Nice site. Couple of pages and my feeling was "Shut up and take my money". Then more clicking. Oh, you want me to spam my friends? Hmm, I'd rather not do that. Ok, I'll click that scary button anyways. As an IT pro I know you can't actually send emails on my behalf. Good, there was actually a way to proceed without sending emails. Then click-click-click, more pages. Hey, now I can finally give some money! Page even says that payments are processed by PayPal. But.. Something is missing, I can't see any button to actually pay via PayPal.

Summary: giving should be easy. Nowadays I'm not very likely to give money (or even purchase stuff) if I can't do it via PayPal.

I understand the storytelling nature of what they're trying to do. But for more functional folks like you and I, they really should have a button in the middle of that bottom black bar that says "Donate now" and skips ahead.
