Third Annual Northeast Georgia Campaign
This campaign last year was able to bless over 5,600 families by wiping out almost $3,900,000 of medical debt. Pretty incredible! And that brought our two-year total to over $6,500,000 of abolished debt, impacting almost 7,800 families across Georgia.
Last year the campaign prioritized the debt of families in Barrow, Banks, Hall, Jackson, Oconee and Walton counties, and enough was raised to fully satisfy the available debt in those counties but also went on to help families in 132 other counties in Georgia which is just about the entire state. This year we will expand our reach again by adding Gwinnett and Clarke counties to our priority list.
The goal of the campaign is to raise at least $20,000 by the end of September so that recipients can be notified during the holiday season. I’ll be matching half of that amount again this year. I really cannot think of a better way to financially lend a hand to those in need in these communities where I do business and I’m glad to partner with RIP Medical Debt to do so!
My prayer for this campaign can be summed up in the scripture below. Not only that your contribution will be a blessing to someone in need but in making the gift you come to experience the true joy in giving!
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way, they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

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.
