Let's donate a cough assist device to the children at Bulovka

Let's support the little fighters at Bulovka 

The Our Lungs Foundation helps the little fighters from the pediatric ward of Bulovka Hospital, who bravely battle for every breath each day. We are launching a fundraiser for a cough assist device for Bulovka's pediatric ward — a device that helps children with weakened respiratory function to cough more effectively, breathe more freely, and recover from illnesses faster.

Every donation brings hope, relief, and a new breath to children who deserve to smile without struggling for air. Help them breathe more easily and live life to the fullest. 💚

💚 Together, we can help them! 💚 

Every contribution is a step toward better health for these young patients and a chance for them to pursue their dreams. Join us and give them a second breath. 💚

About the device

A cough assist (also known as a cough-assist machine) helps children with weakened respiratory function clear their airways. For young patients with lung or neuromuscular diseases, it can often mean the difference between breathing and struggling for air — between illness and relief.

This device allows them to cope with infections more easily, recover faster, and breathe with less effort. It improves not only the quality of their life and treatment, but also brings peace of mind to their parents.

Thanks to your support, we can equip the pediatric ward with a modern cough assist device that will help the most vulnerable — children who are learning to breathe again, to laugh, and to grow without fear of every cough.

Every donation helps the children at Bulovka breathe freely again! 💚

"We have some children who have either acute or chronic lung problems that result in their airways and lungs being polluted. It may be caused by an acute or chronic inflammation. A cough assist machine is able to help clean those airways, shorten the treatment time, and make it more successful," says Ivan Peychl, Head of the Pediatric Department at FN Bulovka.

"If you have any money to spare, even just a few coins, please consider whether this isn't a good cause — helping children breathe more easily," asks the Head of the Pediatric Department at FN Bulovka.

Who does the device help?

• Duchenne muscular dystrophy
• Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
• Other neuromuscular diseases
• Cystic fibrosis
• COPD and chronic bronchitis
• Conditions after infections or surgeries where the cough is weakened

Why is it important?

We often take breathing for granted. But for sick children, every breath is a small victory.
A cough assist device:

💨 replaces natural coughing for children who are unable to cough on their own,
💪 reduces the risk of infections and improves lung ventilation,
🩺 speeds up recovery and shortens hospital stays,
💖 saves energy, allowing children to focus on growing, playing, and laughing.

Our goal is to raise  136 756 Kč CZK for the Cough assist device, which will provide essential treatment and rehabilitation for children at Bulovka.

We want to assure you that any funds exceeding the target amount will automatically be used for other Our Lungs Foundation campaigns, enabling us to help other children and families in need.
We would like to emphasize that the Our Lungs Foundation does not keep a single penny of donor contributions. All operational costs of the foundation are fully covered by Y&T Luxury Property, ensuring that your donations go directly to specific help.

Your help can make children's lives easier and improve their health. Every donation brings them closer to breathing more freely.
