We believe a true home is more than just a place – it’s a feeling of safety, hope, and support. And sometimes, helping others can be the beginning of something truly meaningful. 💙
This time, we want to help someone who’s fighting for every single breath.
💙 Meet Daniela – a talented chess player who, despite a rare lung disease, managed to earn the title of Vice Champion of the Czech Republic. But her greatest battle isn’t on the chessboard – it’s the daily fight for life itself. And we want to help her win.
✨ Together, we can give her the most precious gift – a healthier future.  The Y&T Luxury Property team has already pledged to cover half of the needed amount. Will you help us finish the game? ♟️
đź’™ Every donation is a step toward a better life for Daniela. Join us and give her the chance to breathe freely.
Y&T Luxury Property is helping!
 Y&T Luxury Property has been helping people find their dream homes. But this year, these incredible women have decided to join forces with the The Our Lungs Foundation to support a young girl whose battle extends beyond the chessboard and into everyday life. ❤️
As a child, her illness kept her away from school for long periods, forcing her to catch up on missed lessons. Although her absences have lessened since her diagnosis, physical activity remains a challenge, and she quickly gets out of breath—especially when running. To maintain her health, she relies on consistent sleep, careful medical care, and daily therapy to improve her breathing capacity and prevent complications.
Currently, Daniela uses a saline inhaler daily to help loosen mucus, followed by a flutter device to clear her airways. She also takes preventive antibiotics year-round and monitors her oxygen levels regularly.
Daniela & Chess ♟️
Introduced to chess by her father and brother, Daniela found a passion for the game, which became a key part of her life due to the physical limitations preventing her from playing other sports. Her talent and dedication led her to an incredible achievement—in 2024, she placed 2nd in the Czech Junior Chess Championship, securing a spot at both the World Junior Championship and the Czech Women’s Championship. 🏆🎖️
Chess requires absolute silence, making tournaments particularly challenging for Daniela. Persistent coughing and congestion can be distracting and make her feel self-conscious.
Beyond chess, Daniela enjoys playing tennis and ping-pong, designing jewelry, and building Lego creations, where she lets her creativity shine.
What is PCD
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder affecting the tiny hair-like structures (cilia) in the respiratory tract, preventing them from effectively clearing mucus and debris from the lungs. This leads to chronic respiratory infections, persistent coughing, and repeated lung inflammation, which can result in severe lung damage over time.
Why Are We Raising Funds?
One device that could drastically improve Daniela’s quality of life is the Simeox device. This innovative medical tool helps liquefy thick mucus in the lungs, making it easier to clear and reducing the risk of infections and lung damage. With Simeox, Daniela could breathe more easily, feel less fatigued, and focus not just on chess, but on everyday life without constant exhaustion.
How Does Simeox Work?
Simeox uses special pneumatic vibrations to generate low-pressure pulses during exhalation. These pulses loosen mucus deep in the lungs, moving it toward the larger airways where it can be easily expelled. Compared to traditional methods, this therapy is less exhausting and significantly more effective, providing greater relief and less strain on the body.
Be Part of Daniela’s Journey!
Every donation is a step toward better health, bigger dreams, and more victories for Daniela. Make a difference with us by giving Daniela the most meaningful gift – a breath of hope. 💙♟️
We are pleased to announce that the special Simeox device has now been ceremoniously presented to eighteen-year-old Daniela, who suffers from a rare genetic lung disease – primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
The ambassador of the fundraising campaign was singer and songwriter Tomáš Klus, who personally presented the device to Daniela. “Thanks to this special device, I can now breathe more freely. It will do the work of the cilia and clean my lungs, reducing the risk of infections,” said Daniela upon receiving the device.
Tomáš Klus added: “It was an honor to meet this wonderful young woman and to help her. I wish her no more checkmates – neither in chess nor in life.”

The The Our Lungs Foundationwas established by Y&T Luxury Property – a real estate agency which helps people find their dream homes. This year, these women decided to join forces with the The Our Lungs Foundationto help a young girl who is fighting not only on the chessboard but also in everyday life.
During childhood, she frequently missed school due to her illness and had to catch up on missed lessons. However, after being diagnosed with PCD, her school absences decreased. Physical activity is challenging for her, and she gets out of breath quickly, especially when running. Therefore, she needs regular sleep and careful medical care to avoid surgeries and improve her overall breathing, lung capacity, and hearing.
Currently, she uses a saline inhaler daily to help loosen mucus, followed by a flutter device for airway clearance. She also takes preventive antibiotics year-round and monitors her blood oxygen levels.
Daniela and Chess
Daniela was introduced to chess by her father and brother. Due to her limited physical stamina for other sports, chess has become a key part of her life. She achieved a major success in 2024, securing 2nd place at the Czech Junior Chess Championship, which qualified her for the 2024 World Junior Championship and the Czech Women's Championship.🏆🎖️
During chess matches, absolute silence is required, which can be a challenge for her because coughing and a runny nose can be distracting, sometimes making her feel uncomfortable.
Free Time and Interests
Aside from chess, Daniela enjoys playing tennis and ping-pong, designing and modifying jewelry, and building Lego, where she can express her creativity.
What is PCD?
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia is a genetic disorder that affects the cilia in the airways, making it difficult to effectively clear mucus and impurities from the lungs. This leads to frequent respiratory infections, chronic coughing, and repeated lung inflammation, which can result in serious lung tissue damage.
Why are we raising funds?
One of the key tools that could greatly ease Daniela's life is the Simeox device. This innovative device helps liquefy thick mucus in the lungs and makes it easier to remove, reducing the risk of infections and damage to the airways. This will allow Daniela to breathe better, have more energy, and focus not only on chess but also on her everyday life without constant exhaustion.
How does the Simeox work?
Simeox uses special pneumatic vibrations that create short low-pressure pulses during exhalation. These pulses help loosen mucus from even the deep parts of the lungs and move it toward the central airways, where it can be more easily coughed up. Compared to conventional methods, this therapy is less strenuous and much more effective, meaning less fatigue and greater relief for patients. The Simeox device helps in the treatment of the following conditions:
Cystic fibrosis (CF)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Chronic bronchitis
Bronchial dilation or bronchiectasis
Primary ciliary dyskinesia
Severe asthma
Other lung diseases with chronic mucus hypersecretion
