Dana White Offers to Fund U.S. Care for Tumbler Ridge Survivor Maya Gebala

The pledge could open access to a Los Angeles brain trauma program once doctors clear her to travel.

Overview

  • Maya’s mother, in a Wednesday update, said UFC president Dana White will cover treatment at a Los Angeles hospital and housing for the family.
  • Doctors postponed a planned prosthetic skull surgery after finding an abscess, then drained and cleaned it, and lab tests have shown no bacterial growth so far.
  • The family met BC Children’s Hospital staff about moving Maya out of intensive care, and a transfer to the U.S. is considered possible but remains contingent on stable vitals.
  • Cia Edmonds has filed a civil lawsuit against OpenAI alleging staff flagged the shooter’s chats as a risk yet police were not alerted, which the company says did not meet its threshold for imminent harm.
  • Community donations have passed CAD $500,000 as the 12-year-old, shot in the head and neck on February 10, continues a long recovery with limited movement and yes/no paddles for communication.
