Who is Mike?
Michael L. Freeland was just 36-years-old when God called him home in November of 2021. The stories of Mike's footprint go well beyond the Jacksonville community. From newspapers to television screens, the mark he left on his hometown has been seen and recognized nationwide. His heart was solid and he loved everyone as if they were family. Mike did not know a single stranger. He worked in various roles throughout the city. His smiling face and giving heart touched so many lives across the community.
Our Goals
The Mike Freeland Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded by Terona Feacher in honor of her son Engineer Michael L. Freeland. Freeland suddenly passed away while saving the life of a woman on the scene of an accident in Jacksonville, Florida on November 11, 2021. Terona gave birth to Michael as a teenager, but persevered and raised him to become a college educated, hard-working man who loved and served his community. The foundation offers scholarships, and support that is essential in assisting teen parents and youth facing challenges who desire to matriculate through firefighter school or other vocational and higher educational programs.
