When he was diagnosed, he realized that Costa Rican adolescents older than age 13 were treated with, and as, adults in adult hospitals with no spaces specifically for teenagers. He decided at age 15 that he would build a hospital for adolescents in Costa Rica; God had other plans and he passed away at age 19.

Proyecto Daniel knows that being diagnosed with cancer at any age is traumatic but is even more when you are an adolescent or young adult with may plans for the future. We also realize that the needs of this population are very different from the ones of children and adults.
Our want these youngsters to live full of hope and determined to fight for their lives. They might have cancer, but they like the same things that any healthy youngster likes. For Proyecto Daniel, it is very important to make them smile and help them stay positive during this process.
