This is Daniela, a two-year-old girl from Guatemala. Daniela was developing like any other healthy baby until she contracted meningitis, a very serious bacterial infection affecting the brain and spinal cord.

Her loving parents are determined to help their daughter but lack the financial resources to provide her with the treatment she needs.
