North Carolina church relieves all of county's qualifying medical debt

Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Trinity Moravian Church raised enough money to relieve all of the qualifying medical debt in Forsyth County, the Winston-Salem Journal reported Oct. 2. 

The church collected $5,275 in less than six weeks, according to the report. RIP Medical Debt was able to purchase $1.65 million worth of debt from those funds, which will relieve the debts of 1,356 people in Forsyth and Davidson counties. 

The church is planning to continue the project, possibly partnering with churches in Davidson counties before moving on to assist other area counties, according to the report.
