“Pray for my little man”: Community rally behind 10-year-old gravely injured in helicopter collision
The extended community surrounding the Sydney boy and mum who were on board the helicopter that crashed at Sea World have come together in pray for the "precious little boy" and to mourn the loss of his mother.
Nicholas Tadros, 10, was critically injured in the Gold Coast crash, while his mum Vanessa Tadros, 36, died.
Vanessa Tadros’ sister-in-law, Bile Miloseska, wrote online on Wednesday morning that she had “an absolute broken heart” following the tragic accident.
“On Monday we lost an absolute angel of a woman,” she said.
“Our beautiful nephew, Nicky is in the ICU recovering from his injuries.”
Miloseska asked family and friends to join her in praying for “total healing for this precious little boy”.
A GoFundMe has been organised for the Tadros family, as it is understood Nicholas Tadros has had multiple operations.
Rochelle Fajloun, a close friend of Vanessa Tadros, wrote that “Nicholas is critically injured and on life support as he fights for his life in a Gold Coast hospital, with his father by his side”.
“We are praying for a miracle that our Nicky, (as he is playfully known) can be brought back to his grief stricken father Simon,” she said.
“If by God’s grace Nicky survives his catastrophic injuries, he will have an intense and protracted recovery period. Please keep him in your prayers.
Simon Tadros took to social media to thank those who have supported his family, asking that everyone continue to pray for his son.
“I do ask that if everyone can please say a prayer for Nicky , so he can wake up and make a good recovery,” he said.
“He is in an induced coma on a life support machine to help him breathe.
“He is in a very serious and critical state.”
He asked on a family friend’s social media post that everyone “pray for my little man”.
“Pray that God will show some mercy and bring him back to me.”
Friends and family have rallied around Simon and Nicholas Tadros, remembering Vanessa Tadros as a “beautfiul woman”.
Norma-Marie Abboud said she was “so lost for words”.
“Rest in peace beautiful angel.”
