A 20-year-old hairdresser is fighting for life after plunging seven storeys from a building.

It is unclear how Ms Reid came to fall from the building at 1.30am. She has since undergone several operations to save her life.

Her dad Brad Reid said it was a ‘miracle’ his daughter had survived.
‘After the longest week of life-saving surgeries she has miraculously defied the odds and is still with us,’ he said.
‘She has the biggest fight ahead of her but is one of the strongest people I know and is ready for this fight! T-Bomb will come out of this stronger than ever!’
Ms Reid’s aunt Kristin Small has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to support the family as she recovers. So far they have raised more than $42,000.
Ms Small said her niece ‘truly is the definition of a survivor’.

The ‘sweet, clever, brave’ young woman turns 21 next month.
‘Tominey’s personality radiates warmth and resilience even during these trying times. Tom has a range of very serious injuries however she is responding well,’ Ms Small wrote.
‘This appeal aims to not only assist with her ongoing medical/rehabilitation expenses but also provide support for her mortgage and other financial responsibilities.’
