Outlook Inspirations nominee Isaiah Acosta was born with situs inversus, which meant all his major organs were in the wrong place, and he hadn't developed a jaw bone. His mother Tarah Acosta was told his life expectancy would be limited and he'd be bedbound. Despite doctors' predictions, Isaiah survived and is able to walk. He does use medical machinery to get food and oxygen, but is unable to speak. Regardless, he's gone on to fulfil his dream of becoming a rapper, with the help of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and musician Trap House.
