People are lending RVs to nurses and doctors needing to isolate from their families, and you can too. RVs for MDs! Giving our healthcare workers somewhere safe to stay while they care for coronavirus patients.


One woman in Phoenix, with the help of a national Facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvs4mds  is doing her part to help where she can.

That is where the Facebook group “RVs for MDs” comes in. The page is a place where people who own RVs or campers can be matched with a medical professional who needs one.

According to the article, Kelli Lofoco posted their story on the site and were matched with Shannon Armstrong, of Peoria, who gladly delivered her RV to the Lofocos so Bennet Lofoco could quarantine while still being near his family.

“This started back in late March by a woman in Texas who got a request from a friend to see if she could loan out her RV to a doctor who was concerned about exposing his family,” said Melissa Leymon, a volunteer for RVs 4 MDs. “He’s an ER doctor, he was spending his days treating patients and he was really fearful for exposing his wife and his young child.”

Since late March, Leymon says the Facebook group has reached all 50 states and has grown to almost 30,000 members.

If I had an RV, I'd do it. But I don't. I can only spread the good word
