The Pink Bubble Foundation was founded in 2012 by model Martina Šmuková with the aim of helping children and young people whose lives have been complicated by cancer. The foundation provides comprehensive support to patients aged 11 to 30 in the Czech Republic with any oncological or hemato-oncological diagnosis, not only during the treatment period, but also during the subsequent recovery and return to normal life.
Oncological disease is a big test for every patient, but it also affects the lives of young people at a difficult age when children become adults. At Pink Bubble, we therefore try to make this period easier for them so that, despite the illness, the young patients experience it as happily as possible and are able to get back on their feet as soon as possible.
We established cooperation with Pink Bubble this year. The first support went to 3 Pink Bubble families to take care of the supply of Kolorek. Another joint project is the possibility of purchasing the Handbook How to cope in the hospital directly on our e‑shop.
In ten years, the Pink Bubble Foundation has already helped hundreds of children, teenagers and young adults, distributing 28 million crowns to them and fulfilling wishes worth 10 million crowns.
And why Pink Bubble? “There is a pink bubble meditation. When you have a big wish, it's better to imagine it fulfilled than to carry it in your head all the time. Then wrap that idea in an imaginary pink bubble, unpin it into the universe and not worry about it anymore. The universe will arrange for your wish to come true at the right moment. When I was twenty and I was dealing with something important, a friend advised me. That's when the idea of the bubble helped me, and when I was looking for a name for the foundation, I remembered her. In fact, at Pink Bubble we try to give those bubbles an extra boost so that the wishes of the patients come true as quickly as possible," says Martina.
At Pink Bubble, they approach all aid recipients individually to help them with what they need most. They try to fulfill their personal wishes and also provide them with experiences, because moments of happiness and joy are really important for young people whose lives have been affected by such an unpredictable disease. They organize activities that could distract young patients during treatment and recovery, strengthen their hope and bring as much laughter and good mood into their lives as possible.
To the "bubbles", as they call their clients, they contribute to medical, rehabilitation or movement aids and services, thanks to which the treatment process is shorter, more pleasant and life after its completion is easier. They support women and young men during their studies in the hospital and in home treatment, provide them with retraining courses, training or part-time jobs and provide targeted help so that they can stand on their own two feet after treatment and fully step into a new stage of life.
