Help a girl out

My typical bitchtastic commentary is neither required nor appropriate here. Please help if you can.

From the New York Daily News:

Friends of Kevin Aviance are appealing for donations to help the downtown performer, who did not have health insurance at the time of his brutal bashing last weekend.

Aviance, who has topped the Billboard dance charts twice, was knocked unconscious and had his jaw broken by four thugs in the East Village. He is recovering at home after being treated at Beth Israel Medical Center.

Checks made out to Eric Snead — Aviance's birth name — are being accepted by the Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project at 240 W. 35th St., Suite 200, New York, NY 10001.
