Only $10,000 is needed to forgive $2 million of medical debt for NYC and Westchester!
1/3 of all GoFundMe campaigns are for medical bills but only 12% of them succeed.
Medical illness and bills contribute to 2/3 of all bankruptcies in the USA.
This is your unique opportunity to strike directly at the source of anguish for so many of our friends, family, and neighbors. Will you help?
Background Information:
I decided to partner with the non-profit, RIP Medical Debt, an organization that raises funds in order to purchase debt from the secondary debt market and from healthcare providers. The debt is purchased in bundled portfolios to relieve debt for thousands of people. Since the organization purchases medical debt in bulk, they are able to purchase debt for pennies on the dollar.
RIP Medical Debt currently has access to $2 million of medical debt in the NYC and Westchester region. This fundraiser targets debt representing at least 5% of an individual’s annual income or for those who earn less than 4x the federal poverty level.
Many New Yorkers have health insurance coverage so inadequate that a major illness or injury leads to financial ruin. Our country stands in stark contrast to most developed nations that have a public universal healthcare system. Our current patchwork system of privatized healthcare leaves numerous people underinsured or uninsured. Many of us have witnessed the failure of healthcare providers and the insurance industry in our own personal lives or the lives of our loved ones.
Help us reach our goal and we can send letters to some of our neighbors, friends, and family informing them that their debt has been destroyed.

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.
