I have been a Universal Fund member since 2014.

Watsi has this Impact page where you can see every person you've helped — their photo, their story, the country. I visit it more often than I'd like to admit.

I have been building a startup since the last couple of years and as we all know it is relentless. There are weeks where nothing seems to work, where you question every decision. In those moments, pulling up that page and seeing real people whose lives changed because of a few dollars a month — it resets something. It reminds me why building things that matter is worth the grind.

Thank you to everyone at Watsi for creating something that gives back to donors just as much as it gives to patients.

Thank you aaur0 - you have no idea how much this means to us. Grateful for every ounce of good news and good health we can spread in this world.

I couldn't remember when I joined, but it turns out 2014 too. From that date and dang's comment below, I found the HN submission that motivated me to join:

@chaseadam17 -

This is where I learned about Watsi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlT3UhC7NwQ

I attended it in person. Very inspiring!

Another 2014 batch member here. Hard to believe it is over 10 years I've been contributing to Watsi.
