Dana White Works to Secure U.S. Care for Tumbler Ridge Survivor Maya Gebala

The push highlights the steep hurdles families face when arranging private treatment across the border for specialized rehab.

Overview

  • Dana White, speaking after Saturday’s UFC event in Winnipeg, said he contacted Maya Gebala’s family and is working to line up U.S. treatment options.
  • Maya’s mother said in an April 9 Facebook post that her 12-year-old daughter is stable, out of intensive care at BC Children’s Hospital, and set to pursue privatized rehabilitation in Los Angeles.
  • White named UFC executives Lenee Breckenridge and Hunter Campbell as part of the team handling logistics, and he described the transfer process as far more complex than people assume.
  • Some outlets reported the family had already been flown to the United States with costs covered, but White said the arrangements are still a work in progress.
  • Gebala suffered gunshot wounds to the head and neck in the Feb. 10 Tumbler Ridge attack that killed eight, the shooter died by suicide, and her parents have also filed a lawsuit that references OpenAI.
