Hello, my name is Penny. I’m a friend of Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh, and I help manage a Facebook fan group for them.
Jenny was recently diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Although she is still in the early stages, she has already begun experiencing symptoms such as changes in her voice, slurred speech, and difficulty swallowing.
As many of you know, ALS is a progressive disease that will require increasing medical care and support over time. The primary purpose of this fundraiser is to help cover Jenny’s growing medical expenses, including mobility equipment such as a walker and wheelchair, in-home nursing or caregiver support, and future hospital and treatment costs. Medication alone for 1 year will exceed $200,000.
In addition, with the support of Jenny’s daughters, Christina and Dominique, we hope this fundraiser may also help make it possible for them to spend extended time in India so they can be by their mom’s side and support both Jenny and Sumit during this difficult journey.
If you know Jenny and Sumit, whether through the show, social media, or personally, you know how loving, genuine, and kindhearted they are. Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping them navigate the financial challenges ahead and ensuring Jenny has the care and support she needs.
Thank you for your generosity, your prayers, and your continued love for Jenny and Sumit.

Jenny has had several MRI's, CAT Scans and has been tested for the gene that could provide her with medication to slow the process down of the progression of ALS. While the MRI's and CAT Scan's found nothing, Jenny is still waiting for the results of the gene testing.
I am close friend of Jenny and Sumit, In December of 2025, Jenny was experiencing problems with Migraine Headaches, Chocking while drinking water and trouble swollowing. Jenny also noticed her speech was different.
Shortly after filming for the season on The Last Resort, Jenny made an appointment to see her doctor who did some testing and found she had developed Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) which has no cure but can be slowed down with medication but only if she carries a certain gene.
Jenny is waiting on the results of those tests.
Since that diagnosis and in the last 8 months, Jenny's voice has deteriorated and speaks very slowly and she is experiencing weakness and loss of mobility while walking. Once an avid walker, Jenny can only take a few steps at a time now but is still determined to keep walking.
As her friend, I felt I must do something to help her as she is so kind and loving and wants happiness for everyone. It's the least I could do to help my dear friend who has developed this devastating disease.
I have set up this fundraiser to help with Jenny's doctor's care and mobility care for the future. Jenny's Husband Sumit, has been right by her side and doing everything he can to make her comfortable. Sumit had to leave his job to fully care for Jenny and Her daughter Christina will be flying out to see and co care for Jenny in August of 2026.
While there are many more tests to be done, Jenny has been diligent in finding out all she can and do for this horrible disease.
Thank you all for your donations thus far, Jenny is overwhelmed with your kindness in giving and helping her reach her goal. Your donations, positivitey and kindness are helping Jenny get through this each and every day and Jenny, Sumit and I thank you for all you have done to help her though her days.. God Bless you all ❤

I’d like to thank everyone who has donated to the GoFundMe we have raised 78,263 thank you so much. I still have ALS the bulbar kind that stays in my mouth hence why i talk so slow, i have trouble swallowing and pain in my back as this disease reaches to your spine so when i walk i suffer low back pain.
Yes I am still independent for now but as this disease progression happens i will need more care so we have applied for Sumit’s visa to the US (California) because my daughters live there and I’m from there!
So we are waiting on his visa as i won’t travel alone, it’s not safe for me.
Sumit and i have made a video on my ALS and even went live explaining what’s going on with it so please if you see a video pop up from us or are able to join a live with us you’ll stay updated.
Thank you so much for your care about me and your prayers
