A New York City woman's dying wish is about to come true.
Casey McIntyre, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2019, lost her life on Nov. 12 at just 38 years old. In the days leading up to her death, she urged friends to donate to a campaign that would cancel the medical debt of strangers.
By the time of her death, that campaign raised enough to pay off nearly $19 million in debt and has since nearly tripled its impact.
