Michigan UCC – United in Love is a joint effort of United Church of Christ colleagues across Michigan, along with our families, friends and ecumenical partners who are dedicated to the work of relieving medical debt for our neighbors. Our campaign is focused on eliminating medical debt for hundreds of families in Michigan and working together to translate love for our neighbors into action.
RIP Medical Debt has acquired a portion of Michigan’s medical debt totaling $4.0 million and is able to wipe out that amount at a 100:1 ratio. That means that for every dollar you donate, $100 of medical debt is eliminated. Our goal is to raise $40,000 which will eliminate the total $4 million debt.
When this goal is reached, debt relief recipients open the yellow envelope from RIP. They are told that their debt has been bought by a third party and erased with no strings attached. They owe nothing on the debt and face no tax penalty.
We invite you to consider joining us in easing the burdens of Michiganders struggling with unpaid medical debt. Click on the secure “Donate” button to contribute now.
If you have questions, please contact Rev. Dr. Diane Baker at [email protected]

How RIP Works
Over a hundred million Americans, one in three, struggles with the weight of medical debt.
-
You make a donation
We use data analytics to pinpoint the debt of those most in need: households that earn less than 4x the federal poverty level (varies by state, family size) or whose debts are 5% or more of annual income.
-
RIP buys medical debt at a steep discount
We buy debt in bundles, millions of dollars at a time at a fraction of the original cost. This means your donation relieves about 100x its value in medical debt.
-
Together we wipe out medical debt
People across the country receive letters that their debt has been erased. They have no tax consequences or penalties to consider. Just like that, they’re free of medical debt.
