In lieu of flowers
Background
Isabel was a proud Boricua whose heart always belonged to her beloved island of Puerto Rico. Every visit home filled her with joy — the familiar warmth of the people, the music, the flavors, and the beauty of the land she cherished so deeply. Whenever her health allowed, she made the journey back to reconnect with her roots and the place that shaped her spirit.
Even years after Hurricane Maria’s devastation in September 2017, the island continues to bear the scars of that storm. Many communities are still rebuilding, and the echoes of loss remain. In Isabel’s memory, we ask that you join us in helping to restore the heart of Puerto Rico — the island she loved so dearly.
Acknowledgements: The Torres family acknowledges with sincere appreciation every thought and act of kindness expressed to us during this difficult time.

About Arbor Day Foundation
Each year, the Arbor Day Foundation plants millions of trees across the globe to help clean our drinking water, filter the air, slow climate change, and protect critical wildlife habitats. The need for trees in our forests is greater than ever before. Wildfires, disease, and deforestation have destroyed millions of acres of trees, and your donation will help bring these forests back to life.Frequently asked questions
