Father-Daughter Team Provides RVs To People Who Lost Homes In California Wildfires
Woody Faircloth and his 9-year-old daughter Luna are getting used to life on the road. For the last three years, they've been taking special trips from Colorado to deliver RVs to families who've lost homes in California's wildfires.
It's a mission they began after watching news of the deadly 2018 Camp Fire.
"I turned to Luna, who was 6 at the time — she had no front teeth — and I said, 'Luna,' you know, 'why don't we get an RV and we'll drive it to California and give it to a family so they'll have a place to call home for Thanksgiving?'" Faircloth told "CBS Mornings" contributor Jamie Wax.
"I said, 'Dad, God and Santa Claus are gonna be very proud of us,'" Luna said.
Faircloth began looking for RV donors and was amazed by how many people wanted to help with unwanted RVs or their time.
"We have volunteers all over the country that have helped us," he said. "We have people right now that are answering emails and processing paperwork for these donations. I mean, it's just raise your hand and say, 'Hey, I'd like to help.'"
Dad and daughter have personally delivered about 20 RVs to folks in need — mostly firefighters, first responders and veterans — and he's helped arrange around 100 donations in all.
