Sumit Singh has been by Jenny Slatten’s side since her ALS diagnosis. Their GoFundMe has received generous donations from 90 Day Fiancé fans. Some fans have raised a sharp question: Why is Sumit asking viewers for money instead of paying for his wife’s treatment himself?
Sumit heard the criticism, so he responded directly in a video about Jenny’s health.
His Explanation Comes Down To One Thing
Sumit’s answer centers on what Jenny’s care actually requires right now. She can’t travel alone. A long trip to America for treatment is too much for her to handle by herself. Beyond travel, Jenny needs him constantly. Every task requires his help.
That reality does not leave much room for a traditional job. Full-time caregiving is real work, even if it doesn’t come with a paycheck. Anyone who has cared for a seriously ill family member understands how demanding it can be. The couple faced financial issues even before the diagnosis. Jenny also has no health insurance in India. That’s why they set a high fundraising goal.
The Fundraiser Keeps Growing
Despite the criticism, support has kept flowing. The GoFundMe has raised close to $90,000, and the couple has been open about their gratitude. In a previous update, Sumit thanked donors. He said the love they received was more than they expected.
Castmate Sarper has helped too. He raised funds for Jenny with his comedy shows. Support from the 90 Day family shows Jenny’s goodwill after seven years in the franchise.
Where The Couple Stands
Jenny, 68, is living in India with Sumit while they navigate her diagnosis together. Her speech has slowed, and her voice has changed. In their latest health update, she openly shared this. She also expects to need a wheelchair soon.
The couple’s plan is clear: if they discover good treatment options in the United States and gather enough funds, they will try to move back. Until then, Sumit’s answer to the critics is essentially his daily life. He is where Jenny needs him to be.
