UPDATE: When I released this episode last Sunday, I didn’t realize that Freddy had actually recently lost Isaiah. In all transparency, I was confused and thought Isaiah must have been the son Freddy spoke about on the podcast. I couldn’t wrap my head around the possibility of the truth. It is with great regret that I now realize my mistake, and my heart goes out to Freddy and his family.<\/p>\n

This is a Go Fund Me site set up with this message from Freddy’s brother:<\/p>\n

“I have set up this fund to help out my brother Freddy Negrete as he lays his son and best friend Isaiah Boo Boo Negrete to rest. \u00a0He has not asked for help but no father should ever have to endure what he is doing so alone. In love of his son and in support of my friends I\u2019d love to show him that he has a lot of people behind him.”<\/p>\n
