In a touching goodbye message, Casey conveyed her desire to utilize the money she had set aside for her medical needs to acquire and eliminate the medical debt of others.
"To honor my life, I've organized to buy and eradicate the medical debt of others," she shared in a tweet. "I feel fortunate to have received top-notch medical care at [Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center], and I'm acutely aware that many in our country lack access to quality care."
As of today, the fund has raised an impressive $136,000 of her $150,000 goal.
Casey partnered with RIP Medical Debt — a New York-based non-profit organization that buys medical debt at a fraction of the cost. Every $100 donated relieves $10,000 in medical debt.
To date, RIP Medical Debt has relieved a total of $10 billion of medical debt for over 7 million families.
A memorial service for Casey is set for Dec. 2, where mourners "will celebrate her life by anonymously purchasing medical debt and then anonymously forgiving it."
