She claimed that she had spoken to Jesus and that she would continue to fast until he led her to the next place she needed to be.

She also stated that it was Jesus who gave her the strength to fast and navigate, as she could not do it on her own.

"I had talked to Jesus and I would stop after getting to the next stop. Jesus is the one who gives me strength. You need to ask Him for strength when praying because you can't do it on your own," she said.
