She is not in her 70"s but 87 years old. We sat next to them and I was witness to the fact that he was blind. His father apologized many times over for being a burden on the passengers. I myself didn't want my mother to change her seat because I needed to help her on the flight but she insisted on helping them out. She herself is not Haredi or Hassidish but she believes in loving all people.

My mother wants to comment because this article has published over and over and it is not the truth -

"I am the woman who gave over my seat to that blind man. He was insulted over and over again about the situation he was in. It was enough that he was blind. It seems that people have no feelings, compassion. We can't judge a person by his clothes or by which house of worship he attends."
