It is something to celebrate when an idea, a figment of imagination—turns into reality. It is even more so when the realization of such an idea means convincing many individuals, particularly bureaucrats, that this is worthy of support. Even more commendable it is when it happens in our own backyard: San Miguel de Allende! On October 28th, donors and supporters were offered the first look at the Hospice Care Mitigare Lee Carter Center—the first such center in San Miguel, the first in Mexico, and the first successful collaboration between a group of expats, local Sanmiguelenses, and the city government to create a place that will serve the entire community. It is the fulfillment of an 18-year dream of Lee Carter, its founder.
