Alisha Kapoor is connected to a ventilator and under 24-hour care. She's been at the Children's Hospital at Westmead in Sydney for four of her nearly five years. Alisha has a medical condition where her lungs do not inflate. The condition is so rare that fewer than 10 children have it in Australia.Alisha needs a lung transplant but because of her size, it's safer to transplant a new heart at the same time. It means that when she does receive her new heart and lungs, Alisha will be able to donate her own heart, and save another young life.
