Outreach Director at Texas Gun Rights, a group formed to “defend the Second Amendment without compromise.”
Faith went on to say she and her mother had been “left to navigate this journey on our own” due to “my brother’s unwillingness to provide support or contribute to our family.”
