Financial Support for Kyle Rittenhouse
What does he need?
- Money for bail – \$2 million (more info)
- Money for legal fees – \$?? (research needed)
- Money for security – \$?? (research needed)
- Total: \$3m? \$5m?
How much does Kyle need on top of the \$2m bail? \$1m for legal defense and security? More? On the other hand, he seems to have tried to do the right thing and it would be really nice to be able to just make sure he has plenty.

Known funds raised as of Oct 13: \$2,657,313 (\$657,313 after bail)
