<p>After many months at Children&#8217;s Hospital in Los Angeles, a grass-roots movement was started to raise funds to provide Baby Daniel with a liver transplant, donated by his father.</p>
<p><strong>The family was flown to Columbia, where the transplant was successfully completed!</strong></p>
<p>Dad has made a swift recovery. The baby is doing great, as well. In fact, he smiled for the first time in months just last week! However, since he was in such a weakened state by the time we were able to raise the funds, his recovery is taking longe than we had first hoped. He is still in ICU, and the hospital bills are racking up.</p>
<p><strong>Please join the thousands of people across the world and donate to help this family cover the mounting hospital bills.</strong></p>
<p>We are more than $60,000 short at this point. <em>Anything</em> helps.</p>
<p>When we were in the hospital waiting room, people who saw Baby Daniel on Telemundo would come up and give $2, or $20, even change. People have tweeted about him, joined the facebook group to spread the word, and donations have come in from 84 countries.  The people of San Pedro were walking the streets with buckets, collecting a &#8220;Dollar for Daniel,&#8221; almost every bar and resteraunt in the city had buckets set up for donations.  We&#8217;ve had fundraisers here, in San PedroAlong with some big donors, this added up to help us raise $250,000 in less than six weeks. It was truly amazing to see how the community came together to save this baby&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>Please spread the word. Donate a little (or a lot!). The change we&#8217;ve seen in him is so amazing. He&#8217;s recovering so quickly. You can make a difference. You can be a part of this amazing adventure. You can be responsible for saving this baby&#8217;s life. Donate now.</p>

<div>Baby Daniel suffers from a rare liver disease &#8216;Biliary  Atresia&#8217;. Biliary atresia is a blockage in the tubes (ducts) that carry a  liquid called bile from the liver to the gallbladder. The condition is  congenital,  which means it is present from birth. The only 2 treatments  for this disease are the &#8216;Kasai Procedure&#8217; which baby Daniel has gone  through already and secondly a liver transplant, which baby Daniel is in  dire need in this present time. Nobody really knows what is the actual  cause for Biliary Atresia the only thing we know is it can be treated.  The encouraging news is that most of the babies who are treated in time  grow up and live normal lives. Presently we are in Los Angles,  California where baby Daniel is being treated at Childrens Hospital Los  Angeles and is in a stable condition but just for a short period of  time, due to his chronic and progressive liver disease. He will need a  liver transplant within the next few months. Time is very critical in  his life. contact</div>

<p>12 de Julio de 2010</p>
<p>LOS ÁNGELES, California – El pasado 24 de marzo,  Daniel Espell e Hilda Guerrero volaron de Belice a Los Ángeles con una  misión que sin la ayuda de otros, podría resultar imposible: salvar la  vida de su hijo Daniel, de tan sólo 7 meses de nacido y diagnosticado  con una rara condición en su hígado.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.univision.com/uv/video/Liver-transplant-needed-to-save-the-life/id/1276447363" target="_self">Ve el video de  Hilda explicando la situación de Daniel</a></p>
<p><a name="#1">Una misión para todos</a></p>
<p>Espell, un guía de turistas de 22 años, conoció a  Guerrero, una cajera de 21 en un negocio familiar, en su natal San Pedro, Belice, donde ambos cursaban la preparatoria. Su relación de casi seis años parecía haberse solidificado con el nacimiento de Daniel, pero la vida les aguardaba otra sorpresa, una que ningún padre debería de soportar.</p>
<p>“Ambos nos pusimos muy felices cuando nos enteramos del embarazo”, dijo Espell. “Y aunque no nos casamos, empezamos a vivir juntos y a entregarnos a nuestro hijo”.</p>
<p>Esa entrega se complicó un mes  después, cuando empezaron a notar que el pequeño Daniel no dejaba de llorar mientras su piel y sus ojos se tornaban cada día más amarillos. Su orina era oscura y sus heces blancas y pálidas. Tampoco había señas de crecimiento o aumento de peso.</p>
<p>“Inicialmente, la gente nos dijo que Daniel posiblemente tenía ictericia o cólera, pero cuando lo llevamos al médico, el doctor ordenó inmediatamente análisis de sangre”.</p>
<p>Cuando llegaron los resultados, los médicos en Belice no pudieron determinar la enfermedad que padecía, por lo que fueron referidos a un hospital en Mérida, México en donde Daniel fue diagnosticado con <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/spanish/ency/article/001145.htm" target="_self">atresia biliar</a>, un trastorno congénito del hígado  que es poco frecuente pero que en la mayoría de los casos, resulta mortal si no se atiende quirúrgicamente.</p>
<p>Daniel recibió una operación temporal en  Mérida, pero los médicos indicaron que de no recibir un transplante de hígado, el pequeño sólo tendría, a lo máximo, un año más de vida.</p>
<p>Con amigos y familiares  en el área de Lakewood, Espell y Guerrero decidieron viajar a California en busca de atención médica. En el Children&#8217;s Hospital de Los Ángeles, el pequeño Daniel ha estado recibiendo cuidados médicos básicos a través del programa Medi-Cal.</p>
<p>No  obstante, Medi-Cal no cubre transplantes médicos y el programa California Children Services, que aunque sí cubre este tipo de  procedimientos para menores de 21 años sin seguro médico y con necesidades financieras, requiere no obstante que los solicitantes comprueben su  residencia en California.</p>
<p>“Nosotros no pudimos presentar esa documentación, no  tenemos seguro médico ni fondos para pagar la operación, así que Hilda y yo seguimos con la angustia de ver a nuestro hijo sufrir con el dolor y con su estomaguito distendido por todos los líquidos que se han empezado a acumular en su abdomen”, compartió Espell.</p>
<p>De acuerdo al  hospital, un transplante de hígado oscila entre $350 mil y 400 mil – una cantidad exorbitante para la mayoría de nosotros, pero ínfima cuando se compara con el valor de una vida.</p>
<p>La única  esperanza para Daniel es la generosidad de personas como tú. El hospital está en curso de establecer una cuenta bancaria para recaudar los fondos necesarios para costear la operación, y en Facebook  está el grupo <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?sk=messages&amp;tid=1143603966612#%21/group.php?gid=133496926682471" target="_self">Save Daniel</a> para generar apoyo moral y financiero  para Espell y Guerrero. En días próximos se anunciará un evento de recaudación en California.</p>
<p>En tanto, las personas interesadas en ayudar a salvar  la vida de Daniel pueden comunicarse con la señora Dolores Kislow al deekislow(AT)yahoo(DOT)com  o depositar  directamente en esta cuenta:</p>
