A four-year-old boy has made a heartbreaking wish this Christmas - asking Santa to bring him a new heart.
William Bayliss, of Drysdale in Victoria, was born with half a heart and in his short life has already endured multiple open-heart procedures.
The technical term is hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which means the left side of young William's heart grows to only half the size, placing enormous pressure on the right ventricle to pump oxygen to his entire body.
"All William wants for Christmas is a new heart," reads a GoFundMe page set up for the boy.
