Almost $2 million in medical debt has been paid for nearly 700 residents in Fort Bend County, all thanks to a generous donation from Crossbridge Church in Sugar Land.
The 700 residents received a letter from the church, saying that their medical debt was completely paid in full, no strings attached.
Crossbridge Lead Pastor Chuck Land told WFAA, "People facing medical hardship, especially during this COVID season, have had to choose between putting food on the table, rent, or paying a medical bill. This was a tangible way for us to demonstrate the Gospel and point people to the hope they have in Jesus."
Crossbridge Church partnered with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt to help pay the medical debt for the residents.
