I think it's fake. Most blind people have modern smartphones. They are actually great tools for blind people with powerful accessibility features. Just the camera alone with text recognition. No way a blind person in her age would have used a flip phone.

Maybe but if you go off the dates this was posted and take in the about 2 years of time skip in it. I don't think it's at all crazy a blind person in 2017 had a flip phone.

Especially if they've had the flip phone for a couple years at that point too. 2015 flip phone for a blind person is believable.
