EmergencyRV is a charitable organization initially established in response to the massive and deadly November 2018 Campfire, which decimated the entire town of Paradise, California and left more than 50,000 residents traumatized and displaced.
For founder Woody Faircloth and his then six-year-old daughter Luna, watching events unfold on television from Denver was not enough. Determined to help, the father and daughter set out to raise funds to purchase an RV and deliver it by Thanksgiving to a family in need.
Word of their kind act spread quickly and within days, press requests, RV donations, offers of legal services, and funds poured in. Before the Faircloth’s knew it, they were delivering another RV and then another. Since then, EmergencyRV has helped hundreds of victims and expanded its mission to help many more victims of wildfire and other natural disasters.

Wildfire/Natural Disaster Survivors in Need of Housing
If you lost your home due to a recent wildfire/natural disaster and are in need of emergency/transitional housing please complete the “Survivor intake“ form by clicking the link below. One of our volunteers will contact you if an RV is available in your area.
Please continue to pursue all relief options available to you as completing this form is not a guarantee that we will be able to deliver an RV to you. Please submit only one application per household.
RV Donors
Do you have an RV that is in good working order that you would like to donate to provide shelter for a disaster survivor in need?
Please complete the RV intake form below and we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss next steps.
The IRS requires that RVs with a value over $5k require a formal appraisal and we can help arrange for a formal appraisal if needed.
Please consult with your personal tax professional for tax advice related to your donation.
Thank you for considering this life changing act of kindness.
