Inspired after reading about Aimee and Yuriy Zmysly's struggles in the Sun-Times, Chicago firefighter Matt Drew and his brother Dan Drew of Orland Park organized a golf outing to raise money for the Oak Lawn couple.
All proceeds from the Aug. 13 outing at The Meadows Country Club in Blue Island will be donated to the Zmyslys. So far, more than $7,000 has been collected for the couple, Matt Drew said.
Aimee and Yuriy plan to attend the event.
"It's amazing that people still want to help us," Aimee said. "We really appreciate it."
