With the world and internet filled with so much foolishness and negativity it's dope to hear stories of the opposite. NBA/Atlanta Hawks rising star Trae Young recently made headlines for his kind donation of $10,000 which turned into Millions. Sounds crazy right well that 10K ended up helping to wipe out a Million dollars in medical debt for low income ATL residents!
The second year NBA baller partnered up with RIP Medical Debt, a nonprofit organization that works to help minimize medical debt. Young's $10,000 donation was enough to knock down $1,059,186.39 in unpaid medical debt for 570 Atlanta residents, targeting those who are struggling, at least two times below the federal poverty level and/or had debt of 5% or more of their gross annual income.
So salute to Young Ice Trae for helping making a difference in the community that he plays in and now calls home.
