Michael Thomas signed a five-year contract extension with the New Orleans Saints last summer, but he’s still working hard to put down roots in the community. Thomas partnered with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt to erase around $2.3 million in medical debt throughout the Greater New Orleans area.
“I’m honored to support my community in this way and make an impact in the city that’s been so welcoming to me from the minute I came here,” Thomas said in a statement. “I hope these families receive a little relief in knowing their medical bills have been taken care of during these very difficult times in our country.
