The Atlanta Hub is proud to be part of Shred the Debt, a nationwide campaign led by Global Shapers across the United States to eliminate medical debt and advance financial dignity for communities in need.
After raising funds to erase over $2.2 million in medical debt last year through the Sacramento and Chicago hubs, Global Shapers across the United States are now mobilizing further. With support from the Innovation Prize awarded by the Global Shapers Community, Shred the Debt has grown into a nationwide movement to abolish medical debt.
$1 has the power to erase $100 of medical debt.
Medical debt is one of the most common forms of financial hardship in the United States and disproportionately affects low income and marginalized communities.
When medical debt is erased, families regain stability, credit improves, and financial stress decreases. By donating to our participating hub, you are contributing to a unified national effort. When one hub succeeds, we all win.
