Marina Rescue Fund

Twenty two year old Marina from Prague has now been unconscious in a hospital in Colombia for 3 weeks and needs to be transported to the Czech Republic to receive medical care as soon as possible.

Marina spent the last month volunteering in Santa Marta, Colombia. On her day off, she went exploring in nature, when she accidentally fell from a waterfall and suffered a traumatic head injury. She underwent a very serious emergency brain surgery and is now in the intensive care unit of the Hospital Universitario Julio Méndez Barreneche E.S.E. in Santa Marta.

Marina has been a great fighter since she was little, which is proven by the fact that she managed the fall and the subsequent difficult transport through the jungle to the hospital, where she now continues to fight.

Marina is a unique creative young lady, who has written and illustrated her own book, which has been published.

She is truly an exceptional soul. She has already gone through one major life test, which was 10 years ago when she lost her mother. At the moment, the life and health of my daughter and our little sister are our priorities. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure legislative and other necessities.

Unfortunately, Marina's insurance does not cover many of the necessary expenses, including emergency intensive hospital treatment in Colombia, the repatriation flight home to the Czech Republic and the subsequent continuation of treatment and recovery in the territory of the Czech Republic.

Preliminary costs are estimated in the $175,000-$200,000 range. A separate fundraiser has been setup in Czech, this fundraising page has been created to allow citizens living outside of the EU to contribute if they feel called.

We cannot thank you enough for your love and support during this challenging time.
