I didn’t know anything about him for a few days

“I didn’t know anything about him for at least five days. Then I got a ticket like that, they found me through the messenger of his acquaintances, that he was fine.” described for Topky Zemanová. “It was the first bright moment that she was okay,” stated. But she hadn’t heard anything from them personally for a long time. “I got my first messenger message from him yesterday, when he got to the mainland and picked up a weaker signal, he wrote to me.”

The first call in more than five days

She called her son for the first time this morning and was extremely happy that he and his girlfriend were fine and nothing had happened to them. “I have good news, I was woken up this morning by a phone call, and for the first time in days, we talked.” said the deputy, adding that she also asked her son directly about the report she had received indirectly.

“He told me that his friend was leaving the island and asked his son if he wanted to send a message. So he wrote him a note on a piece of paper.” Zemanova smiled. He managed to get to the mainland with the help of volunteers who help people affected by the powerful typhoon.

Destroyed roof and water problems

The house that Zeman’s son and girlfriend rented was damaged by a typhoon. “They blew their whole roof off, but it’s a brick building, so it lasted. They’re thinking about it right now. They had the roof repaired, their son managed to get to the coast to withdraw money from the bank, because nothing works on the island now, or ATMs, “ the MEP described the current situation.

“They have food, they had some supplies, so there is no problem with that. But they have a problem with drinking water in particular. They go to take it to a river or spring, so now they are afraid that other health problems will occur. But he told me that “He managed to exchange gas bombs in front of the typhoon, so they’re boiling the water. So maybe it’ll be okay.” she said that in this difficult situation she had encountered humanity from people, but also from fellow deputies and members of the government. “They were interested in what and how and how it turned out. It will go very well at this time.”

She hadn’t seen her son for almost two years because of COVID. “Surely every mother will understand that it is difficult to spend Christmas with her children ‘from a distance.’ she added.
