Hey everyone,
I hope all of you have been staying safe and healthy these past few weeks. The sudden Crisis arising from this COVID-19 Pandemic has taken a toll on all of us. I've been well, as has my family, but I've taken a lot of financial losses due to this crisis.
I've toyed with the idea of asking for donations, but that doesn't sit right with me and seems selfish in this crisis. What I really want to do is help those who need help. With great crisis comes the great opportunity to do good, so I'm doing a small Charity Art Stream this Friday from 7pm - 11pm EST. Half of all proceeds will go to the UHN's Emergency COVID-19 Fund to benefit Hospitals. I'll be drawing my own work for some of the stream, but donations can include messages that suggest things to draw and, time permitting, I'll draw them. I can even send the art to those suggesting if they provide contact info.
I don't know how much to expect with this, but I'm willing to give this a shot. Whether we make $1 or $100, I'll be sending half of it to the UHN. The other half will help offset my losses. This will let you support me and our Healthcare workers and I'll be Tweeting a receipt confirming the donation afterwards. If you just want to support the UHN, by all means just donate to them directly. I will state though that I am NOT affiliated or associated with UHN, I just want to do some good in this crisis.
Our Healthcare workers are at the front lines of all this and I want to help support them however I can. I hope you'll join me at https://www.twitch.tv/supersparkplug/ tonight.
