Chase this is super awesome! However, I hit a small snag. I wanted to go above the $20 and donate a total of $50 but Watsi won't let me because my gift card only has $20. I tried to sign up but couldn't find the button and eventually had to Google to find it. Maybe add a sign up button next to sign in, or allow me to donate $50 by adding a card now (when I hit donate).<p>Bilateral club foot is something that I struggled with as a child, I am extremely happy that I will help someone else to have the corrective surgery and lead a normal life. Thanks for that opportunity.<p>Thanks to you, Chase, for Watsi and thanks to Segment for making my life as a developer much easier by taking the pain out of implementing analytics in my software. Much love to both of you!<p>EDIT: Even after signing up and adding my credit card, I still can't donate more than $20 until I spend my gift card. Guess I'm making two donations.<p>EDIT2: Let me give Watsi more than a $6 tip! :)
We want to thank the team at Segment for making such a generous donation to Watsi patients.<p>Segment not only buys Watsi gift cards for each of their new employees, but they donate their product (which we love) to Watsi so we can fund healthcare for more patients using the best tools available.<p>They are amazing :)
Wow, thank you! It took less than 90 minutes for all 1,000 of Segment's gift cards to be claimed.<p>You can still buy a gift card here: <a href="https://watsi.org/gift-cards" rel="nofollow">https://watsi.org/gift-cards</a>. They're a holiday gift that's perfect for everyone and 100% of every gift card funds life-changing healthcare.
This is really great! You can also head over to the Pay It Forward Bundle <a href="https://payitforwardbundle.com" rel="nofollow">https://payitforwardbundle.com</a><p>100% of the donations go to Watsi. We've nearly hit $100k in just about a week. Every bit helps!
Wow - can't believe I got in early enough to get one. Awesome. Does anyone know what the difference is between segment.io and Tealium, for instance?<p>EDIT: It went to my spam box - :( :(. Not a problem for me but its a shame if Watsi is being labeled as spam by outlook.
It's neat that I didn't have to create an account to use the gift card, but I fat-fingered my email address when using it. I don't think I'll get an email confirming my donation (typed ".co.m" instead of ".com") because of this. Not sure how I can self-service fix this since I never created an account.
I'm glad this came up on HN. I got an email telling me to claim my gift card and thought it was some sort of voucher for an online store. Just realised it is used to make a free donation on Watsi. I have since sent it on to a family member.
I have a $20 Watsi gift card (I received a while back) that I would like to give to someone who is interested in signing up for Watsi. If you're interested, please email me (see my profile) with your email address.<p>Edit: Card has been claimed. Thanks!
