A five-year-old girl, Georgia Kirchin, is asking Santa Clause for a new heart for Christmas, as time is running out to solve her life-threatening condition.

Georgia who developed cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle, in 2019 has been living day-by-day as she waits for a child’s heart on the NHS donor list to replace hers.

She was added to the list by doctors in October last year, a list which she has been on ever since.

Her family is making the most of this Christmas as they fear it could be Georgia’s last.

They’ve already spent more than a year waiting for a suitable organ to become available.

Georgia’s big sister Millie, 10, has joined her in asking Santa to find Georgia a new heart as her Christmas present.

Mum Jodie, 32, said, “We don’t know how many more Christmases we’re going to get.
