I'll have a facebook group is connecting frontline healthcare workers with rv and camper owners across the nation.

It's called rvs 4 mds.

We told you first at five about the group.

Rv owners are loaning their mobile homes to healthcare workers for free.

This provides healthcare professionals with a safe space to isolate during the covid-19 pandemic.

A nurse right here in the wabash valley is benefiting from this.

News 10's tilly marlatt brings us more.

Pk} kim moody is a nurse at union's convenient care clinic in terre haute.

She works daily with patients who are suspected of having covid-19.

Moody lives with her mother and two young children.

All three have health conditions that place them at-risk.

"my big worry cause i am an essential worker and i am in the thick of it and bringing it home to them was my biggest worry."

(kim moody, rn, union convenient care clinic) moody discovered the facebook group rvs 4 mds and signed up.

Rv owners lend their mobile homes to frontline healthcare workers.

This allows workers to safely isolate away from their families.

Within a few days of signing up, moody got matched with david and casey trogden of indianapolis.

"why not let it sit at a house or a location where it can be put to use by those people, again, who are literally risking their lives on a daily basis.

I think this is the easiest decision that an rv owner should have."

(david and casey trogden, indianapolis) (16 seconds) now, the trogden's rv is parked in kim's front yard.

"the world could use more kim's right now.

As she's putting every ounce of energy and every hour in the day to helping others.

We need that."

It's an effort that kim won't soon forget.

"i mean it's an amazing thing that someone just did such a random act of kindness that they would be willing to loan a complete stranger in essence a place where they can go and keep their family safe.

To me, it was a really touching thing."
