Thank You for Your Generosity!
July 10, 2022 marked the end of the campaign to relieve medical debt sponsored by the Mission Outreach Council and the Justice & Peace Council. The two councils joined forces to shine the light on the crippling effect of medical debt on so many and to challenge our Cathedral family to raise $5,000. Dean Thompson pledged an additional $5,000 from his discretionary funds for the cause.
We hoped that we could meet this goal. The medical debt initiative cleaved to the vision action plan “Rooted in Christ/Built on Christ’s initiatives “Serving the World in God’s Name,” by engaging new outreach and justice initiatives to embody the Gospel in the world.
We shared with you the details of the medical debt situation throughout the United States and explained that we were partnering with a nationally known 501(c)(3) nonprofit – RIP Medical Debt – that locates, buys and forgives unpaid medical debt.
We asked and you responded generously and with compassion. We are pleased to announce that, including the contribution by Dean Thompson, more than $29,300 was raised – more than 5 times our goal! This amount exceeded all of our expectations and will allow us to relieve over $2,000,000 of medical debt. Once again, the Cathedral has shown a commitment and willingness to help those in need. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity. Each contribution has had a tremendous effect and will allow so many to be relieved of their medical debt.
