Daniel lives in Jeremie with his parents and two younger brothers. After he graduated from high school, he desperately wanted to continue to college, but he didn’t know how he was ever going to afford it. His father is a woodworker, and his mother a seamstress and a street vendor, but neither of them earns a consistent income in the struggling Haitian economy. Devout Christians, they were praying to God to provide a way for Daniel to go to college, and they were overjoyed when their prayers were answered through a Thrive Ansanm scholarship. Daniel is now studying nursing at Our Lady of Perpetual Help nursing school, the finest nursing school in Jeremie. Once he graduates with his nursing license, he will become a practicing nurse, but his ultimate dream is to continue to medical school and become a gynecologist.
