Mom of Tumbler Ridge victim Maya Gebala wants no more mail
The family of Maya Gebala has received over 1,500 pieces of mail since a social media post, with daily deliveries of about 50 items overwhelming them, the mother said.
- On March 13, 2026, Cia Edmonds asked well-wishers to stop sending letters and packages to her family after an outpouring of support overwhelmed the household caring for her gravely ill daughter.
- Maya Gebala, 12 years old, was shot three times and suffered severe brain injuries in the Feb. 10 mass shooting that left eight victims dead in the remote B.C. community of Tumbler Ridge.
- Edmonds shared photos of stacks of boxes including Amazon packages and bundles of mail, with the family receiving daily batches of 50 pieces after posting an address on social media.
- The family is "desperately trying to transfer out" of the Vancouver hospital where Gebala is cared for and may need a storage unit for overflow mail. Edmonds said "We aren't able to get through it fast enough."
- Edmonds initially sought letters to harness "collective love and positivity," but the household has received more than 1,500 pieces of mail since posting the address, prompting the temporary pause request reported by The Canadian Press.
