                     RECOGNIZING NICKY CHRISTOPHER

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing 
member of our community. Nicky Christopher is a 12-year-old from 
Yardley, Pennsylvania, who has been working to brighten the day of 
people across our community.
  Over the last several months, Nicky has decorated dozens of homes to 
celebrate birthdays, graduations, and bar and bat mitzvahs and other 
causes for celebration.
  In an amazing show of community spirit, families have donated 
supplies and decorations to help Nicky continue to bring joy across our 
community. And while Nicky receives some cash donations, he takes any 
money that is not spent on supplies, and he donates that money to 
children who have been displaced from their homes.
  Mr. Speaker, Nicky's kindness and generosity are an inspiration for 
our entire community and our entire Nation. I know that he has been 
able to brighten the day of so many people in our community when they 
have really needed it the most.
  Last month I had the opportunity to meet Nicky over Zoom, and I 
cannot say enough about what an amazing young man he is and how proud I 
am to represent him in Congress and how incredibly proud his family 
must be.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Nicky for bringing so much light to our 
community and to our Nation. We need more people like him.
