Please Donate: Help Cremation Cost of Don Freitas

Donation protected
Please help my family by donating. We need to raise $1500 to help with cremation cost and travel expenses from Montana to Washington and back for my Brother Don Freitas...If you have never lost a child you could never possibly imagine the pain my parents are going through losing my brother and their first born. Anyone can try to imagine that pain but would never truly know it unless they have been there. Watching my parents who have been the most wonderful parents anyone can have go through this is killing me...I am trying to stay strong and do everything to make this happen and make it just a little bit easier on them and my brother Jeff and his family. Please donate even $5 or $10 if possible...it all helps...and if not please pray for my family and share this post. Thank you all so much that have been there for us through kind words, prayers, sharing and donations. Those types of kindness are what makes me love humans and still have faith in people today in this world that can often be so ugly...God Bless You All.. My Brother Don was a good person who didn't make the right decisions all the time and losing his son Cody on September 22, 2015 just days after Cody turned 22 took its toll on Don...he lost a baby girl, Britney, just after birth...The heartache ate him up and he is finally at peace. Any of you who knew him and hung out with him know how much fun and how silly my brother was. If he had it, no matter what it was, and you needed it...it was yours...he had a kind heart and got hurt easily...he was in the Marine Corps and lost his best friend that was something thay scarred him for life...Donny was a Bullrider, Bareback rider, He could calf rope and team rope and ride a horse like many could not. He was a painter and could paint cars with such perfection and it always had to be his top quality work or he would start over. He won best paint job on a car in a paint contest in Tacoma Washington. Donny did precise work in anything he did. Whether it was painting a home, drywalling, framing, wood working, etc his craftsmanship was so beautiful. I never knew what losing a sibling could be like this...the pain and gut wrenching knot in side over the fact my Brother will never be coming home again. Sheriff Shawn Lesnik, here in Roundup, MT...If you read this I hope you realize my brother came here looking for some healing and some type of peace. If you had really known him and talked with him and given him a chance you would have understood a lot of things. Donny respected you and hated that you and your deputies treated him the way you all did. Did he hang out with the right people? Probably not... most of the time anyway...but Donny wasn't one to turn anyone away. If they called him at 3am needing a ride he went no matter what the weather was or how lil gas he had...To him being alone was Hell...he took comfort in broken people...the misfits...the ones that seemed like lost causes...he wanted to help them all and get them to believe in themselves and never stop dreaming and never give up or quit. Deputy Jared Johnson and Garrett Sanford were a disgrace to your Department. I start to cry and want to scream when I think of the way they treated him...myself...and some others...while those they should have been concentrating on were never put through their rotten unprofessionalism and illegal ways...Donny was a dreamer and a free spirit. My family can find some peace in knowing he passed peacefully in his sleep...he was 57. Please help my parents lay him to rest and bring Don's ashes home. Any amount helps...Thank you and much love to all of you.
