In loving memory of Gelo

Dr. Arash Changizi is organizing this fundraiser in memory of Gelo, a former employee and a valued member of the Progressive Feet family. Gelo passed away on September 30, 2026 following a serious medical emergency that ultimately led to multiple organ failure. Gelo was a strong person with a big heart, and his kindness and empathy touched family, friends, and coworkers alike. His loss is deeply felt by everyone who knew and loved him, and this heartbreaking moment has left his loved ones carrying not only immense grief, but also urgent expenses connected to his passing.

This fundraiser is meant to help ease the financial burden on Gelo’s partner, Haidi, as well as his mother (Myrla), father (Al). Donations will help cover funeral and memorial costs, along with related medical, travel, and care expenses. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help give Gelo’s loved ones the space to grieve and to honor his memory without the added weight of immediate financial stress. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser with others. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for keeping Gelo and his loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time.
