When my youngest daughter, Luna, was 6 years old, she jumped at the idea of driving an RV from Colorado to California to shelter a family who lost their home in the 2018 Camp Fire. In a lot of ways, I was just tagging along.
Seven years later — and after sheltering more than 300 families across the United States — here we are. She’s grown up doing this good work… and along the way, I guess I grew up a lot too.
See the latest chapter in our journey in the documentary film Humble River… it’s not over, premiering Oct. 15 in Denver.

After everything #HurricaneIsaias put folks through, getting to help these families reunite on Veterans Day just hit different. Huge thanks to @FLSERT for being right there with us.
#VeteransDay
This Veterans Day, we honor those who have served our nation by standing with them when they need it most. 🇺🇸
@FLSERT is proud to work alongside partners like @EmergencyRV, who delivered two temporary trailers to veteran families impacted by Hurricane #Isaias, helping provide shelter as they recover & rebuild.
Florida remains committed to supporting our veterans & their families throughout the recovery process.
Find recovery resources at FloridaDisaster.org/Updates.
This is one of the ways we choose to celebrate Veterans Day: showing up and delivering safe shelter to two veteran families in Florida. It means a lot to our team to be able to give back to those who have given so much.
Thank you to @FLSERT for being out there with us and helping make more of these deliveries possible.
To our #Veterans , thank you for your service. We're proud to stand behind you, today and every day.
This is what #HurricaneIsaias left behind for the Burgess family in Florida. While Isaias made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane, the damage to their home was devastating. The trailer they called home was crushed and left unlivable, showing just how much damage a storm can cause regardless of its category. Ms. Burgess' sister has stage 4 cancer and her remaining days will now be spent together living in their very own EmergencyRV.
EmergencyRV is working to get RVs to these families whose homes have been damaged or destroyed, giving them a safe place to stay while they figure out what comes next. When a natural disaster takes away your home, we're here to help provide somewhere safe to land.

After flooding devastated his hometown of #pagosasprings, Elijah, the founder of Penguin Pups stepped up with a goal: help local families find safe shelter while they recover.
EmergencyRV is proud to work with Elijah on this effort. Every donation made through his fundraiser goes toward EmergencyRV’s Pagosa Springs Flood Recovery campaign, helping us prepare, transport, and place RVs with families who need a safe place to stay.
Let’s help Elijah crush his goal! 🙌

After the storm passes, our work begins. #hurricaneisaias brought 105 mph winds through the Florida Panhandle, and a falling tree left Steven and Melissa Walter’s home damaged and unsafe.
Melissa is a nurse and Steven is a teacher. They spend their days caring for and educating others so now, it’s our turn to take care of them. We brought the Walters an #emergencyrv so they didn’t have to spend more time in a hotel or living in unsafe conditions.
Families across the country are facing similar challenges after disaster. Help us be there for the next family.
Text EMERGENCYRV to 53-555 to help provide safe, temporary shelter to families in need.
The EmergencyRV team is on the ground and helping families impacted by #hurricaneisaias , and we’re here for the long haul.
When #isaias made landfall on October 9 as a Category 2 hurricane, it left many families across the Panhandle without a safe place to live. We’ve been building our base here in Milton, and our whole hearts are in this work. With help from our partners at @FLSERT , we’re delivering RVs directly to families’ properties so they can stay close to home, work, and school while they recover.

When Hurricane #Isaias left Bryan’s home in Milton, Florida, unlivable, he faced an impossible choice: find a way to keep his family of six on their property, or leave home and relocate.
As a veteran, Bryan has spent his life serving others. When this disaster left his own family in need, we wanted to make sure he didn’t have to face that choice alone so we brought an #emergencyRV directly to his property, giving Bryan and his family the stability to stay together while they work toward rebuilding.
EmergencyRV always takes care of our #veterans.
Thank you to @FLSERT for backing our work in every part of the recovery for #isaias survivors, and helping us get RVs where they’re needed faster.

