The organization was founded ten years ago by Kateřina Maxová. She herself suffers from cerebral palsy. Nevertheless, it is she who takes care of securing the funds needed to carry out the stays. Each client pays for their stay, ie food and accommodation, but it is necessary to provide the same for voluntary personal assistants, without whose help the stays could not take place. DMO Stays also financially provide transport, admission to cultural and social events, rehabilitation and compensation aids or material for ergotherapy during the stay. All this from donations and contributions from sponsors, which Kateřina Maxová receives. “We Are Not From Another Planet“ is the title of a book about the founder of the association. The book was published in several dozen copies and offers a look into Katka' s life, the joys and sorrows of living with a disability, and the history of the organization. The book contains contributions from Katka' s friends, colleagues, assistants and people whom Kateřina met. We would like us to be able to reprint this book, a pamphlet that we believe seeks to break down stereotypes in society towards people with cerebral palsy.
