Dana White to Cover Los Angeles Treatment for 12-Year-Old Tumbler Ridge Survivor

A clearing infection gives doctors room to plan an ICU exit before any possible transfer.

Overview

  • Maya Gebala’s mother disclosed Wednesday that UFC president Dana White offered to fund treatment at a top Los Angeles children’s hospital and cover family lodging once doctors deem her stable to fly.
  • Recent tests found no bacterial growth in a drained brain abscess, which prompted staff to discuss moving Maya out of intensive care at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.
  • The 12-year-old suffered gunshot wounds to the head and neck on February 10 and has had multiple brain surgeries, with a bullet fragment still in her brain and limited movement on her right side.
  • Community support continues as a GoFundMe surpassed CAD 500,000, and the UFC earlier honored Maya by displaying her name on the Octagon during an event in February.
  • Separately, Maya’s mother has filed a developing civil lawsuit against OpenAI that news outlets report alleges the shooter used the company’s platform, with the claim still short on public details.
