They are fielding requests from people who lost homes in the storms that hit the Gulf Coast as well as the Iowa derecho. They are also working to find RVs for firefighters in Oregon.? You¡¯ve just got to love this man and his daughter ¡ they are doing so much to help so many ¡
Faircloth describes his nonprofit as a win-win for the people donating RVs and those receiving them.
¡°People have RVs that may be used once or twice a year, or maybe they don¡¯t use them anymore at all. When they donate them to us, we can immediately deploy them to people that need them most. ¡ It¡¯s super powerful and just an amazing gift from the donors.¡±
Now, the main ¡®good people¡¯ here are obviously Woody Faircloth and his daughter Luna, but I think the firefighters who are risking life and limb to battle these horrendous fires round the clock every year, and the selfless first responders who are working tirelessly to save lives, and those who donate to the cause deserve a shout out as well.
Thank you, firefighters, doctors, nurses, and every other person who is taking risks to help the rest of us.? There are no words adequate to express our gratitude for all that you do without expectation of receiving anything in return.? Our hearts go out to you, and you have reminded us that there are people ¡ lots of people ¡ in this world who care.
