Vybrané prostředky budou použity na úhradu léčebné metody TTF Optune (Tumor Treating Fields), která má u glioblastomu velmi pozitivní výsledky. Tato metoda využívá speciální elektrická pole, která dokáží růst rakovinných buněk zastavit, a dokonce celý nádor v mozku zmenšit. Honza by tak získal šanci na výrazné prodloužení života, a to až o desítky let.
Částka potřebná pro uskutečnění léčby však daleko převyšuje rámec našich možností. Naší jedinou šancí tak jste vy. Doufáme, že pomůžete Honzovi dál bojovat a žít.
- Cena jednoho měsíce léčby je přibližně 620 000 Kč, minimální doba léčby je 12 měsíců.
- Proto prosíme o cílovou částku 7 440 000 Kč
- Honza léčbu zahájí ihned, co se podaří vybrat částku potřebnou alespoň na první dva měsíce (tj. cca 1 240 000 Kč). V léčbě bude pokračovat tak dlouho, dokud budou finance.
- Pokud se vybere menší částka, využije se na kratší dobu léčby.
- Pokud se podaří vybrat více, bude možné léčbu prodloužit nad plánovaný 1 rok.
- Pokud nastane nějaká medicinská překážka v léčbě TTF, budou finanční prostředky využity na léčbu imunoterapií dendritickými buňkami, případně na jiné léčebné postupy, které by mohly zlepšit průběh onemocnění. Při nemožnosti podstoupit výše uvedené léčebné procedury, budou finanční prostředky využity na běžné rodinné výdaje (nájem, potraviny, péče o děti)
Vím, že částka není malá, ale každá koruna navíc pro nás znamená šanci na více společných dní. Pokud můžete, prosím, přispějte jakoukoli částkou a pomozte Honzovi bojovat. Pokud zrovna přispět finančně nemůžete, budeme nesmírně vděční, když nám pomůžete sdílením této sbírky – mezi přáteli, rodinou, na sociálních sítích nebo ve vaší komunitě. I sdílení je velká pomoc.
Děkuji vám z celého srdce za každou podporu, myšlenku i slovo povzbuzení. Dodáváte Honzovi sílu bojovat dál a nám všem naději, že zůstaneme jako rodina co nejdéle pohromadě.
S úctou a nadějí

Hope for Honza – Father of Two Little Boys Needs Our Help
Dear donors,
With deep humility and hope, I am reaching out to ask for financial help for treatment for my beloved husband Honza (42) – a wonderful dad to our two little boys, Honzík (4) and Toník (1). Honza is bravely facing every single day the most aggressive type of brain cancer – glioblastoma.
Over the past four years, he has undergone three brain surgeries, long-term chemotherapy, and radiation. Each time, he stood up again and refused to give in. By now, all standard treatment options have been exhausted.
Our hope now lies in a modern treatment called TTF Optune (Tumour Treating Fields), which can significantly extend Honza’s life. In many EU countries, this method is covered by health insurance. Unfortunately, that is not the case here in the Czech Republic. The treatment costs millions of Czech crowns, far beyond what we could ever afford on our own.
Our sons are Honza’s greatest motivation. Every day that he can be here for his boys, and we can be together as a family, is priceless. We believe we can overcome this cruel disease. Please, help us make this happen!
Who will we help?
I met Honza at work, where he charmed me with his sense of humour, honesty, and responsible approach to life. He’s an honest man, someone you can always rely on, and a true man of action who keeps his word. He’s courageous and empathetic. Today, I see even more clearly what an incredible fighter and devoted father he is.
He loves hiking in the mountains, history, and model building, and is a great partner through good times and bad. My wish is for our sons to adopt these values and attitude from him. I hope they’ll have enough time to do so.
Our life was turned upside down in January 2022, just as we were planning our son Honzík’s first birthday. One morning at breakfast, Honza suddenly felt unwell and couldn’t move his left arm and leg. At the hospital, we received a devastating diagnosis – grade IV glioblastoma, the most aggressive type of brain tumour.
While Honza was undergoing a long and demanding brain surgery, I celebrated Honzík’s first birthday alone, heartbroken. After surgery, Honza went through standard treatment with radiation and chemotherapy, and his condition stabilized. Each MRI gave us new hope that perhaps we had stopped this terrible disease.
We started living “normally” again and even looked forward to welcoming our second son. Unfortunately, a week before his birth in November 2024, a routine check revealed that the tumour had returned. Honza immediately underwent another risky brain surgery. Thanks to the incredible effort of the team at the Military University Hospital in Prague, he was able to be with me for the birth of our second son, Toník.
This past year has been filled not only with the joy of caring for our newborn, but above all with intensive treatment and yet another surgery for my husband. Honza keeps fighting, but we’ve already exhausted all treatment options normally available. We´re now standing at a crossroads – either we manage to fund the modern treatment, or we will be forced to watch helplessly as the disease rapidly advances.
We will not give up. But we can’t cover the costs alone.
How the funds will be used
The funds from this campaign will be used to cover the cost of TTF Optune (Tumor Treating Fields) therapy, which has shown very positive results for glioblastoma. This method uses special electric fields to stop cancer cells from growing and can even shrink the tumour in the brain. It could give Honza a chance to significantly extend his life, possibly even by decades.
The amount needed for this treatment is far beyond our means. Our only chance is you. We hope you’ll give Honza the opportunity to keep living fully.
-
One month of treatment costs about 21,000 EUR + VAT, and the minimum treatment duration is 12 months.
-
That’s why we are asking for a target amount of 7,440,000 CZK (approx. 307,748 EUR, depending on the current exchange rate).
-
Honza will start the treatment as soon as we raise enough for the first two months (about 1,240,000 CZK – 51,280 EUR). He will continue treatment as long as funds allow.
-
If we raise less, the funds will cover a shorter treatment period.
-
If we raise more, the treatment can last longer than the planned one year.
-
Should any medical obstacles prevent TTF treatment, the funds will be used for dendritic cell immunotherapy or other procedures that could improve the course of the disease.
-
If none of the above is possible, funds will be used for basic family expenses (rent, food, care for children).
We know this is a significant amount, but every single donation brings us closer to spending more precious days together.
If you can, please donate any amount and help Honza keep living fully. If you cannot contribute financially, we would be deeply grateful if you could share this campaign – with friends, family, on social media, or within your community. Sharing helps a lot too.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Thank you wholeheartedly for every bit of support, every thought, and every word of encouragement. You give Honza the strength to keep living and give all of us hope to stay together as a family for as long as possible.
With gratitude and hope,
Klára Stehlíková
for Honza, Honzík, and Toník
