Daniel's story

Our strong Viking

The current priority

Help bring Daniel home

Bringing Daniel safely home requires specialised medical transport, which we as a family cannot afford on our own.

The full approved family statement is available in English.

Ducks for Daniel

Why am I holding a rubber duck?

Before the accident, Daniel had talked about leaving small rubber ducks around SDC and elsewhere as his own slightly unusual way of saying goodbye to China.

His family decided to continue the idea for him. Every duck leads back here, so people can get to know Daniel and follow his journey.
