Help Our Wisconsin Neighbors Eliminate Medical Debt
Every dollar you donate forgives $100 in Medical Debt
Trinity Episcopal Church’s campaign
Please join Trinity Episcopal Church, Oshkosh, as we seek to forgive $1.2 million in medical debt in Wisconsin. We are compelled by the love that Jesus demonstrated in his life to take on this incredible opportunity for our community to embody the values of the kingdom of God–justice, freedom, and charity. Through this campaign we can provide relief and, most importantly, hope to our neighbors burdened by crippling medical debt. Trinity will match, dollar for dollar, the first $6,000 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!
