Background
Traci absolutely loved animals, especially dogs. She had such a big heart for them and always wanted to help in any way she could. She often said that if she ever won the lottery, she would dedicate her time and resources to helping animals in need through volunteering and donations. That was just who she was—kind, compassionate, and always thinking of others, even the ones without a voice.
