Jenny Slatten Is Fighting for Her Life — and Thousands of 90 Day Fiance Fans Are Fighting Back for Her

Jenny Slatten is living the cruelest chapter of her life — and while ALS steals her voice, her spirit refuses to stay quiet. The 68-year-old 90 Day Fiancé star found the strength for one blistering message to the trolls attacking her GoFundMe: keep your money — all she wants is her health back. The fandom answered with their wallets: the fundraiser has surged past $108,000 from nearly 3,000 donors, a landmark show of support in this franchise’s history.

Everything We Know About Jenny’s ALS Fight

The first frightening signs appeared in December 2024. Sumit watched Jenny choke badly while drinking water; then came the migraines and trouble swallowing pills. Dismissed as an infection, they watched her speech slow until she avoided conversations altogether. At a 90 Day Fiancé holiday event in December 2025, fans saw her slurring words on camera and feared she had suffered a stroke. It turned out to be something worse: ALS — the same disease that killed her father.

Jenny went public with the diagnosis in May 2026. A September update on her GoFundMe page says she is “getting weaker by the day.” She takes Edaravone and Riluzole — meant to slow ALS but leaving her exhausted — plus B12, melatonin and magnesium. She “hardly speaks now” because speaking hurts. When Sumit asked if she wanted to say something to fans, she slowly answered: “No, I can’t talk.” Sumit, 38, has become her full-time caregiver and her spokesperson.

The Clapback That Lit the Fuse

Over a beach-sunset graphic, Jenny delivered the rawest message of her public life: “For all those people who are mad about the GoFundMe for my ALS, you can have the money if i can have your health.” Not the soft-spoken Jenny viewers remember — a woman fighting for her life, done being polite about it.

She also used the moment to defend her husband. Jenny shared one of her earliest Cameo videos, reflecting on how fluently she used to speak — versus today, when she can “barely talk.” She said people once mocked her voice before the diagnosis, and now people judge Sumit the same way. “He is my husband, he loves me,” she wrote. “He is also my only caregiver.”

3,000 Donors Strong: The Fandom Shows Up

Launched in May 2026 by friend Penny Minincleri, the fundraiser was blunt: medication alone could top $200,000 a year, plus mobility equipment, in-home nursing, hospital costs — and funds so daughters Christina and Dominique can spend extended time in India by their mom’s side.

TMZ reported the total crossed $108,000 from more than 2,800 donations by September 1, and according to reports it has since climbed past $114,000 from around 3,000 donors. The couple is also trying to get Jenny back to the United States for additional medical care — but Sumit’s visa application remains unresolved.

The Doubters: Why Some Fans Are Still Uncomfortable

Not everyone cheered. Some viewers question whether a reality TV star should crowdfund at all — the exact skepticism Jenny’s post targeted. Jenny and Sumit insist the fundraiser is legitimate — Penny created it to help with what they call the enormous financial burden. And as supporters note, donating is voluntary: nobody is forced to click.

Where Do You Stand?

Jenny gave this franchise beloved moments — the woman who moved to India at 61 to follow her heart, married Sumit in 2021 against every odd, and won millions over. Now she asks those millions for help surviving.

So be honest: are you Team Jenny — rallying behind her with every donation and prayer — or do you side with the skeptics? And the harder question: should a reality star ever have to ask fans for help? Drop your answer in the comments.
