"Every day, I'm thinking about what I owe, how I'm going to get out of this ... especially with the money coming in just not being enough."⁠ ⁠ Then a few months ago — nearly 13 years after her daughter's birth and many anxiety attacks later — Logan received some bright yellow envelopes in the mail. They were from a nonprofit group telling her it had bought and then forgiven all those past medical bills.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio for the story.⁠ ⁠ (Image: @juandiego_reyes • Juan Diego Reyes for KHN and NPR)
