After a gig in Mission Beach on May 14th, 25 year old San Diego musician Rhythm Turner was victim to a brutal attack by a man whose motivations were based in homophobia, leaving Rhythm with two very serious facial fractures and the inability to perform musically. The attacker was arrested for felony assault, but is not currently being charged with a hate crime.

Rhythm needs reconstructive surgery to fix her fractures, but as a full-time student and musician she has no health insurance. If you'd like to help with these costs, please consider a contribution via this paypal link:

Any amount would very much be appreciated!




Also, keep an eye out for information on a benefit/ fundraiser event coming soon. If you'd like to contribute a product or service certificate for the silent auction at this event, please email

Thanks to everyone for their continued support, prayers and well-wishes.
