Yanaisa was a hero and wanted to help people however she could. Her dream was to be a first responder and save lives. After finishing the Hialeah Fire Cadet program in 2019 she finished her EMT and completed Fire Academy training. She was also a hard worker and worked as an EMT at Miami Dade Ambulance while she was going to school. Everyone who met her was a better person for it.

On February 11th at 4am, heading home with her partner after a shift, they saw a car accident and decided to stop to help. As she was tending to the victim of the crash, another car came from behind and crashed into them both, killing Yanaisa on impact and severely injuring her partner.

All Yanaisa wanted to do was help people and save lives. We are asking for help from the community that she loved so much. Please help us honor this hero.

*All funds will go to Yanaisa’s mother, Dayami Apaulaza, and family for Yanaisa’s funeral and the family’s expenses as they navigate through this difficult time.*
