KOKOMO, Ind. – Of all types of debt, medical debt can be the most crippling to household finances. In fact, medical debt far outpaces all other types of consumer debt, making up more than 50 percent of collections on credit reports. The financial and emotional pressures of medical debt often impact the most vulnerable, the elderly and the poor.
For those reasons, one local church is partnering with a national charity to eliminate medical debt for thousands of Hoosiers living in Howard and Miami counties.
Fuel Church of Kokomo and Westfield (campus coming early 2020) and RIP Medical Debt have partnered to eliminate more than $5.2 million in medical debt for more than 3,400 people.

Considerate Travel
My husband and I just got back from Texas. We were in the Dallas area to attend our son’s wedding. It was beautiful, and I’ll probably write about the wedding soon. Today I want to talk a bit about traveling.
We left late on a Friday night. We drove about three hours and slept for a few hours at a rest stop. Many other travelers were doing the same. About 4:30 in the morning a family pulled in. The kids were a little noisy, but that’s not unusual. Children rarely think about the effect their actions have on others. However, the parents violated the first rule of travel—be considerate of others. They both yelled loudly, more than once, for their children to “Load ‘em up!” I will assume it never occurred to them that the cars around them held people attempting to sleep. Still, yelling at 4:30 in the morning is not a considerate thing to do, no matter where you are. Frankly, yelling loudly in public is never a considerate thing to do.
We stayed in comfortable hotels the rest of the trip. Hotels hold their own set of courtesies. If there is someone else already at the desk registering, be sure to stay back until you’re asked to approach the desk. You and I know you’re not trying to listen in for others’ personal data, but they don’t know that.
