Michael Freedy, 39, leaves behind his fiancé and five children.


Freedy only learned he had COVID because the family forgot their sunscreen at the beach. By then it was too late. Not just severe sunburn but an advanced infection. A couple of weeks later he was dead and his five children no longer had a father.


...................“He is only 39. Our babies now don't have a dad. You can't say I am young and it won't affect me because it will,” DuPreez said.

Freedy was not vaccinated for COVID-19............................

Babies, Kids & Family
Hi, my name is Jessica. For those of you who don’t know me, Mike is my fiancé. We’ve been together for over 7 years now. I came into our relationship with 3 kids and we have since had 2 more, bringing it up to FIVE amazing babies. Our life works. We have a true partnership, in everything we do. From making decisions to paying bills, from parenting to cleaning. We’ve always done it together, and equally.

We went to San Diego July 12 & 13. It was to get the kids out of the heat advisory warning that Vegas had, but also because we actually had two days off in a row together. We went to the beach

and to Belmont Park and let the kids ride the rides.




But everyone wound up getting sunburned. Mike got it the worst. He skin turned so red it was almost purple, and he got small water blisters all over.


We went to the zoo


the next day and came home.


Unvaccinated and unmasked ….

Now, if you’ve read all of that, bless you. I hate to ask people for help. Mike is really the same way, even though he would gladly give someone his last dollar if they asked. But, we live paycheck to paycheck most months. We have decent paying jobs. We just have high rent ($1800) and two car payments ($850) . We have 5 kids, 4 or which start school again in a couple weeks. We have all of the normal bills, but with him in the hospital and not getting paid, I’m afraid for our family. I can’t afford everything on my own. I have enough in savings to get through this month and pay August’s rent, but after that, I’m not sure how I’m going to make my money stretch enough to cover everything.

I know that everyone is struggling and everyone has bills, and this past year has hurt a lot of people. But, if there is anything you can do for us, it would be literally life saving.

Even sharing this and keeping Mike in your thoughts and prayers and giving us all of the healing vibes is so appreciated.

i just need to have him home with us. He is my person, my heart and soul, he is the rock of our family.

Thank you, and bless you for all that you do! Hug your loved ones. Because it turned so fast. And I would give practically anything to hear Mike say my name and hug me and be able to tell him I love him more than ever.

I just wanted to reach out and thank all of you who have helped us. All who have reached out with a friendly word. I was at the hospital visiting Mike and telling him all about our kids day and how everyone was pulling for him. His numbers crashed and they were not able to bring them back up.
The love of my life, my rock, my everything. The father to my babies, is no longer with us. I don’t know what to do.

antivaxxers and/or covidiots?

Because you have to be tragically ignorant and illogical to occupy that position in a genuine good-faith manner.

The part about having two babies without bothering to get married makes me know he and his fiance are idiots.

Not getting vaccinated only confirms it.
