Surfer Bethany Hamilton Pleads With Fans After Nephew Drowned
In 2003, 13-year-old Bethany Hamilton suffered a shark attack while surfing in Hawaii. She lost her arm and many thought she would never surf again. But she recovered and stuck with the sport she always loved.
A month after losing her arm, Bethany headed back to the water. The 2011 film Soul Surfer is based on her story.
But now, Bethany Hamilton and her family need support more than ever before. The surfer, who is now 34, shared another family tragedy on social media and begged her fans for assistance.
See what she had to say.
Bethany Hamilton Relies On Her Faith To Carry Her Through Difficult Times
Years after surviving a shark attack, Bethany Hamilton is now a wife and mother. She’s made appearances on reality television, even appearing in an episode of 19 Kids and Counting.
Faith is an incredibly large part of Bethany’s life and she recently requested prayers from her social media followers.
“HELP‼️ My precious nephew was medivaced to kapiolani in Oahu this morning after drowning last night. He still has a heartbeat and has fight in him,” Bethany shared on Instagram. “We are wrecked. But I know how proper medical support can make or break someone’s chance of survival and in this case we’re asking for help from anyone who has information of what we can do to give my nephew the best chance.”
She attached a photo of the little boy along with some information about Dr. Harch, a physician who treats drowning victims. He reportedly has had success in the past treating people given very little chance of survival.
