The nationwide movement to give health care workers a safe place to stay is also helping San Diegans on the front lines fighting the coronavirus.
RVS 4 MDS matches recreational vehicle owners with medical workers in hopes of minimizing exposure and the chances of bringing the virus into their home.
“I don't even have the words for all the family and friends that have reached out to see how they can help us, go grocery shopping for us. Now we have this extra shelter in place to try and minimize and mitigate the exposure to our loved ones,” said Dr. Connie Miller.
RVS 4 MDS started in Texas and spread across the country with more than 24,000 members. It allows recreational vehicle owners to loan their trailer for free to front-line workers fighting the coronavirus.
“It's not just for medical doctors. It's for nurses. It's for people on the front lines,” said Holly Haggard, RVS 4 MDS co-founder.
There have been at least 345 matches and hundreds still pending. Renfro said if she could, she would help all health care workers with a safe place to shelter.
