This Week's GoodNews?

Two nonprofits, Mainers for Working Families (MFWF) and Undue Medical Debt, have joined forces to eliminate approximately $1.8 million of medical debt for over 1,500 low-income residents in Maine.

By purchasing these debts at a significant discount—only $12,740—they provided relief for families burdened by medical bills amounting to 5% or more of their annual income or living significantly below the poverty line.

This initiative, part of a growing charity trend, aims to alleviate financial hardship and provide meaningful support to working families.
