Our Story...
We are TJ, Shaphan and Aubrey, the three children of Theo and Angie Nabong.
As children we were raised by our parents to be respectful, responsible and humble in our Christian upbringing. We spent our days being home schooled by our mother, traveling on missionary trips to Romania and the Philippines and helping our parents with the developmentally disabled adults they cared for.
In 2010, our mama was diagnosed with Breast Cancer where she fought a courageous battle for years until 2012. When we lost our mama, our world turned upside down.
In 2014, our papa suffered from a minor stroke and a heart attack to follow a few months later. He remained healthy and strong following.
In 2015, papa started school for welding and metal fabrication at WCTC which he really loved. He also worked as a Tae Kwon Do instructor for years...he is so great with the young kids and thoroughly enjoyed being a part of their accomplishments! Most recently, papa's been working as a maintenance manager at an apartment complex. But his recent big love is working as security and roadie for the band, The Crisis. Our family has grown over the years with the people who've entered our lives through those avenues.
On Monday morning, our papa suffered a major stroke with a serious brain bleed. He also was diagnosed with a mild heart attack and aspiration pneumonia. Papa was medically sedated to allow his brain to heal. This week has been a long road for us. While we are trying make sense of papa, there are many other things we, as his children, have been faced with. Beside medical decisions, we are faced with responsibilities we were not prepared to handle.
We are now faced with paying all the bills, including mortgage- electric- phones- home/vehicle insurance and Aubrey's Badger Care/health insurance. There is no credit card debt nor any other excess spending. We live modest, if we can't pay for it, we don't buy it. Papa currently does not have health insurance either, however we are working with a social worker to file for Badger Care. He was denied for October which includes 3 days of this hospital stay. We are praying they approve him for November. We are working on trying to get the bills paid for this month. We do not have access to our papa's bank accounts so we have no idea what financial situation we are facing. We do live paycheck to paycheck. Our situation is very precarious as papa did not have a Power of Attorney or Advance Directive so until the court can appoint a guardian, we need to be sure we are able to care for ourselves and our home.
Papa's medical status is very critical. He is paralyzed on his entire right side and his left side has little to no voluntary movement. His brain bleed has not gotten any better and the swelling in his head remains the same as when he was admitted into the ICU. Papa's condition is on a day by day basis- we don't know what tomorrow will bring but we pray for God's healing hands. He is still in the ICU and will remain for the unforeseeable future.
We have been taught by our parents to work hard and we do. Aubrey has started school this week and we know that we will need to get full time jobs to care for ourselves and papa. Our papa was never one to ask for assistance or help financially and it's really difficult to accept the position we are in. We pray that we can have time to be with our papa and our family during this difficult time and not need to worry about making sure we have a home to return to.
We know that the help we receive now, will be paid back to others in our future.
Please Pray for our papa and our family.
Thank you for all the love and support,
TJ, Shaphan and Aubrey Nabong
