Melodio on the wave of help with Tereza Kostkova and Czech Radio

Growth and development of people with disabilities, financial law, singing. All this is discussed by Tereza Kostková’s guest, Shimona Mašková. Lawyer and co-founder of the Melodio Foundation.

Thanks to her friends at the nursing home, Shimona realized that she should be grateful that she is healthy and not limited by any disability. The continuous good cheer of the disabled clients impressed her. It occurred to her that if these people worked with a coach, they might be reminded of some of their dreams that they had forgotten. Even if it was just writing short stories or making scented bags.

But where would the money come from to pay for the therapy courses? That’s when Shimona’s dream came into play: singing in public. And so the Melodio Foundation was born.

The Melodio community strives to connect people from all walks of life. Forging new friendships helps improve quality of life and personal growth. Would you like to join us? Then come to the Melodio benefit concert for Karin and Jitka on May 23, 2024. Helping is an experience!

Would you like to listen to the whole interview, which was premiered on Czech Radio Two in the programme Blízká meetkání on 5. 4. 2024? We do not want to be a crutch, but a stepping stone, explains Šimona Mašková.
