\nSadly, 32-year-old Freddie Figgers couldn’t say the same. Nothing about his existence can actually be described as \u2018normal.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Figgers’ birth mother abandoned him on the street when he was a baby because she didn’t want him. He claims, \u2018My mother treated me like regular trash and threw me aside.\u2019<\/p>\n

He said, \u2018I’m not even meant to be here.\u2019<\/p>\n

\nHowever, Nathan and Betty Figgers decided to give Freddie another shot since they wanted a boy. <\/p>\n

As adoptive parents, they welcomed little Freddie into their home and gave him the second opportunity he urgently needed. <\/p>\n

Figgers wrote in an article on his website: \u2018I have never met my biological parents, so it’s great that you can meet individuals like that. I’ve never been interested.\u2019<\/p>\n

As Figgers developed, it became clear that he had a talent for understanding how electronic gadgets worked. <\/p>\n

He had been disassembling and reassembling a 1989 computer that his father had given him when he became 10 years old. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He then got his first job as a computer technician at the age of 12. Three years later, in his own backyard, he began to create a cloud database, thereby becoming his own boss. <\/p>\n

When Figgers reached adulthood, he founded his own telecommunications business, Figgers Communications, despite never having attended college.<\/p>\n

The caption of one of his YouTube videos reads, \u2018He is currently the founder and CEO of Figgers Wireless, <\/p>\n

a black owned telecommunications corporation valued at over $62.3 million dollars, that you may have never heard of.\u2019<\/p>\n

Figgers posted the following on Facebook in August: \u2018Diabetes is a serious public health issue that is rapidly approaching epidemic proportions worldwide.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Diabetes is becoming more commonplace at an alarming rate. Type 2 diabetes has become a widespread condition among children, affecting 1 in 12 persons nationwide. <\/p>\n

Large diabetic medical supply companies have profited in the billions from this terrible disease for far too long by exploiting consumers with exorbitant prices. <\/p>\n

We could have simply marketed our idea to any provider of medical supplies, but that would have only made things worse.<\/p>\n
