Dakota's Meningitis Story

"My little Dakota, distances us but this still has a solution. My life is not over because you are in it. You are now a superior being. When I am sad I think of you, you guide my emotions and wisdom, because I do everything weighing on you. You're a whole world in mine. I miss you so much, but I know it's not forever, one day I'll be with you and we'll be together again forever."

Una Vida por Dakota is a non-profit institution whose mission is to improve people's quality of life through access to health, generating a culture of prevention in society, especially in the most vulnerable population. The name of the Association pays tribute to little Dakota, daughter of the founder Paloma Pacheco Gatjens, who died at five months of age victim of a highly contagious disease.
