On November 30th 2025, our family suffered a tragedy. Nicholas (25) and his mother Christine (52) Lehmann lost their lives in a devastating house fire. Nicholas had special needs and was one of the

sweetest souls you could ever meet—gentle, kind, and loving to everyone around him. He was a shining light. Christine a hero in her last moments. Our lives are forever changed.

More than 80 brave firefighters fought with everything they had to save them. Their heroic efforts will never be forgotten.

We are creating this GoFundMe to honor Nicholas and Christine’s memory in a way that reflects who they were and the love they brought into the world. All donations will go toward:

• Supporting children and adults with special needs, a cause deeply close to Nicholas

• Providing resources or appreciation for the first responders who risk their lives everyday

No amount is too small. Your support means more than words can express, and it helps ensure that the kindness and spirit of Nicholas and Christine continue to live on through others.

Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.
