Covenant Church in Carrollton, Texas recently donated $100,000 to RIP Medical Debt, which helped wipe out $10 million in medical debt for families in need.

Pastor Stephen Hayes was inspired by NBCUniversal. Each year the group purchases about $15 Million dollars in medical debt nationwide. About 2000 Texas families have their medical debt forgiven as part of the purchase.

Last Easter Sunday, Hayes announced to his congregation that Covenant Church would be purchasing $100,000 in medical debt for families in the Carrollton area. The donation means that over 4000 families and veterans in the Carrollton, Texas area are receiving a letter this week saying their medical debt is completely paid off according to nbcdfw.com.
