Tumbler Ridge school shooting victim, Maya Gebala's prosthetic skull surgery was a success, according to a update on her GoFundMe page.
energeticcity.caHere’s what I can share about Maya Gebala and related GoFundMe efforts based on recent reports:
-
Maya Gebala, a 12-year-old girl from Tumbler Ridge, BC, was one of the victims in a mass shooting at her school. She has undergone surgeries and faced significant medical challenges, with updates noting she moved out of intensive care and into recovery at BC Children’s Hospital, though her condition has fluctuated over time.[4][5]
-
A GoFundMe campaign set up to support Maya and her family gained broad attention and donations in the early days after the incident, reflecting community and donor support for medical and related needs. There were multiple reports covering the fundraising efforts surrounding Maya’s case.[1][4]
-
In April 2026, reports emerged that Maya’s family accepted an opportunity for specialized treatment in Los Angeles, with UFC president Dana White reportedly covering the costs of treatment at a hospital there. This development marked a potential shift toward privatized care and continued rehabilitation outside Canada, with the family also receiving assistance for accommodations as needed.[3]
-
As of May 2026, there were headlines indicating a successful cranioplasty procedure, and ongoing updates suggested continued rehabilitation needs and medical planning, including transitions between care facilities. Public updates on GoFundMe pages and local news outlets continued to track Maya’s progress and family decisions.[8]
