Title: Czech Hockey Fans Rally to Help⁣ Woman in⁢ Need

Subtitle: Litvínov supporters come together⁤ to provide warmth‌ and support to a⁣ devoted fan

Date: August 4, 2023

In a heartwarming display of‌ solidarity, Czech hockey fans have come together to support⁣ a woman in need. The⁤ woman, who will be celebrating her 60th birthday in September, has‍ been ⁤a dedicated fan of the Litvínov hockey team⁢ for an impressive 44 years.

Her love for⁣ the team began⁣ in 1979 when she first laid eyes on Ivan Hlinka, a legend of the North Bohemian hockey stronghold.‍ Since then,⁤ she has ‍been following Litvínov’s matches through‌ radio broadcasts, which have helped her ‌develop a⁤ decent command of the Czech language. She even had the opportunity to ‍fulfill her lifelong dream ⁣of visiting the club she ‌holds dear.

However, her current situation ⁢took‍ a turn for the worse. While working on an article for iDNES.cz about​ this year’s World ‌Championship in Latvia and ⁣Finland, where she passionately supported the Czech national⁢ team, her friend, former​ Litvínov ⁤club spokesperson Vladimír Novotný, brought attention to her dire circumstances. Living in ‍the remote‍ village of Nikrace, she ‍is on ⁣a disability⁤ pension due to chronic back pain, receiving only‍ 180 euros per ‌month with no job prospects.

“I have​ enough for bread, although I have‍ to walk six‌ kilometers to ⁢get it. ​I also need to pay for electricity, phone ‍bills, and‌ medical expenses. How will I afford firewood for the winter?” she tearfully expressed over the phone.

Coming to her aid, the Ropáci on Tour fan club, led by their ​chairman Jan Ptáček,⁣ organized a fundraising ‌campaign ⁣and a hockey memorabilia​ auction. The ​funds raised will provide her ‌with enough firewood to keep warm for several winters, totaling 32 cubic meters. Overwhelmed with gratitude upon ⁢learning about the⁤ fans’ contributions, she said, “Finally, I will be able to heat my home not ‍just⁢ to ⁤prevent freezing, but to feel warmth.”

The Ropáci on Tour fan club shared their progress, stating, ⁤”It required a considerable amount of⁣ work, ‍but the first batch of ⁤firewood is already⁢ stacked in the shed. This winter, she will be comfortable, and ​heating will not be a problem for this season and beyond.”

Employees of ⁤the ⁤club also joined the​ cause, contributing gifts from the team’s fan ​shop, including a Litvínov jersey with the symbolic ‍number 79‌ and the‌ name ‍”Vija” and a plush Verváček, which brought her immense joy. ⁢”You ⁤have kind hearts, my friends. Yellow and black forever,” expressed the fan club, ⁤extending their gratitude to all ⁢who contributed. This heartwarming gesture reaffirms that Litvínov fans are one big family.

As the woman prepares to celebrate her milestone birthday,‍ she can ‍now look forward ⁤to⁢ a brighter future, thanks to the unwavering support of the Litvínov community.

What⁣ impact does the support of Czech hockey fans have on the ⁤dedicated ⁢fan in need, and how does​ this showcase the strong community bond among hockey enthusiasts⁤ in the Czech Republic
