Michael Thomas Donates $20K to Help Relieve $2M in New Orleans Medical Debt

New Orleans Saints All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas committed $20,000 to RIP Medical Debt, who will translate Thomas' donation into "relieving more than $2 million in outstanding medical debts for people struggling to make payments in the Greater New Orleans Area," Thomas' Athletes First agency announced Monday (h/t NOLA.com's Luke Johnson).

Johnson relayed Thomas' donation will help 1,025 people.

The 27-year-old has also been using his platform for other causes in recent months.

Last month, Thomas partnered with Raising Canes to provide 3,000 meals to Louisiana frontline hospital workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
