“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead said this.
Traci Ruiz saw a need, made a plan, and changed someone’s life without expecting anything in return.
She welcomed Mrs. Salinas into her world and made sure her final years were full of care, respect, and love.
And almost exactly a year after Mrs. Salinas died, Traci was contacted by @susiesingercarter
On Tuesday, August 9, Traci will be hosting a special event at Urban Beat highlighting a documentary by Susie Singer Carter #nocountryforoldpeople on elder care where her story and Mrs. Salinas’s journey are beautifully shared.

Join us tonight for the watch party.
