Todd served in the U.S. Army National Guard right after graduating high school. Growing up in a single parent household, he searched for a living that could provide for him and his mother. Joining the Army National Guard allowed him to gain independence and help his mother be financially stable as well. In 1987, Todd was honorably discharged due to a reduction in authorized strength.
Todd and Wanda care for their 24-year-old son. He was born with cerebral palsy – a group of disorders that affects a person’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture. In addition to being wheelchair bound, he also endures seizures, intellectual disabilities, and mental health conditions.
Wanda has been working as Personal Care Assistant while Todd has been employed for a security company. They are happy to have a place to call home after years of renting. Their single-story Habitat home has provided them with an accessible shower, ease of mobility from room to room, and a safe place to call their own.
