Following a series of seizures on December 20th, Anna was admitted to the hospital where doctors found a mass in her brain. She was diagnosed with a glioma brain tumor and underwent surgery on Christmas Eve. Thankfully, her family and friends were able to be by her side the whole time. While the tumor was completely removed, the pathology revealed it was a grade 3 glioma. She has been in recovery at Mt Sinai for weeks and will be returning home January 10 for 5–6 weeks recovery before starting chemo and radiation therapy. 

As you can imagine, this diagnosis and treatment is not only a complete shock to everyone including Anna but it also truly heartbreaking. Anna is an endless source of positive energy, good vibes, creativity, and genuine care and compassion. She is so loved and adored by family and friends who are eager to help however possible.

Funding from this page will go toward helping Anna's mom, Patty Wisniewski, and stepdad, Michael Wisniewski, with out-of-pocket expenses for Anna's treatment, hospital bills, and any costs incurred for her therapeutic care. Anna is still in recovery and will soon undergo an emotionally, mentally, and physically taxing therapy. Please join in supporting Anna through this experience as best we can.
