The Story

nde unknown very_positive Moderate Transformation 10/10 Intensity

Debbie Ali was kidnapped on her 31st birthday while cleaning her garage in Trinidad. Two armed men forced her into her home, tied her up, and took her valuables. They beat her and eventually threw her into a hole in the ground. Over the next 14 days, she endured severe abuse and was moved to different locations. Throughout her ordeal, she repeatedly called on Jesus for help. After her release, she transformed her trauma into a mission to help others who have faced similar violence. She became an advocate for trauma victims, sharing her story to raise awareness and promote healing.
