Givesendgo.com isn't his official fundraising site, this is:

https://fightback.law/

I think I heard of GiveSendGo, not too long ago actually, it is a specifically Christian fundraising website; so take a guess as to why Discover doesn't want to do business.

Late Edit - Found out that GiveSendGo allowed a group to raise money for Kyle's legal defense. They raised WELL over the amount asked, and that's why I'm guessing Discover wanted to throw a wrench in it. Not a plug but (if curious) you can find it if you were to type givesendgo . com slash GUCZ

I donated a few days ago. Anyone who cares about gun-rights and self-defense should do the same, even if just for purely selfish reasons. Plus Kyle is a fucking hero.

Then why does givesendgo have almost $400,000 sitting there in his name?

Because people are retarded? But don’t take my word for it, let’s hear from his lawyers:

“The #FightBack Foundation will take donations for Rittenhouse's legal defense. A website for the foundation will be online in the next day or so, he said.

Wood said that John Pierce will lead the defense team. The lawyers said the #FightBack Foundation is the only approved fund for Rittenhouse's legal fees.”

"Please be wary of any other efforts to raise money for Kyle’s defense," Wood said.

yeah but they said they'll be redirecting all donations to fightback.law, but then they froze all their funding and idk, I think they'll try to destroy them now tbh

From our information so far, GiveSendGo did say the money would be sent to Kyle's family one way or another.

That said, it's always much safer to use, and wait for an official crowd-funding platform before potentially throwing your money away at a potential scammer. People prey on crowd-funding causes all the time. I haven't yet heard who started that campaign.
