This week the highlighted charity is Watsi? What the llama is Watsi? Here is the story and what they do:
"Watsi is a global crowdfunding platform for healthcare that enables anyone to donate as little as $5 to directly fund life-changing medical care for people in need. 100 per cent of every donation funds medical care and they are dedicated to complete transparency."
Where did the idea came from? Here is Chase Adam's story:
“I was serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Costa Rica,” remembers Chase. “I was coming towards the close of my service and I was traveling on a bus. A woman got on the bus and started asking all of the local passengers for help to pay for her son’s medical treatment. People would get on the buses in Central America all the time and either sell things or ask for donations. Usually they don’t raise that much money. But this was different and the majority of the passengers on the bus started giving her donations. I couldn’t understand why everyone trusted this woman but they didn’t trust dozens that had come before her. It turns out they trusted her because she had her son’s medical record with her. They gave her donations, and I gave her a small donation as she got off the bus. I had an epiphany and thought it’s just crazy that we have websites like Kickstarter to fund businesses and creative projects, but we don’t have a website like Watsi, where we can raise funds for healthcare for people that need it.”
