For more than a month, Mike Todd has been in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with COVID-19 pneumonia and other related complications. The last time his wife, LeAnn, and their three sons, Aidan, Riley, and Keegan, saw Mike was the day he was admitted to the hospital.
The Todd family moved from Manheim to New Providence in 2015. The family is active in various groups in southern Lancaster County, such as Solid Rock Youth Ministries and Encounter Church. Mike works for Yaeger Supply Inc., and LeAnn spends time cooking or baking for families in need. LeAnn lives by the motto "See a need, fill a need."
"Mike would lend the shirt off his back to help others," stated Toni Drumm, a friend of the Todd family, "and LeAnn is very much an 'I can do this' person, but we wanted to help and support her."
Drumm and LeAnn are part of a group called the "soccer village." The group consists of about six parents whose sons play soccer together. "We carpool and support each other," explained Drumm. "We're a tight-knit group."
Recently, a group of boys on the Solanco soccer team went to the Todd house and worked on the yard for a few hours. Dolce Vita Pizzeria and Grill donated pizzas to feed the boys and the Todd family. "Dolce Vita is super supportive of the community," said Drumm.
The soccer village also decided to start a GoFundMe page to financially support the Todd family. "As a community, we 'saw a need' and now we must 'fill the need.' People should donate because it goes back to seeing a need and filling a need, and that's what community is all about," stated Drumm. "The Todd family supports so many people with no questions asked, and I feel like it's our turn to help them in any way we can."
