Help Stacy Rebuild: Escaping Abuse & Seeking Stability

Hello, my name is Stacy Ngang, and I’m a full-time senior at the University of Texas at Arlington majoring in Information Systems. For years, I’ve been silently enduring emotional and physical abuse at home, trying to stay afloat while balancing school, survival, and the pressure of keeping my struggles hidden.

On July 26, 2025, I was forced out of my home after a violent outburst where I was physically attacked by my father for asking to be spoken to with respect. This was not an isolated event — I’ve endured countless experiences of verbal degradation, being called names like “fat,” “idiot,” or “stupid,” and being beaten for things as small as sighing while tired, sleeping through a call, or even dreaming of becoming a singer. These memories are heavy, painful, and countless — many of which I’ve had to suppress just to function.

That day, I made the hardest and bravest decision of my life: I left for good.

Since then, I’ve been temporarily staying with family friends and my boyfriend’s aunt while I try to:

• Secure stable housing

• Pack and move all of my belongings from my former home

• Support myself financially for the first time

• Find steady work while maintaining my GPA and school attendance

• Heal from the trauma of years of abuse

Why I’m Raising Funds

This GoFundMe is my urgent plea for help. I am asking for support to help me get back on my feet and build a future free from fear and instability.

All donations will go toward:

• First month’s rent & deposit for a safe apartment ($600–$700 range)

• Furniture & storage (movers, mattress, dresser, basic needs)

• Groceries, utilities, gas, and other necessities

• School supplies, books, and transportation

• Emergency therapy or health care needs

I’ve already secured a work-study position and am actively applying for part-time jobs and internships related to my major. I’m also working with UTA’s Financial Aid Office to gain independent student status, which could increase my aid — but that takes time, and I need help now.

This situation was never something I planned or wanted — but I know I deserve safety, peace, and a future. I’m not asking for a handout — I’m asking for a lifeline. I’m doing everything I can on my own, and I’ve made it this far with nothing but grit, faith, and the support of kind people around me.

If you can donate — any amount helps. If not, please consider sharing this with others. Every bit of support helps me move forward.

Thank you for reading, thank you for believing in me, and thank you for helping me rise.

With gratitude,

Stacy Ngang
