Help Me Achieve Needed COVID-19 Food Deliveries

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Charles Smith, and I am a working musician who had been doing music accompanying at the Fine Arts building for 13 years and making money doing it. Not only that, I was a creative composer/arranger who had worked on musical and visual projects for years, and also trying to complete my own autobiography and doing several more new writing projects. 

But things had very drastically changed. 

Realizing that I am temporarily out of the job as a music accompanist at the Fine Arts Building in downtown Chicago because the place is closed down to stop the spread of the virus, and having to obey the strict stay-at-home mandates during the COVID-19 crisis that keeps me from dining at restaurants (or causing some other restaurants to be closed down), this is the reason for this new campaign - my first one launched during the height of the COVID-19 crisis. 

As I started to pay for my own online food deliveries when I found out that the stay-at-home order in Illinois was going to be extended, I was going to have a goal of $50 to last until April 7, but doing the numbers, and figuring out that I spend about $10 to $15 every day on online food ordering for myself and taking into account the extension of the stay-at-home order which would be until April 30th (it was previously going to end on April 7 but it was not going to happen), I realize that without my job for a while (I cannot work again until about May 1 or maybe even longer), I realized that the goal needs to be raised from $50 to $300, which is my new goal for my campaign.

Help me to live through this toughest time of this health crisis, because even with this global pandemic running currently, I would still need to have good food to help myself maintain my sanity and help keep up my spirits during this extremely trying time. I also know that all of you other people are trying to deal with getting food during the crisis, but my problem with getting food still matters.

Your support will also help me to do some diversionary entertainment/music/creative projects that I can concentrate more and more to also help me ride out this crisis. I had already did some creative things during the pandemic, such as projects using Facebook Live and Jitsi platforms, but this will help me concentrate much more on these projects with much more focus. 

Thank you for helping out, and I will be very grateful to all of you as we all ride the course of stay-at-home for a while.
