Tracy’s Sanctuary House
In August 2004, Tracy Rittel was in a fatal car accident near Fargo. While Tracy battled for her life, her family had trouble finding a place to stay near the hospital.
From that experience, the Rittels created Tracy’s Sanctuary House in Bismarck for families who find themselves in a similar situation. Since 2005, some 1,500 families have used the home.
A dozen volunteers “put their hearts and souls into making sure the house is kept up,” says Tracy’s daughter Kelsey Zottnick.
