“I have lived a long time without answering phone calls because of creditors or not opening mail because the stress of more bills is just too overwhelming. Because of you, I am able to start getting on my feet. What you are doing is amazing and I can’t thank you enough. I work multiple jobs without being able to catch up but you’ve really made it possible for me to be able to pay off some things. Thank you so so much!”
— Kahea
I am forever grateful! Thank you so much for what you do! Word cannot express the impact you have had on this stranger’s life! Thank you!
— Misty
You have truly blessed our lives with your generosity, compassion, and love. On behalf of both my son Stefvon and myself, I say thank you.
— Shannon
I don’t know what to say but thank you and I am crying right now. I don’t know some days how I am going to pay all the bills. I am drowning in medical debt and have so many medical issues. I never contacted anyone about this so this was a surprise to read when I opened it up. Thank you again, I can’t express how much this means to me
— Sara C.
I was immediately struck by the creative manner in which your organization takes a system meant to prey upon those struggling with medical debt and turns it upside down to offer much-needed relief to those same people. We at Kairos are grateful for the opportunity your organization provides to partner in restoring economic freedom and power to our brothers and sisters with medical debt.
— Audrey B.
As an employee of a healthcare org & the family member of chronically ill I know how the costs can pile up. For those without the resources, it is devastating. Thank you for what you do!
— Sara B.
I never felt that I had enough money to give to a good cause that would make a difference. With RIP Medical Debt, I feel like even my modest gift can really make a difference!
— Linda B.
I am grateful for the work you are doing. You enable me, a retired nurse, to continue to have an impact on people’s health care. It increases access by removing the penalty/punishment for needing healthcare in the past. Hopefully, this is done without judgment about the care received
— Mary Elizabeth K.
This is exactly the kind of nonprofit charity I was looking for, and the transparency and fund allocation, as well as efficiency, ticked off all the boxes for me.
