Of starting the foundation, Daniel says, "It's just really important for me to get an awareness of this boy out there in the world and an awareness of this disease. The first step I'd like to take is to raise some money."

Not only will donations go towards Isaias' medication, but also to help his family buy groceries, gas, toys and other necessities. "I was just on the phone with his mother yesterday for about an hour and a half. She's lovely," he says. "She was basically telling me what a day in the life is like and it's exhausting, not just financially, but emotionally."

While Daniel says nothing would make him happier than to "constantly be raising money for kids and raising awareness," his focus right now is purely on Isaias. "I made a commitment to that boy. I looked his family in the eye and said, 'Let's go raise some money and let's get people involved.' This is why it's not just a matter of me writing a check. When you get people involved and donating, then they start to research the disease."

Aside from visiting TeamIsaias.org, Daniel also suggests people make a donation to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital and, if possible, to spend some time with children afflicted by this disease. "It doesn't sound like everybody's cup of tea to be around children that are sick, but it's really eye-opening and heartwarming and encouraging because there's a strength of not just the suffering children, but the families, that is really inspiring," he says.
