<div>On July 3, Caleb (age 6) and Abigail (age 7) Oswald lost their lives in a tragic boating accident caused by an unprecedented severe storm on Lake Geneva, WI. This fundraiser will be donated by the Oswald family to a newly formed charity in Abigail and Caleb's memory governed by a board of directors, including but not limited to Brad and Erica Oswald. While our hearts are broken beyond words, we want their legacy to be one of hope, compassion, and helping others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Caleb had the sweetest heart and a smile that could brighten anyone's day. He loved music so much that he was always asking Alexa to play his favorite songs. As soon as the music started, he would light up, dancing and singing with pure happiness. Caleb was fascinated by trucks of every kind and could spend hours playing with them, talking about them, or getting excited whenever he spotted one. He loved Chick-fil-A so much that he would proudly tell everyone he wanted to work there when he grew up. Caleb found happiness in the simple things, and his laughter and excitement were contagious.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Abigail was full of personality and had the quickest wit of anyone we knew. She always had a funny comment or joke ready and could make everyone around her laugh. She loved swimming, dancing, and filling every room with her energy. She had a huge heart for others and dreamed of becoming a teacher one day because she wanted to help children learn and grow. She was kind, loving, and wise beyond her years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Caleb and Abigail were more than brother and sister—they were best friends. They filled our home with laughter, music, hugs, and endless love. They were deeply loved by their family, friends, teachers, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing them. Even in the face of this unimaginable tragedy, we hope Caleb and Abigail's lives will continue to make a difference by helping other children for years to come. Knowing their legacy is bringing hope to other families will help bring some comfort to us as parents.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many friends, family members, and members of our community have asked how they can support us during this unimaginable time. In lieu of flowers, meals, gifts, or other expressions of sympathy, we ask that you consider making a donation to this fund. We don't want these funds to simply disappear into a large organization where we'll never know who they helped. The funds will be withdrawn from GoFundMe to the Oswald family then donated to a newly formed charity governed by a board of directors, including but not limited to Brad and Erica Oswald. The amount donated by the charity will be based on each child's, family's, or organization's needs, with funds provided directly to families or to organizations serving them on their behalf. We hope to create moments that change a child's life—whether that's making it possible for a child like Caleb to receive the extra educational support, tutoring, or therapy they need to succeed, helping a family access medical care, specialized equipment, or other resources that would otherwise be out of reach, or providing other life-changing opportunities. Erica and I will not only be involved in approving these gifts, but also in personally visiting and supporting the families and organizations whenever possible. We believe seeing Caleb and Abigail continue to change the lives of other children will become a meaningful part of our family's healing.
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you for honoring Caleb and Abigail in a way that reflects the love, kindness, and joy they brought to everyone who knew them. With sincere gratitude, The Oswald Family

Charity Fund for Caleb & Abigail Oswald

<div>My dad had a stroke back in July of 2025. Since then, he had been in and out of the hospital and an assisted living home. During this time, my mom was going through a rigorous process of trying to get him on Medicaid to cover his living expenses. Then, in early January, my mom found out that she had breast cancer. Through all of her issues, she never once stopped taking care of my dad. She was cooking for him every day and spending 4-5 hours daily with him at the assisted living center.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then, about two weeks ago, my dad went into cardiac arrest and passed away on February 7th. My mom has been with him since she was 14 years old (70 years) and needless to say, she is devastated with the loss. She is set to start on her journey of radiation for her cancer this coming week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am trying to help relieve some of the financial stress that the last 8 months have brought to her so that she can focus on her care and treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ANY help is greatly appreciated!

Bringing Dad Home: Funding Essential Upgrades

At 10:49p on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, my parents house caught on fire. The dryer from a stackable laundry set in my Mother’s bathroom seems to be the culprit. With quick action from the neighbors, both my parents escaped the house with their pets  safely.<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/55570778_1616768673926763_r.jpeg" alt="55570778_1616768673926763_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />Per my Dad, my Mom’s bedroom with all it’s contents and attached handicap accessible bathroom have been affected. The connecting rooms all have soot and smoke damage. My Dad said there was no way they could live in their home again anytime soon. <br /><br />Less then a week ago, my parents were in MN at Mayo. My Mom was scheduled to have a  hysterectomy to remove her uterine cancer. After arriving at the clinic the surgery had to be postponed due to a medication issue. <br /><br />Both of my parents have extensive medical needs. My Mom can not walk. She has a wheelchair, kidney problems and cancer. My Dad, who takes care of her, has arthritis in his spine, diabetes that affects his balance and is constantly in AFib. Both have breathing problems.<br /><br />Many of you know my parents because they were your teacher, your child’s teacher or you worked with them.  Maybe you know their name from the years of work they did in the St. Charles community, arts community or with hospice. I know my parents have touched lots of people’s lives and have lots of friends that would love to help them. I also know my parents would never ask for help so I am.
