Help Kaitlyn and the boys following the tragedy

Hi, my name is Dobie Gutweiler, and I am starting this fundraiser on behalf of my friend and co-worker, Kaitlyn McGuire and her sons Issak (10) and Ian (5).

On May 6, 2022, a motor vehicle accident claimed the life of Kaitlyn's husband, Austin, at the young age of 29. Austin enjoyed anything outdoors, especially fishing. He had a very creative mind and was always thinking of things he could build or create. Austin enjoyed sports, especially the Minnesota Vikings. He had many talents including cooking and playing guitar. He encouraged his boys to participate in sports and enjoyed volunteering at practices. Austin loved taking his boys fishing, bowling, swimming and anything to do with the outdoors

Unfortunately, there was no life insurance on Austin. Sadly Kaitlyn faces her grief and tries to help her boys as much as possible, with the uncertainty of how she will financially survive. Kaitlyn now faces funeral home expenses, memorial expenses, and day-to-day living costs for herself and the boys.

We know that times are tough for all of us, but any little bit will help Kaitlyn, Isaak and Ian through these trying times and the uncertainty of the future.
