Many of us are fortunate enough to start our lives in loving family that provides us with everything we need to grow and thrive. However, this was not the case for Freddie Figgers, a 32-year-old man whose life has been anything but ordinary. He was abandoned as a baby on the streets by his birth mother, who did not want him. He often reflects on the fact that his mother discarded him like common garbage and that he was not meant to be in this world.
Thankfully, Nathan and Betty Figgers, who longed for a son, took a chance on Freddie and adopted him, giving him a second chance he so desperately needed. He has never met his biological parents nor shown any interest in doing so. In a post on his website, he expresses his gratitude for the Figgers, who welcomed him into their home and changed his life forever.
As Freddie grew older, he discovered his talent for understanding the physics of electrical gadgets. At the tender age of ten, he began disassembling and reassembling a 1989 computer that his father had given him. By the time he was 12, he had already secured his first job as a computer technician. After just three years, he started developing a cloud database in his backyard, paving the way for him to become his own boss at a young age.
Freddie Figgers’ life journey exemplifies resilience and determination when faced with challenges. Despite being abandoned by his biological mother, he was fortunate to be taken in by loving adoptive parents who encouraged and supported his pursuits. With his exceptional talent for comprehending electrical gadgets and his unwavering determination to achieve success, Freddie has accomplished a great deal at a young age, and his future seems promising.
During his adulthood, Freddie Figgers created Figgers Communications, a telecommunications company, which he started independently without having a college degree. At present, Figgers serves as the founder and CEO of Figgers Wireless, a black-owned telecommunications firm worth over $62.3 million dollars, which some may not be familiar with, as noted in one of his YouTube video captions.
Moreover, Figgers is not only an entrepreneur, but he also has a creative side. When he was young, he began inventing gadgets to assist his adoptive father, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. By implanting a two-way communication gadget and GPS tracker in his father’s shoes, Figgers was able to locate and communicate with him at any time.
Currently, Figgers is focusing his efforts on creating products that are diabetes-related. In August, he stated on Facebook that diabetes is a major public health concern that is approaching pandemic proportions globally. Diabetes is becoming more widespread at an alarming rate. In the United States, one out of every twelve people is affected by diabetes, and type 2 diabetes has also become a frequent juvenile condition.
Freddie Figgers has observed that major diabetic medical supply companies have generated billions of dollars by taking advantage of customers with extremely high prices. While these firms could have sold their technology to any medical supply business, doing so would have only aggravated the situation. As an alternative, Figgers and his team have developed an all-in-one system that remotely monitors diabetes around the clock, 24 hours a day and seven days a week, and is financially feasible for all patients. Their focus on prioritizing people over profits is praiseworthy.
Undoubtedly, Figgers has had an extraordinary life, and we can expect to hear more about him in the future. Congratulations to Freddie, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Let’s share this article to honor and acknowledge Freddie Figgers.
