Help Bring Toby Torres Home for Final Goodbye

We are heartbroken to share that our beloved Toby Torres, just 16 years old, tragically passed away in a devastating car accident in the Philippines shortly after celebrating their Sweet 16.

Toby was full of life, laughter, and love—a bright soul with incredible artistic talent and a kind, creative spirit. A student at Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn, Toby touched many lives through their artwork, their friendships, and their joyful presence.

This unimaginable loss has left our family and community in deep sorrow. Now, we are asking for your help to bring Toby home to Brooklyn, where they can be laid to rest surrounded by the love of family, friends, and the community that helped raise them.

The cost of international repatriation and funeral services is overwhelming. We are humbly asking for donations of any amount to help cover the expenses of:

To those who knew Toby personally, they were probably the funniest and kindest person they've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Toby was a gentle, sweet soul who brought joy and light to every person they met. They were a talented artist, compassionate friend, and beloved cousin and daughter. Toby was a loving sister and aunt to their nephews. There was no one like our little Toe.

Please consider donating, sharing, or simply sending love and prayers. Every gesture matters.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
