Florida mom flying with baby to hospital thanks kind stranger who offered his first-class seat

with Lucy, one of her 11-month-old twin daughters. Zwick told Fox News that little Lucy and her identical twin, Eva, were born 11 weeks prematurely, at just 29 weeks gestation, and that Lucy suffers from severe chronic lung disease as a result of Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a complication of the pregnancy.

To the man in 2D. Today you were traveling from Orlando to Philly. I don’t know you, but I imagine you saw us somewhere. I was pushing a stroller, had a diaper bag on my arm and also lugging an oxygen machine for my daughter. We had smiles on our faces as we were headed to see her “friends” at CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia). We pre- boarded the plane, got cozy in our window seat and made jokes to those around us about having to sit by my yelling-but-happy baby. The flight attendant came over and told me you were waiting to switch seats. You were giving up your comfortable, first class seat to us.

Not able to hold back tears, I cried my way up the aisle while my daughter Lucy laughed! She felt it in her bones too... real, pure, goodness. I smiled and thanked you as we switched but didn’t get to thank you properly. **************************** Sooo... thank you. Not just for the seat itself but for noticing. For seeing us and realizing that maybe things are not always easy. For deciding you wanted to show a random act of kindness to US. It reminded me how much good there is in this world. I can’t wait to tell Lucy someday. In the meantime... we will pay it forward. AA 588 passenger in seat 2D, we truly feel inspired by your generosity. Please share so we can say thanks!

AA knows who he is and FOX needs to find him and thank him live and on the air.

Also these situations are what Go Fund Me is for. Not some Skank that lied about a SC Nominee

I’ll bet any democrat was figuring that at 29 weeks, she could have just aborted both of those beautiful girls.

.……...if he was a white guy, he must have been one of those Don Lemon referred to as a “radical, white man” that “we need to do something about”.

NO. People who do these quiet acts do NOT want their names known. They want to be left alone.

If she was in first class I bet Sheila Jackson would have had AA bump her out of her seat so she could have it.

I feel the same way. The one who needs to know... already knows.
