Jenny Slatten and her husband Sumit Singh are asking for help as they confront a rapidly changing health crisis. The reality TV couple, known from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, have launched a public fundraiser and are speaking directly to fans about the financial and emotional toll of Jenny’s amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnosis.
Why they started a GoFundMe and what it aims to cover
The couple set up a GoFundMe on May 20 with a target of $250,000. As of the latest update, the page has collected roughly $56,360 toward medical and daily living needs. They have said private insurance and international care logistics leave them facing steep out-of-pocket costs.

- Medical equipment: walker, wheelchair and other mobility aids.
- Home care: in-home nursing or caregiver support to assist with daily tasks.
- Treatment and hospital expenses: future therapies and visits that may not be covered.
Jenny’s condition and how it’s changed her voice and mobility
Jenny, 68, revealed her ALS diagnosis last month. Her speech has slowed and become slurred, and she reports tiring more quickly when walking. She said she expects mobility aids will likely become necessary soon, though she is still trying to maintain independence.
Jenny told followers that her voice has changed and walking is growing more difficult. She emphasized she does not want to become a burden on family members living abroad.
Sumit’s role: caregiving, advocacy and appeals for kindness
Sumit, 38, has taken on most day-to-day support duties while they explore treatment options. He explained that bringing Jenny to the U.S. isn’t simple. Visa hurdles and travel limitations make an immediate move impractical.
Speaking to their audience, Sumit asked for donations but also for understanding. He framed the fundraiser as a necessary step to make Jenny’s life more comfortable, not a cure.
“Money will not cure this, but it can ease daily life,” he said, urging followers to refrain from harsh criticism that could add stress to Jenny.
Logistics of care across borders
The couple say they lack medical coverage in India and that a U.S. relocation would bring legal and financial complications. They prefer not to put the burden on Jenny’s three daughters living in America, who have their own families and responsibilities.
- Travel for medical reasons can be limited by physical capacity and visa permissions.
- Long-term care is often more costly and harder to coordinate across countries.
Updates on daily life and independence
Despite progression, Jenny retains a degree of independence. She continues to walk in short bursts and insists she is doing her utmost to keep moving.
Sumit repeatedly stressed perseverance. “Giving up is not an option,” he said, framing his caregiving as an act of devotion and commitment.
How the fundraiser fits into their public story
The couple first drew wide attention on TLC because of their 30-year age gap and cross-cultural relationship. They married in India in 2021, a ceremony filmed for the season three finale of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.
Fans and critics have both weighed in since the GoFundMe launched. The couple has faced scrutiny over asking for public money, and they’ve responded directly on social media to explain the practical needs behind the campaign.
What Sumit said about love and caregiving
In recent comments, Sumit reflected on how the experience has changed him. He said caring for Jenny has deepened his sense of purpose and redefined what love means to him.
He described putting Jenny’s needs first as a source of joy and meaning.
