I sincerely believe that every misfortune in life happens for a good cause, and that after three days spent the the Institute for Juvenile Pulmonary infections Kozle, because of the bacteria pneumonia of my sons, Luka almost 4 and Marko almost 2, I just knew that something good must come out of the most dreadful experience of my life.

It was then that I decided firmly that I would go back to the Institute, but not as a patient but as a human being that wants to offer her skills to assist the hospital.
During my sojourn in the hospital, the ideas just came pouring onto me, and I was more and more restless to see them come true.

That is how and where the Chocolate auction was born, as part of my numerous ideas about the way in which I could gather more funds to improve the conditions in which these children are treated as well as their mothers accompanying them.

I am extremely grateful of the understanding and enthusiasm of my family, friends and of course the director of the Institute, primaries doctor Oliver Zafirovski who supported the organization of this event and helped it become reality.
