A heartbroken mum has shared a plea for help as she reveals she's spending more than £4,000 a day to keep her baby daughter alive.
Australian Honey Ahimsa currently lives in Bali with her partner Pan, their five-year-old son Hendrix and their seven-week-old girl Lucky.
But in the early hours of Wednesday (8 February), the couple's newborn was struggling to breathe.
Speaking to 7News, she said: "I thought that I could help her, just get sleep and give her my milk.

"I tried to help her, just like normal when babies get sick, they just need sleep... but then she stopped drinking my milk.
"She got really tired and then I looked at her stomach, and you could see her lungs (pulsating)."
After being rushed to hospital, doctors determined that Lucky has a severe bacterial infection and is in an unstable critical condition.

She is currently on a ventilator to help her breathe, with Honey saying the illness has 'taken a serious toll' on Lucky's lungs.
Honey revealed that she and her partner are paying AUS $8,000 (£4,580) to keep their baby alive at Siloam Hospital in Denpasar.
But doctors have said they are not equipped to be able to treat Lucky and that she'll have to be moved elsewhere.
The concerned parents are now desperate to get their baby girl back home to Australia in order to get the treatment she requires.

In today's (10 February) episode of Sunrise, Honey said: "I wish I could just teleport her back to Australia and that she could be in the best hospital."
The mum is hoping to get Lucky to a hospital that is able to determine the exact bacterial infection Lucky has and provide the treatment she requires.
Right now, they are looking at options to have her flown by air ambulance, although they would have to wait until she's in a stable condition to do so.

The family are currently fundraising to help cover the costs. One Australian-based emergency flight company told 7News that while it could help, it would cost around AUS $90,000 (£52,000).
A GoFundMe page setup on behalf of Honey and Pan states: "Lucky has been admitted to hospital and has been transferred to high intensity unit.
"This morning on the 8th of February the doctor said it wasn’t looking good and she may not make it through this.

"She has a severe bacterial infection that has taken a serious toll on her lungs, she is unable to breathe and is on a ventilator which is now breathing for her.
"They are unsure whether or not antibiotics can work as she’s in such an unstable critical condition."
Proceedings would go towards the air ambulance flight, Lucky's medical bills, recovery care, accommodation for the family and Visas to get Pan into Australia.
The campaign said any money leftover would go towards a charity or used to create a non profit establishment that will help children.
