As former President Jimmy Carter lives out his final days in hospice care, a Habitat For Humanity of San Antonio official shares fond memories about Carter.
at his Georgia home. After a series of short hospital stays, a statement said, Carter “decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”
“In this time in his life, he continues to get to be at his home, and I can only guess that he wanted that for thousands of other people, too, that stability that homeownership brings. He truly has provided homeownership to thousands of people across the country and world,” Weise said. Weise describes the Carters as amazing supporters, willing to get their hands dirty in building Habitat homes. To continue the Carter’s legacy and honor his work, Weise said the nonprofit will continue to build.
“So, our plan is to build 60 homes in our local area this year in partnership with families in need. I know, I know President Carter loved partnership, and that’s what Habitat’s about,” Weise said.
