Dear Friends,
My Dad passed away recently. Mom has dementia & needs 24 hour care. We’ve had a series of medical and financial crises.
I’m the only child & responsible for managing it all. Despite my best efforts, I’ve been overwhelmed by weather crisis after crisis. (cont.)
. @SouthwestAir I’ve been a loyal Southwest customer for 2+ decades because: 1) Bags Fly Free & 2) Open Seating. This took the stress out of flying. If you remove these policies, I have no reason to fly your airline. I urge you to reconsider before you lose all your customers.
This would go directly to my Mom’s bills, Dad’s memorial, and cover my essential bills for the next few months.
I’m doing everything I can to get through this and balance that with spending time with my Mom.
If you can donate, I would be grateful. Any amount helps. (cont.)
And either way, if you can share this on your social media, I would be grateful too.
�The best way is to donate directly is via Venmo (no fees). My Venmo is:

Hello @GretaThunberg
I have 33 cars.
My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo.
My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s.
This is just the start.
Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.

A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today.
When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.
