They left him like he was nothing—just a few days old, abandoned and crying inside a dumpster.
But fate had a different plan for Freddie Figgers.
A passerby heard the cries and called the authorities. Police rushed the baby to the hospital.
Just 13 days later, Nathan and Betty Figgers, a humble couple from Quincy, Florida, saw the story on the news.
They already had a daughter, but when they saw that tiny boy… they knew they had to do something.
They brought him home.

His childhood wasn’t easy.Kids bullied him, calling him “trash baby.” The words cut deep.
Years later, he sought out his biological mother—only to learn she was battling serious addiction.
He never saw her again.
“The people who raised me are my real parents. They gave me love… and a new life.”
When Freddie was 9, his dad bought him a broken $25 Macintosh computer. Freddie took it apart, fixed it using pieces from a radio—and it worked.
That’s when his love for technology was born.
By 13, he was repairing computers for the local government.
At 15, he launched Figgers Computers.
He built his first systems in his parents’ living room.
He invented medical devices so doctors could remotely monitor patients.
At 19, he sold one invention for $2.2 million.
He even designed GPS shoes to help track his father, who had Alzheimer’s.
By 25, Freddie held five patents and had developed over 80 software programs.
But he never forgot where he came from.
Today, he runs a foundation that provides scholarships, emergency aid, and food for the homeless.
“I started it with my own money. You can be successful and lose your soul—I don’t want that.
I want to make a difference. What you give always comes back.
And there’s no greater reward than knowing you’re doing good.”
From being thrown away… to building a legacy with purpose.
Freddie Figgers’ story proves: Where you start doesn’t define how far you can go.
