It will feel just like shopping at Amazon: you’ll be using your same account. The one thing for you that is different is that you pick a non-profit the first time you go (which you can change whenever you want)…and the good feeling you’ll get.  Shop ’til you help!

I don’t usually mention family things, but I did want to bring this up to you. A couple of close relatives (for example, I went to their superhero themed wedding) are in the running for a free IVF series and the public votes on who gets it. I think people can vote once a day through April 28th. Here’s a video with their infertiity story, and where you can vote for them should you choose to do so.
