Joshua Elon Brown owed Morehouse College about $18,000. 

That was until he checked his student portal one day this past October. He logged in like normal, but the balance was cleared. It was a miracle. 

“I just broke out into tears,” Brown said. “I literally was just like, ‘Thank you God, this is all I ever wanted.’”
