In NYC, there's a blind girl who lived at the 17th floor of a penthouse, all alone because her father wasn't around...probably away for work...


A fire struck the penthouse and soon enough the whole building was engulfed in flames..Most of the residents managed to evacuate the building on fire but not the blind girl..She felt that something wasn't right because her penthouse was just a little bit too warm for comfort....Soon enough smokes began to seep under the main door and filled the whole house....Sensing that she is in a very dangerous situation..She climbed onto the window ledge and squatted there for fresh air...

At that point of time...Firemen saw the blind girl..but had no idea that she was visually impaired...They brought the safety net below her and one of the fireman shouted for her to jump down...But the girl did not budge...

The firemen were running out of ideas and the building was showing signs of collapsing when the father finally arrived to the scene....The father quickly asked for a megaphone and shouted: I am your father, please do as I tell you, exactly...Stand up!

The blind girl stood up instantly. Father: Now, jump!

She leapt into the oblivion, not knowing what's in store for her...But thankfully, due to her faith in her father that he will not harm her, she landed safely into the safety net..

Faith is a powerful thing, even leading those who are blind to sanctuary...
