Valterra Products, LLC is pleased to announce they are supporting RVs 4 MDs. RVs 4 MDs started a Facebook group in March that connects RV owners willing to donate their mobile accommodations to front line medical/healthcare worker and first responders, who need of a safe place to quarantine in order to protect their own families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, Emily Phillips, wife of ER Physician Dr. Jason Phillips, took to Facebook to ask friends and family for any connections to a temporary housing solution for her husband. A friend of Emily’s saw her post, quickly connected her with another friend Holly Haggard, and the rest is history. By 5pm that same day, Emily and Jason had picked up an RV from the Haggards and began a new way of temporary living. Then the official Facebook group was created. Its popularity quickly spread, so Emily and Holly recruited friends and other volunteers to join their mission, delegate duties, and bring more volunteers on board. People from all over the country began to comment, share, and step up to help. Attorneys, consultants, stay-at-home parents, technology specialists, insurance agents, realtors, healthcare workers, CEO’s, teachers, and construction workers alike – all working tirelessly together for the same cause. “People are coming out of the woodwork, that once felt powerless – and now they have purpose”, said Founder, Emily Phillips. One person’s cry for help, a kind and giving heart, and a network of people who care – has quickly caused the spread of RVs 4 MDs throughout the U.S. almost as fast as the Coronavirus itself. RVs 4 MDs has gone viral – growing to currently over 31,000 members and steadily rising. They are now matching donors and recipients in all states, Canada, Australia, and Dubai.
Upon learning of the amazing work that this group is doing, Valterra Products, LLC wanted to help. Since RVs themselves have special product needs, Valterra is providing MDs that have been matched with RVs a free kit containing RV toilet paper, disposable dump gloves and tank treatments. This group shows the amazing community spirit and heart that is a big part of the RV community.
