Doctors caring for patients at hospitals across the U.S. have taken up temporary residence in donated recreational vehicles, parked outside their homes, to keep them near to their families yet isolated
Dr. Nick Astras, an emergency room doctor who works at Long Island Community Hospital in New York, is now living in an RV just outside his suburban home of Brookhaven, Long Island, where his children can see their father from their window.
After registering, Kalpana Astras said she was notified within days that the Facebook group had located a vehicle the family could use for free.

“Within five minutes, a friend of mine called and said, ‘My friend, Holly Haggard, wants to give you her RV.’ And I just couldn’t believe it. I was flabbergasted that somebody would give me their home.”
