The families whose debt has been erased don't know yet. “When that mail comes to their homes – can you imagine? I wish we could see all of their faces. I would literally go with Rabbi Hart to 2,000 homes just to see their faces,” Pastor Harris said.

Harris, who leads Bright Star Church in Bronzeville and St. James Church in Pullman, said that Rabbi Hart, of Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue, came to him with the idea. Together, they raised a little more than $10,000.

They gave that money to RIP Medical Debt, which is a group that buys medical debt for pennies on the dollar. The money paid off almost $2 million in bills.

At 86, Ruth Whitfield was the oldest of the 10 people killed. Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton is expected to deliver her eulogy at a service attended by Vice President Kamala Harris. Whitfield was inside the Tops Friendly Market after visiting her husband of 68 years in a nursing home when an 18-year-old gunman opened fire May 14. He is charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail. Did she go to the funerals of any Waukesha victims? No? Hmmmmm Don’t expect her to do the same for Uvalde. A little to close to visiting the border for her liking.
