I, Joshua McDonald, am a very close friend of Kaleb and Amber Benson and their family. I have set this GoFundMe up to help support my friends in the most difficult time of their life. The funds raised through this GoFundMe will be sent directly to Amber Benson (as the Beneficiary) through direct deposit and will be used to help cover the bills and expenses associated with caring for their son. The funds will go DIRECTLY toward supporting their family and helping with the financial burden during this difficult time.

Our community has always been able to count on Kaleb and Amber Benson. As dedicated members of the S.A.V.E.S Fire and Rescue. They have spent countless hours serving others, answering calls, and standing beside neighbors during some of their hardest moments. Their commitment to our community has never wavered.

Now, they are facing the unimaginable.

Their beloved one year old son recently suffered a medical emergency that resulted in a drowning incident. As their family focuses on his care, healing, and simply being together, they should not have to carry the additional burden of financial stress.

We’re asking our community to come together for a family that has given so much to others. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial strain of medical expenses, travel, time away from work, and the many unexpected costs that come with a tragedy like this.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping this family in your thoughts and prayers.

The Somerville community has always been strongest when we stand together. Now it’s our turn to support one of our own.
