I hope this doesn't sound too corny with Thanksgiving tomorrow and all, but I wanted to thank the HN community for giving us our start. Not only did HN directly fund every medical treatment we had on the site at the time, but the buzz that resulted gave me the confidence to quit my day job, take the plunge, and dedicate myself to Watsi full time.
Most important, thank you for the feedback you provided. It's funny, but whenever I feel like we're losing focus, I come back to the comments on our Show HN (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4424081) to remind myself of what's really important.
In our first three months our volunteer team has processed nearly $30,000 in donations, 100% of which have gone directly to patients in need. And while this is just the start, we wanted to take the time to say thank you HN. Not just from us, but from the 30 people who've received life-changing medical care because of you, and the 3 million more to come.
