Holy Faith Offers Match of $5,000!!!

The people of Holy Faith Church in Saline, Michigan, are focusing on relieving hunger in our community and beyond. When we learned that medical debt is often a root cause of hunger with people being forced to choose between buying food or getting necessary medical treatment, we were disturbed and saddened.

Some folks are living with debt and have no relief in sight often causing emotional, mental, and spiritual distress.

We decided to take action!

Along with our direct efforts to provide food through our community garden and working with the area social service programs we are committed to facing hunger head-on through Undue Medical Debt. This campaign will be a success because it multiplies our efforts and reminds us that this is a story of loaves and fishes. We offer what we can and it is multiplied as we strive to meet the needs of our neighbors. It seems many of us have stories of the grave impact that healthcare debt has had on our lives. Share your stories! Then make a donation and encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same.

Join us, and together we can turn the tide!

How Undue Works

Over a hundred million Americans, one in three, struggles with the weight of medical debt.

Who We Help

Debt Resources

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.
Undue 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
- People across the country receive letters that their debt has been erased. They have no tax consequences or penalties to consider. Just like that, they’re free of medical debt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my donation tax deductible?

Yes. We are a 501(c)(3) charity and your donation is 100% tax deductible.

Who qualifies for medical debt relief?

When we purchase a portfolio of medical debt, we abolish debt for individuals who:

Earn 4x or below the federal poverty level
Have medical debt that is 5 percent or more of their annual income.

We only buy debt that meets at least one of these criteria.

We never collect on debt we purchase, only relieve it.

Do recipients of debt relief have any adverse consequences?

No. With your help, we abolish medical debt permanently. Recipients have no adverse tax consequences, obligations or strings attached.

Medical debt relief is a gift from a detached and disinterested third party (Undue) as an act of generosity, so relief of the debt does not count as income to the debtor. We will not file a Form 1099-C with the IRS.

Can donors see whose debt is relieved by their donation?

Due to HIPAA laws, Undue Medical Debt cannot disclose the names, contact information or any other specific details of the debt relief beneficiaries.

Can I apply for debt relief?

Undue Medical Debt cannot relieve debt by individual request.

While we would love to help everyone who needs assistance, Undue cannot abolish medical debt for specific individuals. We acquire large, bundled portfolios of debt to help thousands of people at once and we can only erase debts that providers like hospitals and physicians are willing to sell to us.

Because medical debt affects so many people who may not have debt accounts in the portfolios we purchase, we have compiled a list of resources that may be able to help.

About Undue

Undue Medical Debt is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit which leverages donations to buy large, bundled medical debts at steep discounts, providing immediate, no strings attached relief to financially vulnerable families. On average one dollar donated erases $100 of medical debt. We also help people with medical debt share their stories, which informs our approach to fixing the healthcare system, whether by policy solutions or collaborating with likeminded partners.
