In March 2019，when Sara Cook first got a letter in the mail telling her that someone had paid off a large amount of her medical debt，she simply couldn't believe it.Cautiously，she called the number listed on the letter.What she learned was that this was not a scam.It was 100 percent real.
A remarkable nonprofit called RIP Medical Debt had indeed paid ﹩5，000 toward her bills.The organization didn't take care of all the debt she'd accumulated from several back surgeries，but the former nurse was still moved by the gesture. "I felt really loved and blessed，" she says，"knowing that complete strangers just did that out of the goodness of their hearts."
Craig Antico and Jerry Ashton do have good hearts.They're also former collection agents who have seen how heavy health-related dent has destroyed lives. "I never thought about all the hardship of the people who couldn't pay.Now I'm trying to find the people who need help." said Antico.They got their money from individuals and charities that support RIP's mission.
RIP researches potential receivers based on three criteria.First，they look for people who make no more than two and a half times the amount established as the federal poverty level.The they screen for those whose debt is equal to 5 percent or more of the gross income（总收入）.Third，they look to see whether a person can pay off debts.
For the people who do qualify，RIP's help is life-changing. "After their letter，I realized that my life really wasn't so hard，" says Cook，"I may never be able to work as a nurse again but I can sit at the school library and help kids read or serve up food in the soup kitchen.When people do something out of the kindness of their hearts，sometimes they may wonder：Does it rally make a difference？I want people to know that this has a positive impact."

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
