Love Fund for Lehman Family

Hi, my name is Nicole, and I am starting this fundraiser on behalf of my sweet 11-year-old niece. Autumn was brought by ambulance to Children's MN on Wednesday, April 13th, after collapsing and losing consciousness during choir class. After arriving at the emergency room, they discovered a heart murmur and a mass in her chest larger than her heart. After further testing and a biopsy, she was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma.

 

Autumn started an aggressive chemotherapy program on Saturday, April 16th. She will be in the hospital anywhere from 8-22 days depending on how she feels, and how the mass responds to the immediate treatment. Her treatment will be very aggressive for at least the next eight months and then move into the maintaining phase of her treatment for approximately two years.

 

Autumn loves to play volleyball, spend time with her friends, and is the best big sister to her younger sister and brother.

 

There is a CaringBridge set up to keep family and friends updated as Autumn progresses through her treatment: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/autumnjlehman

 

The funds raised will be put towards Autumn's growing medical bills as her family navigates the next few years.
