the person on the screen was explaining something about how he got through a difficult phase in his life.

"The power is within myself," echoed the man. "And HE helped me realize this. HE was the one who came to me at a time of need. Unable to walk after the accident, I wept like a child every day. I wallowed in pain and loss. My family had given up their hopes on me. I had given up my hopes and dreams. Until... That is until I came across this haven. I met GOD here, the Almighty God and HE showed me the way. It wasn't easy. I lost faith in HIM so many times. But GOD, God is patient and God WILL help you even if you do not believe in him."

Jesse wasn't one to believe in miracles but she couldn't help but be convinced by this message. The video clearly showed the speaker in a wheelchair, with paralyzed limbs. But he was walking albeit limping a bit.

"HE can help you too, dear listener," the video continued. "Just like the Lord has helped me, he can help you too. I had lost hope in life. I was supposed to die but I survived so I took it as a sign to continue. Now I have a better life. I can walk. I have a wife and two beautiful kids. This can be you too. Come join us. Click the link and become a part of this wonderful journey of life."

A link appeared and Jesse clicked on it. She wouldn't have done so if it was any normal day. But right now she would give anything for a miracle. She desperately needed one. Her surgery was taking place at the end of the week and she felt hopeless. Needing a miracle and taking this as a sign, she did the only thing required for a membership that was to donate a sum of $50 or above.

Donation of $100 made to Lord Almighty Foundation. She gave away most of what she had to make herself feel better.

Closing the tab, Jesse opened her Facebook. The first news headline on her feed was:

"Founders of Lord Almighty Foundation Prisoned After An Investigation On Online Scam and Gambling"...
