Jenny Slatten’s friend has issued a sad update on the progression of the “90 Day Fiance” star’s ALS.
On Wednesday, family friend Serma Minincleri posted an update to the GoFundMe page she started for Jenny and Sumit Singh back in May, which has raised over $124,000 as of press time.
“Jenny is getting weaker by the day,” Serma shared. “She is on 2 medications for ALS which are Edaravone and Riluzole, [which are] both supposed to slow the process down. Both pills make Jenny very tired, plus she takes B12, melatonin and magnesium.”
Serma stated that Jenny’s condition has unfortunately worsened to the point that speaking has become painful for her.
“Jenny hardly speaks now as it hurts,” she wrote. “Sumit speaks more for her and is the main spokesperson for his wife. Sumit is Jenny’s main caregiver and doing a great job each day.”

The update went on to say that Jenny has seen numerous neurologists and speech therapists recently and is “doing what is asked of her.”
Serma added that Jenny plans to begin acupuncture soon, as well as other holistic treatments that they hope will help with her mobility and reduce her tiredness.
Jenny and Sumit announced in May that she had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is a “fatal and progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord,” according to the Mayo Clinic. It causes muscle weakness and, eventually, loss of mobility and speech.
There is currently no cure for ALS and the two medications Serma says Jenny is taking slow down the chemical responses that cause her debilitating symptoms, but do not actually eradicate the disease.

Sumit has stated that Jenny’s symptoms began long before her diagnosis, and even before they traveled to England to film for “90 Day Fiance: The Last Resort” Season 3. He said that when they received her diagnosis in December 2025, doctors said that it’s possible Jenny could’ve been living with early stages of ALS for nearly two years.
Jenny and Sumit have issued several updates on Jenny’s health since they announced her diagnosis, with the most-recent update touching on Jenny’s speech and mobility and Sumit’s ongoing visa process to get to the U.S., which he started in July. The couple currently lives in Sumit’s home country of India but are trying to move to the U.S. as Jenny’s condition worsens.
In August, Sumit stated that Jenny is having trouble balancing and moving around as the strength in her spine weakens. Sumit said that “it’s about time [they] will start using the equipment,” referring to mobility aids.

Sumit’s visa process has unfortunately stalled after his first visa application was denied. He explained that the Indian consulate originally scheduled his visa appointment for February 2027, but officials granted him an earlier meeting after he explained the urgency of his situation.
Sumit said that during his interview, he mentioned his and his wife’s appearances on “90 Day Fiancé,” which he believes led the consulate to reject his application. He claimed that once the show came into the conversation, the interviewer rerouted the questions to discuss Sumit’s intentions for going to America.
Sumit stated that he believed that since many former cast members took the opportunity of coming to America to “scam” their partners, the consulate assumed that of him as well. They are currently in the process of appealing their rejection.
The season finale of “90 Day Fiance: The Last Resort” airs Monday on TLC.

I hate this. HATE. ALS is SO brutal… NO one deserves to go through it and it just makes me so sad for her and Sumit. At the same time I think even the naysayers can say though that clearly, they love each other. He is taking care of her, and you could see it’s absolutely breaking his heart- when he spoke for her on the reunion of the last season, you could just see it in his face, but he is trying so hard to be strong for them. They have always been a favorite of mine from the franchise and one of the most sincere in their love and intentions for each other. They’ve had to go through a lot. While I am sad for them, I am also grateful that they got to experience true love together and will be able to spend the rest of Jenny’s days together. They are so precious. I pray for a miracle, for more time for them to have together. I just hope this is as peaceful as the process can be for them both.
F ALS. I’m so glad she actually found a good man who is helping care for her. So many people, especially women, tend to be left if they get seriously ill. I hope Sumit also has support.
i hope the time they have left is as peaceful and painless as possible.
My wife (55) was diagnosed Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) in February 2026. She started displaying symptoms in July 2025. We were referred to an ALS clinic and began all the blood tests, MRI”s, etc. our neurologist stated that this looked more like an autoimmune than ALS but all of the autoimmune treatments were not effective. Referred to another ALS clinic were they confirmed diagnosis of sporadic limb onset ALS. In November 2025, she was using a cane to walk due to foot drop and leg weakness. She had fasciculations in her arms and back, clonus in her left leg, and weakness in her right arm and hand. Currently, she was 100% dependent on me for her care. She had virtually no use of her arms, hands and legs. She struggled with more things that have time to list here, her neurologist asked us if we would like to try out an alternative natural ALS/MND treatment that was formulated to treat ALS of which we accepted because she would not have survived if our primary care physician hadn’t given her attentive care and attention, so in July, she tried the ALS/MND protocol—the best decision ever! Her symptoms eased, her muscle strength returned, and she no longer need the feeding tube. She feels like a new woman, and she can walk and exercise again. We got the ALS/MND protocol from ww w. limitlessnaturalwellness .com this is a breakthrough for PALS and their CALS.
This is one of those horrible diseases where the sooner it’s over the better. I support in assisted suicide for that reason. It makes no sense that humans have to endure suffering that we wouldn’t let our pets go through.
If there’s a God that wants Jenny to suffer an absolutely miserable slow death, he can kiss my ass.
I agree 100
I agree. I’d call it good an exit out while I still could.
Bum deal.
Oh man how sad. She looks in so much pain but has always had such a caring, positive attitude on the show. Sumit is a true blessing for Jenny and I hope and wish the best for them both.
ALS is a horrible disease that I would not wish on anyone. I’m glad she’s able to access care in India & that Sumit is with her taking care of her. Just an awful situation.
