Masks were hard to find in the U.S., but plentiful in Hong Kong, where Todd Rahimi ’90 lives.

Sean Kneafsey ’90 connected with Rahimi and set up a private Facebook group and a GoFundMe page, raising more than $13,000, and on May 6 thousands of masks arrived on Mikuls’ doorstep.

“Health care providers like Ted are at very high risk of contracting this disease,” says Kneafsey. “We want to keep Ted and his colleagues safe so they can continue to serve their community in Omaha.”
