Rachel AKA Velvet teeth update. (2 IN THE CHEST)

 Help Rachel Smile Again: Pay Off Her Jaw Surgery So She Can Get Her Teeth Back!

Hey Phoenix music fam and everyone who’s ever felt the thunder of 2 IN THE CHEST—Rich here, with an urgent update on Rachel, the heartbeat behind our drums, mom to our bassist Sammy, and one of the toughest, kindest souls you’ll ever meet.Rachel’s been battling in silence, but it got critical. A rare bone disease was literally eating away at her lower jaw. She went in for emergency reconstructive surgery: doctors pulled all her bottom teeth, scraped out the diseased bone, and rebuilt her jaw from scratch. It saved her life and her ability to ever eat or speak normally again—but the bill is massive, and insurance won’t touch it.

Now she’s healing... but she can’t get her implant-supported denture until this surgery is paid off. No regular denture will work with the jaw bone she’s lost. Without it, she’s stuck with constant pain, no way to chew real food, and that smile she’s always hidden? Still gone.This isn’t vanity. This is:

• A mom who just wants to bite into an apple with her kids.
• A blind drummer who powers through gigs but winces with every beat.
• A woman who’s poured her soul into our scene and now needs us to carry her.

Every dollar goes straight to clearing that surgery debt so she can get her new teeth ASAP. If you’ve moshed to Rachel & Sammy’s mother-daughter groove, if you believe legends shouldn’t suffer because they’re on assistance—donate now, share this everywhere.Let’s get Rachel eating, laughing, and smashing those kits with a full, fearless smile again.Rich, Sammy, and the whole 2 IN THE CHEST crew love you for showing up.
