Dope story. The Black community needs to start doing this. Numbers are a little funny but the actual process is great.

Since debt collectors are trying to collect pennies on the dollar it doesn’t take much to wipe out a lot of folks medical debt. $22,000 dollars was able to knock out 18 million in medical debt. Kinda shows how ridiculous medical cost can be.

and of course some racist assholes are donating and asking churches not to pay off other faiths or people from different backgrounds but thankfully they ignore these people.
