She was airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital and remains in critical condition.

A bullet remains lodged in her and shards are still in her brain, but she is fighting for her life and showing small signs of improvement.

Her family has received many donations to support her long and expensive road to recovery.

Pray for Maya and her family.
