Help our Wyoming and Montana Neighbors Eliminate Medical Debt!
Every dollar you donate forgives $100 in Medical Debt
“The Lord’s year of debt cancellation has been announced!” Deuteronomy 15:2c
Please join Christ Episcopal Church, Cody, as we seek to abolish $832,000 of medical debt across our home state of Wyoming, and an additional $1.25 million dollars of medical debt for our neighbors in Montana.
We believe that God longs for the liberation of the oppressed and justice for all people. However, with rising healthcare costs, COVID-19, inflation, and corporate greed infiltrating our healthcare system – many of us have been forced to accumulate medical debt! We ask you to join us, as the hands and feet of Christ, in breaking the chains of injustice and abolishing medical debt in Wyoming and Montana!
Match: The Mission Committee of Christ Episcopal Church, Cody will match, dollar for dollar, the first $5,000 raised in this campaign.

How it works
In the past forty years, medical costs have doubled, insurance copays and deductibles have spiked, and bankruptcy rates have quadrupled, creating an avalanche of destructive medical debt. More than 60% of bankruptcies in America have medical debt as a root cause.
- 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. Recipients have no tax consequences or penalties to consider. Just like that, they’re free of medical debt!
If you plan to donate via check please make it out to Christ Episcopal Church, Cody, write RIP Medical Debt on the memo line and send it to PO Box 1718 Cody, Wyoming 82414.
