Love this. Great story telling.

A side question, I love that 100% of donations go to medical care. How does the team fund their operational costs?

From their Google Doc transparency file.

"100% of every donation to patients on Watsi directly funds medical treatment - our overhead costs are covered by optional donor tips, cause marketing partnerships, and private donors, foundations and corporations."

Thanks, Josh! Our operational costs are covered by foundations, philanthropists, and donors who leave an optional tip during checkout. More in our FAQ: watsi.org/faq

Donors have an option of "tipping" Watsi apart from the donating to the patient's treatment. But I'm not sure if this alone covers their operating costs.
