She had a broken neck, back, and leg and was given just a 10% chance of survival, but she incredibly managed to beat the odds to survive with no brain damage. After three weeks on a trauma ward being fed through a tube, she is now using a wheelchair and has opened up about the abuse she suffered at the hands of her boyfriend.

"My family tried to warn me because they could see through his manipulation, so he constantly put them down and blamed them for my insecurities. "He made me feel like he was the only person who truly loved me."

A <a href="https://au.gofundme.com/f/mdcg4c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GoFundMe</a> has now been set up by Georgia's friends, which reads: "She has had a lot of surgeries but she will still have a massive recovery ahead. "There is going to be a lot of cost to get our girl back on her feet as she may never be able to walk properly again. "The money will be going to get her Dialectical behavior therapy as well as rehab and other treatments along the way."

"Please speak to a family member or a close friend that you trust, ask them for help, and organize a plan to get out of the dangerous situation," she said.
