An interview with TI member Louise Losos on how she and her spouse use RaiseRight to benefit our community.

Tell us what you love about using RaiseRight? 
"I love how simple it is to use RaiseRight and how I don't have to do much of anything but am still making money for TI, just by doing our shopping. Win-win!"

What's your favorite store to use your RaiseRight app?  
"Petsmart is our favorite because we buy food, toys, treats, and all the finer feline things for our beloved cat, Allie."   

"We also love Target and Home Depot. We've also used it for Panera and California Pizza Kitchen. RaiseRight permeates our everyday lives. I try to remember and check whenever we go shopping, particularly at stores where the bill goes up very quickly. And if we use a store on a consistent basis and we don't use the whole gift card, we know we will be back soon; it's nice to have money on hand!"

What are your thoughts on the new and improved app?
"I only buy e-gift cards now. When I'm at the checkout, I bring up the app, buy a gift card in an amount to cover my total, and use it at the register. Easy, right? Sometimes I won't realize I'm at a store that's a part of RaiseRight, and I'll fumble around in the final moments of checkout to make sure I use it to purchase my goodies."

What would you tell other TI members who keep hearing about RaiseRight, but haven't yet downloaded the app?
"You can do this! Truly, I can't believe everyone isn't doing it already! I love the fact that I can be going about my shopping, doing what I would be doing anyway, and make money for TI. It's not adding to my cost at all, and it is so easy to do!"
