<p>Amanda Eller was found injured in the Makawao Forest Reserve, the Maui News reported.</p>
<p>Family spokeswoman Sarah Haynes confirmed she had spoken with Ms Eller’s father, John. Ms Eller was airlifted to safety.</p>
<p><em>“I was crying tears of joy,”</em> said Ms Eller’s mother, Julia. <em>“I never gave up hope for a minute. I knew that we would find her.”</em></p>
<p>The physical therapist from the Maui town of Haiku went missing on May 8. Her vehicle was found in the forest car park with her phone and wallet inside.</p>
<p>Hundreds of volunteers have searched for her since. Ms Eller’s parents had offered a reward to encourage people to find her.</p>
<p>Javier Cantellops said he was searching for Ms Eller from a helicopter along with Chris Berquist and Troy Helmers when they spotted her near the Kailua reservoir, according to Maui Police Department spokesman Lt Gregg Okamoto and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.</p>
<p>Mr Cantellops told the newspaper that she was in the bed of a creek with waterfalls on either side.</p>
<p>He told CNN he saw Ms Eller waving her hands at the helicopter.</p>
<p><em>“It was unbelievable, dude,”</em> Mr Cantellops said. <em>“Seeing her for the first time in a long time was just unbelievable. It was nothing short of elation.”</em></p>
<p>Ms Eller was in an area with thick vegetation, he said.<em> “That vegetation is so thick, it’s a miracle that we saw her,”</em> Mr Cantellops said.</p>
<p>The Maui Fire Department brought Ms Eller to hospital for evaluation.</p>
<p>Her mother told the Maui News that Amanda survived by staying near a water source and eating wild raspberries and strawberry guavas. She even ate a couple of moths, Julia Eller said.</p>
<p>Her daughter tried to catch some crawfish, but she was “not very successful”, her mother said.</p>
<p><em>“She lost quite a bit of weight, as you can imagine, being lost for that amount of time,”</em> Mrs Eller said.<em> “But she was able to survive it. She had the right skills and did the right things to buy time so that we had a chance to find her.”</em></p>
<p>Ms Eller suffered a leg fracture, abrasions on her ankles and severe sunburn, but Mrs Eller told the Maui News that her daughter’s spirits were good.</p>
<p><em>“And all of those things are treatable,”</em> she said.</p>
