Have you <br />experienced a <br />decrease in TOTAL <br />HOUSEHOLD <br />income of 30% or <br />more? <br />Yes <br />Please explain how <br />your general <br />livelihood has been <br />impacted by COVID- <br />19. <br />All engagements have been cancelled as of March 13, 2020. <br />My usual Winter gig has also been cancelled for January-March 2021. <br />My average monthly performance income before Corona was about <br />$1,500-$2,500 depending on the time of year. Of course now it is <br />zero. Unemployment is now about $164 a week and ends completely <br />December 26,2020. <br />Have you applied for <br />unemployment <br />benefits? <br />Yes <br />Have you been <br />approved for <br />benefits? <br />Yes, I was approved <br />Grant amount <br />requested: <br />600 <br />How do you intend to <br />use the grant, if <br />awarded? <br />Please note this is my fourth request and therefore I should be a <br />lower priority. We will use the money to pay off our UNC hospitals <br />$1,682 outstanding medical bills. Although he is under 22, he was <br />diagnosed with ocular hypertension the predecessor to Glaucoma. <br />Luckily he has a very good eye doctor at UNC and it is under control. <br />Now he just has twice yearly visits. <br />How else may we <br />help you right now? <br />The Orange County Arts commission has been incredibly helpful. <br />Perhaps a highlight of where else Artists should apply for assistance <br />would be helpful. Also suggestions of how to survive after <br />unemployment ends next month. Thanks for all you are doing. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: F007353A-CFD0-49C4-AE30-438816836491
