The big day has come for Lukah Mitchell. This morning through a social media post, Lukah's mom, Tanis Mitchell posted that they got the call last night that they've been waiting for.

An organ donor has been found, and later today Lukah will be undergoing surgery to replace the vital organs she needs to save her life.

She was diagnosed with a tumour in her abdomen earlier this year, however, after surgery she needed to replace a few of her organs.

Lukah is expected to head into surgery later today.

Surgery should be taking place between 3pm and 5pm today and should take approximately 8-14 hours.

Updates are expected though the Mitchell family, and will provide updates to the story as it progresses.
