A church in North Texas is using donations to pay off $2.6 million in medical debt for 2,400 families in Dallas and Rockwall counties.
To mark the milestone anniversary, the church also made contributions to local organizations tackling issues such as human trafficking, homelessness and domestic violence, according to Howerton. The letter was sent to U.S. military veterans, those who make less than two times the federal poverty level, people for whom 5% percent or more of their annual income goes to paying medical bills and people who have greater medical debt than assets.
Craig Antico, co-founder and chief operating officer of RIP Medical Debt, told ABC News on Thursday that the collaboration with the church began in May 2019, when the church first reached out to the organization about the project.
