A Waikiki toddler has tragically passed away from a life-threatening condition just five weeks after her family started a GoFundMe page to help save the little girl.
Aurelia Patel suffered from severe pulmonary hypertension, a condition which affected her heart and lungs.
The two-year-old was being treated at Perth Children's Hospital but despite being on multiple medications none were successful and she was placed on end-of-life palliative care.
Aurelia required a heart and lung transplant to save her life but her family were informed the surgery was not possible in Australia for children under the age of four or under 15 kilograms due to low survival rates.
Two US hospitals had agreed to look at Aurelia's case but overseas options would have cost in the millions.

Aurelia's Aunty Therese Butcher created a GoFundMe page in late October to help raise funds for her niece.
Over $107,000 was raised before Ms Butcher confirmed Aurelia passed away overnight.
"With unimaginable heartbreak, we share that our precious Aurelia passed away last night," she wrote on Aurelia's Army Facebook page.
"Surrounded by love, she took her final breath wrapped in the arms and hearts of those who adored her. Our brave girl fought harder than any child ever should, and her light touched thousands who walked beside her on this journey.
"Aurelia is now free from pain. We take comfort knowing she is at peace, held by the ancestors and angels who came before her.
"To our community, family, friends, and every person who shared, donated, prayed, or held our girl close thank you. Your love lifted her up and now helps hold us through our grief.
"Fly high, beautiful girl. Forever our golden light."
