Find Eloise and Bring her Home

Donation protected
So, Exactly 1 year ago today, July 19th, 2019, was the last time I, or anyone else within my own reach for that matter, talked to my sister.

Eloise has been missing for a year now and I’m stuck in the same position as I was then. I’ve tried all I can from Australia.

I’ve put in a missing persons report, not only for Florida, but the states surrounding as well. I have contacted the people she knows and usually talks to. I have called jails, hospitals, Shelters, etc. I have had no luck in this area.

Eloise has always been the depressed type that sat in her own little bubble, in her room, on the internet, writing or reading. It’s very unlike her to not have been on the internet for 1 day let alone a whole year. She was never independent, she is an extremely dependent person and feels like everyone else has to help her because doing it herself is an option that requires hard work. This also is a worry, because by now I’d have thought she would have at least asked someone for money. If Eloise doesn’t have a place to stay, she stays in the psychiatric ward due to her borderline personality disorder, a homeless shelter, sober living facilities due to her alcoholism, or a halfway house because all of these options are free and require no hard work.

          Eloise suffers from mental illness, alcoholism and substance abuse due to her not wanting to face or feel reality. I’m also afraid that because she burns all of her bridges in severe ways like stealing, lying, and by having these severely manic episodes while drunk or high making it extremely hard to handle or control, that she may have triggered the wrong person or it landed her in some deep trouble. She’s a very intelligent person, but sometimes people perceive it to be insulting and facetious and not many people on the streets take kindly to that sort of behaviour.

          Look, this is all speculation on my part because it’s what is constantly going on in my head. I don’t sleep much because I have nightmares about it all, mainly because I’m thinking about it all day long. I’ve woken up crying my eyes out on multiple occasions due to the most horrific nightmares anyone can have of their loved ones.

          All of this being said, I love my sister. Being a twin, we have more of a connection than normal siblings. I miss her so deeply, I am myself completely lost. I have this lost connection and it’s giving me an unbearable amount of pain.

          I’m trying to live my life, but all I’m doing is working and trying to sleep.  The stress has rendered me unable to form any sort of friendships or relationships because I wouldn’t subject any person to live with even 5% of the pain I am going through.

          I don’t know what to do now. I am putting up this GoFundMe page because no matter the outcome, when I find my sister, I want to bring her over to Australia to be near me. She will have more opportunities here including free healthcare to cover her mental illness, she will have Centrelink to help with providing shelter, food, clothing, transport, etc. And finally, she will also have me. Maybe she needs someone to love her unconditionally. I’m in Australia, Dad and Oliver are in California, so like me, she has no family around her and that is hard. I suffer with that all the time, so I think having her twin sister close is a good thing for her mental illness issues. It will help mine.

So if anyone can help in any way, I’ll be so thankful. If you can’t help financially, please help by just hitting share and get this as far out there as we can.

I love you all and Eloise, if you get to see this, I love you so much, please let us know you’re ok.
