Strangers Paid to Cure Half His Brain. British Columbia Has Paid Nothing.
A nine-year-old is halfway to a cure for a deadly brain AVM after two Germany treatments paid by strangers, while B.C. says its funding review is still underway.
O que sabíamos inicialmente
- $195,000Raised on GoFundMe by mother

- ~$55,000Left earmarked for third treatment
- Two Germany treatments done; half the AVM plus draining veins and aneurysms treated.
- $195,000 raised; about $140,000 spent, about $55,000 left for third treatment.
- B.C. denied funding in March 2026; June appeal under administrative review with no decision.
Então ainda em aberto
- No public timeline or criteria for the review, and no settled ruling on experimental versus proven.

O que dissemos que iríamos acompanhar
- Whether the ministry issues a funding decision before the family must book and pay for the final stage.
- Whether the province clarifies how out-of-country need is judged when the care does not exist at home.
