\u201cOne of the reasons we wanted to share this directly is because if you happen to receive a letter in the mail letting you know your medical debt has been forgiven, we want you to know it\u2019s real,\u201d Kerr<\/a> said in the clip. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen someone you love is sick, all you want to do is focus on helping them get better. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we wanted to support this effort and help relieve medical debt, so families can focus on caring for their loved ones and really supporting their healing.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo everyone whose debt is being relieved through this effort, we\u2019re sending you and your loved ones so much love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spiegel added: \u201cWe hope this brings a little piece of mind and allows you to focus on what matters the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the caption of the Instagram video, the nonprofit said more than 260,000 people in California are being helped and relieved of their medical debt. <\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the support of @evanspiegel and @mirandakerr, more than $550 million in medical debt has been relieved for over 260,000 Californians,\u201d it read in part. <\/p>\n

The pair were praised for their efforts by fans underneath the video, with one writing: \u201cThis is so amazing, wow \u2013 what an example!\u2764\ufe0f\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gave me a platform to talk about health and wellness, which is so important to me. I actually used the money I\u2019d saved from my modelling career to self-fund the business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really have so much gratitude in my heart for that moment and it\u2019s been such an incredible journey.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr and her billionaire husband Evan Spiegel have helped wipe $US550 million (about $797 million)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-496232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
