Hillary Took a Tumble and Finally Broke a Leg

Update 12/11/2024; My landlord was feeling gracious and is now letting me stay until January 1st…I learned this while I was un the apartment with my cousin packint up my stuff and waiting on the sheriff to come and see me out. I now have 19 dayd, I am grateful but I am still ynder a crunch time wise and financialy to get everything figured out. A HUGE thank you to everyone that has helped me through the last 48 hours. I will be spending some time with my cousin over the next couple lf days, because I do not think it would good to ve completely alone given my current level of mental health. Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers no matter how big or small they may be. EVERYTHING helps and is appreciated

Update 12/10/2024: I have officially been evicted and must be out of my apartment in 24 hours. I have a place to stay until January 1. My entire first paycheck is going to my new landlord and the security deposit. All of my belongings and furniture will be tossed out tomorrow and I will need help replacing things. I have been trying to avoid aggressively asking and I started working once I was able to walk around for long periods with the walking boot. I am doing the best I can right now being as mobile as I physically can be bartending. I cannot see an orthopedic surgeon until 1/31/2025 since the doctor at touro put in a referal to a private practice that doesnt accept my insurance. I am essentially disabled, but still working with this injuring and my ankle isn’t healimg propery. But I have to do what I have to do. Literally anything helps at the moment. The $125 raised went towards the basics regarding food and transportation. Please help.

FACEBOOK ALBUM UPDATE 11/15/2024: Evidentiary support.

Greetings, my internet peeps TL;DR I NEED HELP CATCHING UP ON THE LAST FEW MONTHS OF PAST DUE BILLS.

*ahem* My name is Hillary; but you can call me Hill, Hills, TrapBitchHill, Tawk Tuah, Boo, Baby, Love, and whatever else… I live in New Orleans and we all call each other out of our names sometimes.

I am a 32-year native New Orleanian and ya girl has been SCRUGGLING since this past June… Really for the past four years since COVID, but I am in DIRE need at the moment.

In the last 30 days: In ONE WEEK I got fired from a job that I was not at for very long over a freaking chocolate martini, had a miscarriage (upsetting but probably for the best), and as a great icing on the cake, I fractured my tibia and possibly had a very minor stroke (neurology appointment next week) at a local bar after tripping down some tiny stairs (pro tip: don't wear flip flops out on a rainy night while having a few drinks to cope with your already horrible life). I was also treated absolutely HORRIBLY at Touro Hospital as they kicked me out and discharged me without treating my fractured ankle and meeting my reasonable requests (a walking boot so I could get up three flights of stairs and do physical therapy on it at home to speed up the healing process).

I was also unemployed for nearly three months over the summer after I was unnecessarily hospitalized for my “mental health” for five days due to my close friend being concerned and having a welfare check done (to be fair, I was INCREDIBLY stressed due to work as I was taking on a lot as Bar Manager and my stress was manifesting as virtual chaos). I returned to both work to place the liquor order and rehearsal for the theater company I was employed with the day I was discharged and no meds were taken besides Tylenol and Benadryl during that stay. A week and a half later, I was suspended from Sake Cafe after I was set up by a bar employee I had JUST hired and threatened assault by another bar employee I had hired a few weeks before that. Mind you, the day before I was committed, another bar employee told me I was “manic” when I was trying to get work done on what was supposed to be my off day, but I was clocked in as I had a meeting with a potential client to redo menus for the restaurant (Shoutout Beauclaire Printing Company). The gossip and the assumptions of others were getting to me and upsetting me.

I have been historically misdiagnosed as Bipolar, but after a lot of trial and error with meds and therapy, it turns out that I am highly ADHD (diagnosed since 2016) and MOST LIKELY on the autism spectrum. I had been receiving care at Metropolitan Behavioral Health Clinic, which does great things for our community, but they were treating me from an addiction and mood disorder standpoint, which was not beneficial to me and my complex psych history.

I am switching to LSU psych and have an appointment next month to be fully evaluated from a psychological standpoint as the only medicine I take now is a stimulant for ADHD and binge eating disorder prescribed by my primary care physician.

ANYWAYS: if you have made it this far, thank you for hanging in there with me. I am OKAY at the current moment as I still have a roof over my head. But my landlord is filing for eviction this week and I do not currently have a job and I also am no longer receiving food stamps. I was able to hold on during the summer thanks to a few small hospitality grants I received.

I currently owe $2372 to my landlord that includes two months of rent, late fees, water bill, and a maintenance fee.

The amount that I am asking for would help cover that, get me up to date on my Entergy bill, pay December rent, and allow me to job hunt without an immense amount of stress both virtually and on foot once I am confidently able to walk again for long periods of time as my job history is limited to about 4 years in retail, 12 years in restaurants, and 1 year (plus many summer volunteer work) in childcare.

I hate having to put myself out there like this… but it is either that or going homeless at this point.

ANYWAYS! I will be attaching a link to a public Facebook album of evidence and receipts I will be putting together to vouch that I am not trying to scam or swindle anyone here. I have this thing where I always think people think I am lying about stuff…hence why I started trolling on my social media back in 2020 on and off.

But if there is one thing, I have always kept my life story consistent and truthful and if you know me, you should also know how I am deep down as a person.

Thank you all in advanced
