Helping Heroes With RVs for MDs
Here is another great way to allow first responders and medical professionals to isolate close to work, loan out your camper or RV.
According to WOOD, two women from Texas came up with the idea of getting people to load their camper or RV by creating a Facebook page by the name of RV's 4 MD's
The two women's goal is to get this idea to catch on across the country. Let's face it, no one is going camping right now and this is a great way to help others on the front lines.
RVs 4 MDs Admin Emily Phillips said, "I've never seen anything like this before. Giving a two or three hundred-thousand-dollar home on wheels to a complete stranger for a while. No questions asked. It is bringing humanity back together in some way."
The idea of RV's 4 MD's was sparked by Phillips, whose husband is an emergency room physician in Texas, she knew how close he was coming in contact with COVID-19 patients at work.
Phillips mom actually came up with the idea of borrowing an RV on Facebook. That is when she made a new friend by the name of Holly Haggard.
Phillips and Haggard knew this was a great idea and people all across the country could do this, they decided to create the group and it is growing fast.
This idea has grown so fast it has already made it's way to Rockford Michigan. Kim Mills heard about this idea and immediately thought this could work for his daughter and son-in-law.
Mills' son-in-law works at Metro Detroit Hospital and is working with COVID-19 patients daily. He believes it is only a matter of time before he will test positive himself at some point.
Ok Michiganders, I know there are a lot of campers and RV's in this state, and if you have one, you can help someone out whose is on the front line right now. Go to this Facebook page and sign up and also share this to others.
