Honoring Her Memory~Our 'Lucky Shadow' Zyla Nyahay

On June 28th, 2023 God called Zyla Faustina Pelagia Nyahay home, our hearts were broken but Heaven got a lot brighter.

Despite her tender age, she showed unparalleled strength, resilience, and a radiant spirit that touched the lives of all who knew her. Zyla inspired everyone she encountered with her infectious laughter, unwavering determination, boundless strength, bravery, and indomitable-perpetual spirit. Throughout her battle with cancer, Fibrolamellar Carcinoma (1 out of 5 million), she displayed remarkable courage and a radiant smile that defied the pain she endured. She brought hope, faith and joy to those around her, reminding us all of the preciousness of life and the strength of the human spirit.

Why We Need Your Help:

In this time of immense sorrow, we come together as a community to raise funds to give Zyla the dignified farewell she deserves. Our goal is to ensure that Zyla's parents, Edward and Jacqueline, can focus on honoring her memory instead of worrying about the financial burden of arranging her Memorial, Funeral Mass and respecting her last request of spreading her ashes in Hawaii.

Your support will allow her family to create a meaningful farewell, one that reflects her vibrant spirit and brings comfort to those whose lives she touched and loved so much. Every donation, no matter how large or small, makes a significant impact. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and generosity. While your financial support is essential, sharing this GoFundMe campaign on your social media platforms, with friends, and within your communities will make a significant difference. Please use the hashtag #ZylaNyahay #RememberingOurLuckyShadow #GodBlessZyla to raise awareness and encourage others to join us in honoring Zyla's beautiful memory.

Zyla was an exceptional soul, only 22 years old, (10-year SAG/AFTRA Actress, Creative Artist, Honor Roll Student, Volunteer, Youtuber https://www.youtube.com/zylasworld) but her impact was immeasurable. Her warm heart, infectious smile, and vivacious spirit touched the lives of everyone around her. Even in the face of adversity, she remained an inspiration to us all, teaching us valuable life lessons about resilience, hope, faith in God and the beauty of cherishing every moment by living your best life.
