Before Barunka was born, Marketa worked as a project manager in the social and health area in Prague, Czech Republic. She was independent, happy with her life, and looked forward to new challenges. Marketa didn’t plan to have a child and felt unprepared for motherhood. However, life had other plans.

To her surprise, Marketa discovered she was pregnant. Despite the child’s father deciding he didn’t want the child, Marketa chose to keep her baby. She believed she could do it and was determined to provide the best for her daughter.

When Barunka was born, Marketa realized it was her best decision ever. However, she faced financial challenges and moved to an old country house.

Today, Marketa is focused on securing the best future for herself and her daughter.

OneRay stepped in to assist Marketa in raising funds for specialized retraining courses, not covered by the Labor Office, as well as partial babysitting services for Barunka.

These courses were vital for Marketa’s career advancement, yet the associated costs and Barunka’s care posed significant challenges. With the community’s support, Marketa could access the education she needed to secure a brighter future while ensuring her daughter’s well-being.

Your contributions made a tangible impact on their lives, empowering Marketa to pursue her goals while balancing her responsibilities as a single mother. Thank you for being part of their journey and making a real difference in their lives!
