Season by season, Summer-Fall-Winter-Spring, medical debt racks up, with medical bills contributing to a majority of U.S. bankruptcies. Now it’s open season on medical debt in the Synod of the Trinity, Presbyterian Church USA. Make the choice to hunt down and abolish medical debt for our neighbors within the geographic area of the Synod (Pennsylvania, southeastern Ohio, and all of West Virginia except the eastern panhandle). Thanks to Bower Hill Community Church for initiating this campaign, giving all of us together the opportunity to significantly impact the lives of our neighbors.
What are the targets?
- Medical debt in collection for our neighbors in the Synod of the Trinity who earn less than 4 times the poverty rate or whose debt is 5% or more of their income.
- $500,000 donated by members of the Synod of the Trinity, which could abolish nearly 50 million dollars in medical debt.
What are the benefits?
- You can take a tax deduction for your donation.
- The debt is removed from the credit reports of our neighbors and they have one less thing to worry about.
Want to help? Here’s how!
- Click on the donate button on the right or donate to the RIP fund at your church. Any amount will help. If every member of the Synod donates 5 bucks we will easily hit our target of $500,000. This could abolish nearly $50 million (yes, million!) in medical debt for our neighbors.

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.
