ALS-Stricken 90 Day Fiancé Star Seeks Fan Support Amid Visa Woes
90 Day Fiancé stars Jenny Slatten and her husband Sumit Singh are facing a heartbreaking challenge in their fight against ALS. In December, Jenny was diagnosed with the debilitating disease, which affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
The couple's original plan was to travel to the United States for medical treatment, but this proved complicated due to visa issues. Sumit has yet to get a U.S. spousal visa approved, and Jenny will not go without him by her side.
In an update on August 30, Sumit shared that Jenny's mobility and speech have started to deteriorate rapidly. He explained, 'It's hard for you [Jenny] to talk now, and again, walk and maintain balance as well… Jenny’s losing strength in her [spine] and neck… which is making it harder for Jenny to balance while she is walking or doing anything.'
The couple fears that if Jenny travels to America without Sumit's visa being approved, she may be unable to return to India, effectively ending their relationship. Sumit emphasized the importance of getting a visa, saying 'It means that we’re going to be apart, for kind of forever.' He added, 'I want Jenny to start getting treated… I want Jenny to start feeling better, or at least [have] a support system which makes Jenny at least feel like not a struggle every day.'
