My name is Kaylee, and I’m fundraising on behalf of my longtime friend, Amanda Dunn, who tragically lost her only child — her 11-year-old son, Bentley — in a trailer fire in Oshawa, Ontario, on October 18, 2025.

Bentley had profound autism and was the absolute light of Amanda’s life. She devoted herself fully to giving him every opportunity he could enjoy, and he thrived surrounded by her love. Bentley was deeply cherished by everyone who knew him — his family, teachers, therapists, friends, camp counsellors, and many others in the community who were touched by his bright spirit and one-of-a-kind personality.

This unimaginable loss has left Amanda and Bentley’s dad, Braeden, completely heartbroken. Though Amanda and Braeden were no longer together, they were a strong and loving team for Bentley. Together, they gave him an incredible life filled with joy, adventures, and beautiful memories.

The funds raised will go toward funeral costs and will help Amanda take time away from work to grieve and heal without the added burden of financial stress while she rebuilds a life without her beautiful Bentley.

Any amount, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference during this devastating time. Please keep Amanda, Bentley, and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
