So, here’s the deal. IN the us, the #1 cause of bankruptcy is medical debt.

According to the atlantic, “The combination of unemployment and poor health can then lead to financial ruin. Nerdwallet estimated that 57.1 percent of U.S. personal bankruptcies are due to medical bills, making it the leading cause of the financial calamity that often precedes homelessness.”

UNDUE MEDICAL DEBT is an amazing organization which buys up people’s medical debt in bundles (at pennies on the dollar) and then rather than attempt to collect on the full amount — they forgive it.

And because of the way the debt is bundled, “Every $100 you donate relieves $10,000 in Medical Debt.”

So. We’re gonna raise $10,000 and cancel about $1,000,000 in medical debt.

The fundraiser begins in November and will culminate in a Play and a Party on December 12th which will feature live music, an art auction, and Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY FRANK WINTERS) with a party and general merriment to follow.

(and while this one does not have muppets, or bill murray,
it DOES have good vibes strong opinions about capitalism.)
