Hi, my name is Suz Maklezow. My 9 yr old son and I are raising funds for my husband, my son's father , Wally Maklezow, who recently passed away. Wally just turned 48 in June and was a very caring, beautiful soul. He was taken from us too early. Anyone who knew Wally loved him without judgment. He was the type of person to give you the shirt off his back if he saw you were struggling.

We are asking for help to pay for the week and a half of critical care he received in the ICU at Northwestern Memorial in Chicago. We also need assistance for his celebration of life and final arrangements. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

Shurek and I are devastated and heartbroken
