Let's join forces 💪🏻 Let's contribute to Honzik's coughing assistant, let's contribute to a better life! Honzik has been suffering from cerebral palsy since birth. His muscles are weakening and so breathing and coughing is very difficult for him. What would help him? A coughing assistant, but the health insurance won't pay for it.
"Help Honzik to cough better!" - attending physician MUDr. Adam Cipra
The Our Lungs Foundation, founded by Y&T Luxury Property, an all-female real estate firm that pays all of the operating expenses of the Our Lungs Foundation, supports the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases, including lung cancer and the effects of COVID-19. Together, they are launching a fundraiser for a new Cough Assistant EO-70 for Honzíček, who has cerebral palsy. And you can get involved too. Contribute to a better life for Honzíček!
We're in this together! Real estate agency Y&T Luxury Property has pledged 100 00 CZK to support the fundraiser!
"...a condition that leads to prolonged congestion, frequent sickness, chronic colonization by certain germs and, as a consequence, shortens their lives."- doctor MUDr. Adam Cipra
Get to know Honzíček
Honzíček was born in 2016 with severe cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a disease affecting the motor centres in the brain. Because of this, Honzíček is essentially immobile and lives his life in a wheelchair. He is fully dependent on the help of others in the home where he is now. In Honzíček's case, cerebral palsy has also affected his lungs and his ability to cough normally. In order to keep Honzik from coughing, he needs a coughing assistant.
"Every crown that donors contribute will help us so much, and it will make life so much easier for Jeníček," says Honzíček's mother.
What is a cough assistant?
A cough assistant is a non-invasive medical device that helps patients cough. It stimulates coughing by rapid changes in pressure. Patients usually use the device on a daily basis also because by ridding the lungs of mucus, the lungs are also cleansed of bacteria and viruses. Coughing thus becomes an indispensable and very important part of life.
"...když se nenadechnete, tak nemůžete udělat vůbec nic."- pečující sestřička Kateřina Šindelářová.
But unfortunately, Honzíček is not the only one who suffers from cerebral palsy...
The device we will buy will be used by other children with a similar diagnosis in the home, for example Honzík's roommate Martínek. Martínek will be able to breathe better too!
Why the amount of CZK 168,308?
A cough assistant is far from the only thing Honzicek needs. A special device, the Cough assistant EO-70, can be bought for CZK 127,415. A mobile stand for the device will cost another CZK 18,513. All other accessories, masks, filters and tubes are additional equipment needed for the cough assistant, for two years ahead the equipment for two boys is another 14 400 CZK. Last but not least, Honzik and Martinek need anti-substance mattresses tailored to their beds, we will buy this for the boys for 7 980 CZK.

Honzíček has not been living at home with his mother, father and siblings since his birth, his health unfortunately does not allow it. But surely neither he nor his family wish anything else. Now Honzíček is in a home in Háj u Duchcova, where he is cared for by kind nurses. According to Honzík's attending physician, with whom we spoke, these children suffer from the fact that they are unable to cough properly, have a weakened vital lung capacity, impaired processes that allow them to clear their lower airways...
