Fundraiser To Support New Milford Grandmother Who Has Brain Tumor

NEW MILFORD, CT — A GoFundMe has been started for a bus driver who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Annmarie Atwood started the fundraiser for Lisa Yachulke.

She wrote: "On Tuesday April 26th, Lisa woke up out of sorts. She ended up at Danbury hospital to find out she has a marble size tumor on her brain. They are also in doing scans and more to find out what more is going on. Test results should hopefully be given tomorrow. As of now, they are expecting to do surgery to remove tumor possibly next wk and take next steps to figure out what else is going on!!Anyone that knows Lisa knows she stresses like nobody’s business, which is why her family (daughters) are asking for any donations possible to get her through this with a little less stress. They want their mom to be able to focus on her upcoming surgeries and aftercare and to get better for her grandbabies, who are her world. Anything to boost her spirits and help with the little things will be greatly appreciated by her and her family. As she will be out of work for quite some time and focus should be just getting through it. She has 5 little people that she is iya too and they need her well and most of all here."

So far, $3,580 has been raised out of a $20,000 goal. To donate, go to the GoFundMe page.