🤝 The Incident Management Team (IMT) provides direct support to @FLSERT, coordinating operations on the ground & connecting with community partners to meet the needs of disaster survivors.
Following Hurricane #Isaias, the team is helping facilitate Florida’s partnership with @EmergencyRV to provide sheltering assistance to impacted residents.
Through these efforts, the IMT helps turn recovery needs into action until the mission is complete.
We see firsthand how much the first response matters. First responders are there in the middle of the chaos, helping people get to safety and staying long after the initial emergency to help their communities through what comes next. Today, on National First Responders Day, we’re thinking about the men and women who put others first, including the #firstresponders who have lost their own homes while protecting the people around them.
Since 2018, first responders have been a priority for @EmergencyRV. We’ve helped families from Berry Creek’s Station 61 firefighters to a Forest Service officer who evacuated his neighbors while his own home was burning. These are people who ran toward danger to help others, and then found themselves needing help, too.
That’s why first responders, along with #veterans, #seniors, and vulnerable families, have been part of who we look out for from the very beginning. We’re grateful for every first responder who shows up for us when we need them most.
A disaster can change a family’s life in a matter of minutes. Finding a safe place to stay shouldn’t become another crisis. EmergencyRV exists to help provide a safe, temporary place to stay while families navigate everything that comes after a disaster.
Our partnerships with the @FLSERT and the Florida State Emergency Response Teams have been an important part of making that possible during our response to Hurricane #Isaias in Florida.
The names, places and disasters may change. The mission doesn’t: when families need a safe place to stay, we show up.
Thanks Chris!!
We are BACK! On our way to the Panhandle of Florida tonight to send these units out to a family that needs it.
@EmergencyRv
The #FloridaStateGuard is helping us get EmergencyRVs where they need to go — to Florida families impacted by #HurricaneIsaias who are waiting for a safe place to stay.
Five RVs are being delivered to families today.
We’re grateful to the Florida State Guard for stepping up with the extra hands and wheels to help make it happen! 🇺🇸
After a massive oak tree crashed through Brittany’s home during Hurricane #Isaias, her family has been moving between hotels and Airbnbs, never quite knowing what the next stop would be.
On Monday, that changed by delivering an EmergencyRV, giving Brittany and her family a place to settle in together while they figure out what comes next.
We’re proud to do this work alongside @FLSERT , and we're also grateful to @chefjoseandres and @LTFund for their continued support.
Give at emergencyrv.org to support our work sheltering families and children impacted by natural disasters.
Mary and her veteran husband were trying to figure out what comes next after a massive tree came down on their home during Hurricane #Isaias. Her 21-year-old daughter was standing in the kitchen when the tree landed just above her. She was lucky to walk away unharmed, but their home wasn’t so lucky.
Yesterday, we delivered them an EmergencyRV through our partnership with @FLSERT — giving their family a safe place to stay while they focus on getting their home back.
They have a long road ahead, but they don’t have to figure out where they’re going to sleep tonight and that’s a good place to start.
Give at emergencyrv.org to support our work sheltering families.
Thank you, @GovRonDeSantis . We’re honored you called on us to support your mission to shelter Florida’s Hurricane #Isaias survivors. This is what we do best at @EmergencyRv .
Let’s do this!
Since Hurricane Isaias made landfall, we have been working to ensure that those affected by this storm have the assistance they need to get back on their feet. We are operating seven Multi-Agency Resource Centers where Floridians can learn about available assistance and get connected with recovery resources.
Thanks to our partnership with Emergency RV, we have started providing travel trailers to Floridians displaced by significant hurricane damage, so they have a safe place to live while they rebuild. We’re also committed to helping the first responders whose homes were impacted by the storm and still showed up to serve their communities. With funding from the Florida Sheriffs Association, we are providing these first responders with $5,000 each to show our gratitude.
Schools in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties have reopened and resumed normal operations. We’re grateful for the hard work of school teams, transportation crews, and all our partners who helped make them safe for students and staff.

Three EmergencyRVs were delivered in Florida yesterday.
We met with the families receiving them, and there were some really emotional moments—tears, hugs, and a lot of gratitude.
We’re so thankful to @FLSERT for helping make these deliveries possible and for giving us the opportunity to be there with these families.
🏠 Today, @GovRonDeSantis announced that the first travel trailers were awarded to Floridians displaced by Hurricane #Isaias, marking another step toward recovery for impacted families.
Through @FLSERT’s partnership with @EmergencyRV, eligible residents whose homes sustained significant storm damage can access temporary sheltering while they recover. 🤝
