It is hard not to be overwhelmed by such sadness. I feel, the list of patients shouldn't be so sad. There should be, at the right, a panel of patients who have been treated, to make it more upbeat. And the goal, is to make patients from the left go to the right. I hope you see what I mean. If it was less depressing, we wouldn't shut out from the cause, from so much pain to deal with. Because as it is, to help it means to accept there is so much pain in the world. Whereas if we see also the treated patients, then we know at the same time that there is help too, and it isn't so bad, so the reason doesn't shut out. This is only my opinion. Maybe it works better like that. (edit: nevermind, I saw there are fully funded people at the bottom. I feel like a fool, now.)
Awesome news, congrats team. For any Watsi folks here, do you all have any plans for more development-type work for the long term, or are you more focused on providing immediate relief as you are now?
I finally signed up. I really like the Universal Fund option – I found the prospect of choosing between many deserving people very daunting. Thanks for building Watsi!
So just a question and this probably is stupid. But what to investors expect to gain from an investment into a nonprofit? Are the expecting to get their money back somehow? Are they expecting to get more than the money they invested back, and if so where would that come from? Or is it basically equivalent to a large charitable donation they are making, where none of their investments will ever come back to them in monetary form?
congrats ya'll, what happened in the past couple months to spike the number of patients funded? Would love to hear more about 'growth hacking' a charity like this.
