Hello everyone, my name is Tisha Hardage and I’m raising funds to cover the medical bills of a recent medical emergency that happened to me. A lot of you know me as Tish, your friendly neighborhood bartender or as the goofy and strange girl with all the creepy tattoos, but I’ve been secretly battling mental illness along with postpartum depression that I let go untreated these past few years and it finally caught up with me. I made a huge mistake that I will forever deeply regret and I almost lost my life over it. I fell deep into addiction and struggled with alcoholism behind closed doors. My journey through sobriety has been tough but every day is worth waking up to my children’s beautiful and snarky little faces.

Long story short, I ended up in the hospital after having multiple seizures, my right kidney was failing, my right lung started to collapse, I was unconscious for 2 days, couldn’t walk on the 3rd day and I experienced tachycardia for several days. I spent 8 days in the hospital at Banner Estrella recovering before I could be released. I unfortunately don’t have insurance and the bills really piled up. On top of taking a leave of absence from work until I can fully recover physically AND mentally. I just want to give my children a good Xmas since I ruined Thanksgiving by laying in a hospital bed and couldn’t be there with my family because of a selfish decision I made.

I have never felt better mentally after all of the treatments but the stress of how I’m going to recover financially and get out of this hole is breaking my spirit. I would never ask if I didn’t actually need it but anything helps.

I’m so grateful for all the people who have reached out to check on me; you all truly helped more than you can ever know.

With Love, Tish
