let's abolish medical debt in Atlanta

Good morning. Y'all ready to do some good this week?

In 2023 and 2024, How I'd Fix Atlanta partnered with a nonprofit organization called Undue Medical Debt. We raised more than $40,000 in donations from folks like you, money that Undue used to abolish nearly $7 million of medical debts for families all over Georgia. This year, we’re starting with a goal of $10,000, but are hoping to raise much more.

Here's our campaign page. If there's anything you take away from this email, it's that you should click that link, donate what you can, and share it with everyone you know.

Please post it on your social channels. Drop it in your group chats. Bug your rich friends. Send it to coworkers. Get your employer to match your donation. We'll spend the next week or so seeing how much money we can raise to abolish medical debt in the ATL metro area. It's gonna be great.

Here's how it works: on average, $10 is leveraged to abolish $1,000 in medical debt. (Put another way: if you donate $100, you'll cancel out $10,000!) When someone's debt is wiped out, they get an envelope in the mail from Undue Medical Debt letting them know that their burden has been lifted. Erased with no strings attached. They owe nothing and face no tax penalty. Pretty rad, right?

That's all for now. Wanna partner with us to spread the word? Do a giveaway to encourage donors? Have some weird promo ideas? Just reply to this email.

I'll be in touch as we start making some progress. Thank you so much.
