Meet Our Team
Donna Lynes-Miller
FOUNDER, PRESIDENT 501(c)(3) and Mexican AC
Donna moved from Atlanta to SMA in 2018 and found herself friends with a group of animal lovers. Their first projects were a small food bank, support for independent rescuers and four sterilization clinics. They witnessed horrific animal suffering and concluded that sterilization was the most sustainable way to end the suffering. In 2024 they formalized Rosey’s Wish (El Deseo de Rosey SMA) by forming a U.S. 501(c)(3) and a Mexican A.C.
Donna has 20 years’ experience with Atlanta based non-profits as President of three supply chain cooperatives. Over 5,000 member restaurants from national brands (Arby’s Roast Beef, Church’s Chicken and Popeyes) benefited from collective negotiations of over $1 billion in annual contracts.
Donna’s love for animals is the driving force behind Rosey’s Wish. She rescued 17 Borzoi over a 40-year period. Since moving to SMA she has rescued and adopted three adorable dogs from the streets of SMA. Pictured is Donna with Rosey.
Samara Montaño
Treasurer 501(c)(3) and Mexican AC
Samara has all the qualifications to be our Treasurer – an avid dog lover with a background in finance and experience with one of San Miguel’s outstanding veterinary clinics. Samy lived in Mexico City for 27 years where she worked in finance for 10 years for Ixe Banco S.A., merging with Grupo Financiero Banorte in 2011. She and her family moved to San Miguel de Allende in December 2016 to experience small-town life. Samy’s love for animals drew her to PetVet, a veterinary clinic where she worked in administration for 8 years.
Samy has been a supporter of Rosey’s Wish since 2023, when she started volunteering at our sterilization clinics. Her experience provides a 2-way grasp on the relationship between clinic operations and finance.
Samy’s passion is her pack of dogs. She has 10 rescue dogs in total and is pictured here with Patch, the 80 lb. baby from the pack.
Cacho Molina Sotelo
