Overview
- The 94-year-old told Bild by phone, "I can't see anything. I am blind," confirming total loss of sight.
- Her left eye failed after macular destruction, and a recent bleeding in the right eye led to surgery that did not restore vision.
- She now lives in a farmhouse near Eyendorf in the Lüneburger Heide, where close friend Linda Schnitzler assists with daily routines.
- Reports say she receives only a small pension and cannot afford a care home or a full-time caregiver.
- Mobility is limited as she uses a wheelchair, with her roommate saying she is currently too weak to push it.
