Your website is excellent, I've helped five people so far.

Just two suggestions:

1. Please give me a way to view who I have helped. A followup story would be great too.

2. Please give me a way to find out about new people

Also, on your "donate to help cover our overhead" page, you might consider giving suggested donation amounts. I have no idea what your overhead is, what amount would help you reach more patients, what your current funding is, etc.

Providing suggested amounts may also boost donations (see http://www.fastcodesign.com/1669882/how-touchscreen-buttons-...)

Kiva (a similar site for microlending to entrepreneurs in third-world countries) does this. From my personal experience, it's been quite effective and encouraged me to occasionally donate while lending to entrepreneurs.

Will do. This is a great idea. We're hoping to even have a fundraising bar ($X raised out of $X needed this month) to encourage people to give.
