How a woman, left for dead, survived a violent home invasion: "There's no earthly reason why I'm alive. None."

This story originally aired on May 20, 2023. "The only thing I can say is an apology to the victim. My actions have altered her life cruelly. She should never have had to take on the pain and suffering I inflicted. She did not deserve what happened to her, and it was entirely my fault. All I can do is wake up each day guided by my unforgiveable actions, and act with the dignity my 16 year old self did not possess. I am sorry for everything."

Tiny Colts Neck, New Jersey, sits just 50 miles from New York City. But it might as well be a world away. In July 2013, this quiet community was rocked by news of a violent home invasion where the victim was stabbed repeatedly. The only thing more shocking: the victim survived.

Donna Ongsiako: My name is Donna Ongsiako. … I lost in total, close to three quarters of the blood in my body. There's no earthly reason why I'm alive. None.
