About me

Daniela Marcano, BSN, RN

I am an ICU registered nurse in New York and a future doctor committed to helping families find care with less fear and confusion.

I created Para Ti NYC because I know what it feels like to search everywhere for healthcare, food, housing, and legal resources for the people you love. I used to scramble to find this information for my own family, especially when language, insurance, and immigration concerns made everything harder.

This site was built to make that search easier for you. My hope is that Para Ti NYC helps immigrant, uninsured, low-income, and Spanish-speaking New Yorkers find support faster, understand their options, and feel less alone while asking for help.
