Jindra is a single mother with three children (aged 7, 5 and 2). A year ago, her partner decided to buy a semi-dilapidated mill in Sádek in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands at his own discretion. However, the debt and the never-ending work on the building caused too much strain on their relationship and Jindra decided to leave her partner this summer and stand on her own feet. She is about to start a job as a first-grade teacher at the local elementary school, as soon as she has secured childcare for her youngest daughter. As her partner has three children from a previous relationship, her financial situation is not exactly rosy. Jindra would use the donated funds to fulfil their children’s big wish, which is an Albi pen with interactive books and a globe. 

 

The story was nominated by Olga Svobodová, Jindra’s distant relative.
