The New York City book publisher arranged to use money raised in her memory to buy up the medical debt of others – and then pay it off, according to a website which assisted her philanthropic effort and as of Friday had collected nearly all of her six-figure goal.
“A note to my friends: If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” read a recent post on McIntyre’s account at X – the social media platform formerly known as Twitter – which partly served to detail her campaign. “I’m so sorry. It’s horseshit and we both know it. The cause was stage four ovarian cancer.”
After describing how much she, her family and her friends loved each other, McIntyre’s account linked to her campaign at RIP Medical Debt’s website. Her accompanying farewell message added: “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debt and then destroy the debt. I am so lucky to have had access to the best medical care at [the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York] and am keenly aware that so many in our country don’t have access to good care.”
I can’t super tell if you are trying to fact check, debunk or simply trying to give more info about the topic, so forgive if this sounds curt. But I can assure that this is the situation and she spoke to lawyers trying to get it discharged. I’m not about to ask her for more details because obviously this is an emotional subject, but what I’ve already posted is my understanding of the events and timeline. Idk what else to say.
Neither, just passing on my experience. I didn’t have any lawyers involved and it was pretty much telling them to fuck off and not paying the bills that came in his name.
