I'm the exact opposite, which is why I love Watsi and have donated even though I've never been a donating kind of person. I don't like giving money to something that feels abstract, where I don't really know how the money is being used for. I think what makes Watsi compelling is that we are supporting individual, specific people; solving a concrete, easily solvable problem (as opposed to, say, hunger, which requires more long term support); and lastly, the solution is low-cost, as opposed to hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. The combination of these three factors is what I think makes Watsi a winning recipe that will entice people like myself who have always wanted to give but never felt comfortable with the current options of donation.
