Y&T LUXURY PROPERTY HELPS 💚 We believe that a true home is more than just a place – it is a feeling of safety, support, and hope. And sometimes, helping others can be the beginning of something truly beautiful. 💚
This time, we want to help the most vulnerable – children who fight for every breath.
Helping Children at Bulovka
Y&T Luxury Property is a real estate company that helps people find their dream homes. This year, the Y&T team has once again joined forces with the Our Lungs Foundation to support a young girl who is fighting her toughest battle not only on the chessboard but also in everyday life.
Together with the foundation, we are launching a fundraiser to purchase a cough assist device — a special medical machine that helps children with weakened respiratory function safely clear mucus, breathe more freely, and recover faster from illnesses. Every donation brings hope, relief, and a new breath to children who deserve to smile without struggling for air. 💚
💚Every contribution changes a child’s life
Children with lung or neuromuscular diseases often cannot cough effectively on their own. Mucus accumulates in their airways, infections develop, and even a simple cold can quickly become dangerous.
For them, a cough assist device is truly a second breath:
It replaces the natural cough when children cannot generate one themselves.
It lowers the risk of infections and improves lung ventilation.
It speeds up recovery and reduces the length of hospital stays.
It saves precious energy, allowing children to focus on growing, playing, and laughing.
Help the children at Bulovka breathe a little easier — and live more fully. 💚
About the Device – Cough Assist
A cough assist is a medical device that uses controlled positive and negative pressure to simulate a natural cough. It first gently “inflates” the lungs and then uses a quick flow of air to loosen and expel mucus from the airways. The method is gentle, painless, and safe even for small children.
“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.
It helps children living with conditions such as:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
Other neuromuscular diseases
Cystic fibrosis
COPD and chronic bronchitis
Post-infection or post-surgery states where coughing is weakened.
A cough assist device is often the difference between breathlessness and relief — between illness and stability — between fear and a calm breath.
What are we raising funds for?
Our goal is to raise 136,756 CZK, the price of a modern cough assist device for the pediatric department of Bulovka Hospital. With this device, young patients can recover more easily, breathe with less effort, and avoid complications caused by retained mucus.
Every donation helps them breathe freely again. If the total amount is exceeded, all additional funds will support other children through the Naše plíce Foundation.
🤝100% of donations go directly to the children
The Naše plíce Foundation does not keep a single crown from donations. All operational costs are fully covered by Y&T Luxury Property, ensuring that every contribution goes straight to helping children who are fighting for breath.
💚Join us and give the children at Bulovka a new breath.
Every contribution is a step toward better health, greater safety, and a real chance for young patients to follow their dreams.

Interview with the Head of the Pediatric Department at Bulovka Has Just Been Published!
Today, an interview was released with the Head of the Pediatric Department at FN Bulovka — the very department for which our public fundraiser is currently running. In the interview, he speaks not only about caring for children, but also about what could help keep young doctors in the Czech Republic, the challenges hospitals face every day, and why his work has meaning despite major sacrifices.
🎯 The fundraiser is focused on one specific device: a cough assist machine, which helps children with lung and muscle diseases breathe and clear mucus without pain. ➡️ A device that can determine the quality of their lives — and sometimes even whether they can breathe on their own.
🎁 Let’s support a gift that truly makes a difference.
Thank you for being with us. Together, we can achieve so much! 🙏

Christmas is approaching – a time of wishes coming true. But the wishes of young patients are different from those under the tree. They long for health, strength, and the ability to breathe more easily.
Bulovka University Hospital needs your help. The Pediatric Department lacks a cough assist machine – a device that helps children with weakened respiratory function clear their airways safely, breathe more freely, and recover faster.
That is why we are launching this Christmas fundraiser.
Every donation can bring real hope and move these children closer to their greatest wish – to breathe more easily and live better lives.
Help us help them. Together, we can make a difference.
Help us give the little fighters at Bulovka Hospital the gift of free breath.💚
Breathing is something most of us take for granted. But for children with neuromuscular diseases, it is a daily challenge. The inability to cough effectively can lead to mucus build-up, frequent infections, and dangerous complications. A cough assist device helps them breathe more easily and cope with the world around them with less effort.
This device allows children to better manage infections, recover faster, and breathe with less effort. It improves their quality of life and treatment outcomes while bringing peace of mind to both children and their parents.
“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.
With your support, we can equip the children’s ward at Bulovka with a modern cough assist device that will help the most vulnerable — children learning to breathe, laugh, and grow again without fear of every cough.
“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.
What are we raising funds for, and why?
A cough assist device helps children with weakened breathing function clear their airways. For young patients with lung or neuromuscular diseases, it often means the difference between breathing and breathlessness — between illness and relief.
How does a cough assist device work?
A cough assist device uses controlled positive and negative pressure to mimic a natural cough. It first gently helps inflate the lungs and then uses a quick flow of air to safely push mucus out of the airways. This method is gentle, painless, and suitable even for the smallest patients.
Who does the device help?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
Other neuromuscular diseases
Cystic fibrosis
COPD and chronic bronchitis
Post-infection or post-surgery conditions where coughing is weakened
