Maya Gebala’s Road to Recovery: Hope Amid Tragedy
Maya Gebala’s family finds solace in sitting by her hospital bedside, cherishing the precious moments knowing she is still with them despite the odds. In the wake of the horrific events at Tumbler Ridge Secondary, where Maya was tragically shot in the head and neck on Feb. 10, she was airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital in critical condition, fighting for her life.
However, amidst the outpouring of love and support from across the nation, there are signs of hope as Maya shows gradual improvement each day. Krysta Hunt, Maya’s mother’s cousin, shares that Maya is displaying small but significant signs of progress, such as breathing independently and subtle eye movements, indicating a glimmer of healing.
Initially faced with the difficult decision of organ donation, Maya’s positive trajectory has led to her transfer from end-of-life care to intensive care. The Canadian community, including renowned hockey player Hayley Wickenheiser, has rallied behind Maya, raising over $400,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to ensure her ongoing care and support.
Expressing immense gratitude for the overwhelming support, Hunt emphasizes the importance of extending assistance not only to Maya but also to other families in Tumbler Ridge affected by the tragedy. Understanding the profound impact of loss, Maya’s family urges Canadians to come together and support all those who are enduring the unimaginable pain of losing a loved one.
