Exciting Announcement About NC DHHS Plan!

Summer Campaign Aids 2,544 NC Households!

Our Summer 2024 Campaign targeted 14 counties west of Forsyth - in the "High Country."  Many of these counties are very challenged for health care.  In July and August, we raised $13,828.90, which included help from Fries Memorial Moravian Church and Moravia Moravian Church, and donations from many individuals.  We specified that any "overflow" could be used in any other NC county.  At the end, Undue Medical Debt was able to purchase a total of $3,817,084.95 in past-due medical debts owed by 2,544 NC households.

Forgiving Medical Debt

Trinity Moravian Church is partnering with Undue Medical Debt to purchase and forgive medical debt in our area.

Our first project in 2022 was able purchase — and forgive —  $1,165,796.61 in medical debts in Forsyth and Davidson counties, assisting a total of 1,356 real Triad families.   Our second campaign completed on January 31st, 2023, and was able to purchase $3,295,863.64 in medical debts.  We were able to help 3,133 families in Davidson county, 155 families in Davie county, and 67 families in Yadkin county.  Our third campaign focused on Yadkin, Surry, Stokes, Randolph, Allegehany, Davie, Guilford, Wilkes, Forsyth ,and Rockingham counties.  We were able to help 2,511 families by forgiving $3.6 million in debt.  Our fourth campaign targeted Wake County, purchasing $6,560,412 in medical debt, and aiding 2,973 families.

How can we do this?  Medical debt is often sold off to a secondary market for pennies on the dollar.  Undue Medical Debt has created a visionary system where they intervene and buy that hard-to-collect debt for a penny on the dollar.

1 in 4 Americans owes medical debt that cannot be immediately paid.  More than half the personal bankruptcies in the US are due to medical debt.  The US is the only industrialized nation where an illness can reduce a family to poverty.  Until recently, medical debt was included in credit reports, crippling families’ ability to rent an apartment or buy a car.  Families working paycheck-to-paycheck who were “making it” before are driven into poverty by an illness or an accident, and the subsequent medical debt.
