Lakeshore Communities, Western MI
Revive Western Michigan
“Michiganders” love living and playing in western Michigan and it’s easy to understand why. With its beautiful beaches on the lakeshore and its cultural attractions like the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, there is so much to be proud of! However, there is the harsh reality that many of its residents are plagued with the issue of unpayable medical debt – particularly in Kent County and the lakeshore counties of Muskegon, Oceana, and Ottawa. Many people flock to Western Michigan as a vacation spot to enjoy fishing, boating, and other recreational activities, but many of its permanent residents find themselves burdened with medical bills that they can’t afford.
With your help, RIP Medical Debt can acquire and eliminate medical debt in these specific counties today. Every dollar donated will abolish $100 of medical debt in the region. Furthermore, to maximize the impact of your donations, RIP Medical Debt has offered to match your donations 1:1 up to $50k!
If your home – or your heart – belongs along this stretch of western Michigan, donating to medical debt relief through this campaign is a way to support your community and build financial equity for your neighbors. And with this powerful donation matching opportunity provided by RIP Medical Debt, there is no better time to do so than now.
100% of the funds donated through this campaign are restricted to medical debt relief in Muskegon, Kent, Ottawa, and Oceana counties. Please donate today and share this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues in the area! For residents of western Michigan, with debt relief on the horizon – the future is bright!
Here is a testimonial from a previous MI beneficiary: “I want to start by saying thank God for you all! I have had so many surgeries and am still in the process of needing more. I have a blood disorder called avascular necrosis and severe anemia, along with a list of other things. I did not know how I was going to pay this bill, but to know that someone out there was willing to pay for it without ever meeting me or knowing my story…..it’s nothing but God! I appreciate you so much and this has truly made my year!” Felicia, MI beneficiary, $4,877.53 abolished

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.
