Rebuilding Together Aurora and Sears Heroes at Home to Repair Home of Local Army Veteran
Rebuilding Together and Sears Heroes at Home along with the
help of local volunteers are participating in a community
rebuilding event to help local Oak Lawn, Ill. resident and
WHO: Army veteran Yuriy Zmysly and his wife Aimee.
After serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, Yuriy was injured
during a standard medical procedure - leaving him unable to
speak or move independently. Yuriy and his wife, Aimee,
were married after Yuriy sustained his injuries, and have
worked over the past few years to improve Yuriy's health,
purchase a home, and build a life together in Oak Lawn,
Ill.
Rebuilding Together and Sears Heroes at Home will be putting
the finishing touches on the much-needed repairs to the
Zmysly home, completing a more than year-long effort
initiated by Salute, Inc. to make the home safe, warm and
WHAT: accessible for Yuriy and his family.
