Honza went to work in the morning as he had done so many times before. But in the parking lot he suffered an acute pulmonary embolism with cardiac arrest and there was no one around to provide first aid to him. The unfortunate paradox is that Honza had worked all his life as a nurse at a hospital ICU, caring for patients with a disease to which he himself succumbed. He loved his job and performed it with humility, empathy and with a smile on his face. He spent all his free time with his partner and children, his 13-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter. They now need funds to pay off Honza’s debts, to study and to live a life that may never be the same, but may be a little less difficult thanks to your support.

 

This story was nominated by Petr Veselý. Honza was his friend and his wife's classmate.
