The fathers met to support each other as the Mwansa family arranges repatriation and funeral plans for their son, while Maya Gebala remains unconscious in hospital.
- On Thursday, Abel Mwansa met David Gebala at BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver to offer support, saying `We encouraged one another yesterday`, Mwansa said.

- Mwansa asked people to continue to pray and shared updates on repatriation efforts, thanking the Tumbler Ridge community for food and support as they prepare for a funeral in Zambia.
- Signs of improvement surfaced when David Gebala wrote, `We were told we only had hours and yet here you are, still fighting, still with us,` and Mwansa called Gebala `a man of faith` in a video posted Friday.
- Abel Mwansa, who shares his son's name, makes funeral plans in Africa while The Canadian Press first published the report on Feb. 20, 2026, highlighting the case's international reach.
