ALS Star Defends Beach Trip Amidst Criticism

Jenny Slatten, known from '90 Day Fiancé,' is currently battling ALS and has recently defended her decision to take a beach vacation in Goa, India, against public criticism. She stated on Facebook that the trip was meant to expose her to negative ions from the ocean, believing they could benefit her condition, despite a lack of clinical evidence supporting this claim. Slatten also clarified that her use of a wheelchair is only for extended periods, not constant. Her health has notably declined, affecting her speech and mobility, with her daughter confirming she has bulbar ALS.

Meanwhile, Slatten and her husband, Sumit Singh, are facing a separate challenge in getting Singh to the U.S. for Slatten's medical treatment. Singh's visa application has been denied, and her daughter has appealed to lawmakers for assistance with an emergency humanitarian visa. The couple's GoFundMe, initiated in May to cover mounting medical expenses, has reportedly raised over $138,000. Singh has explained that Slatten lacks insurance in India and his caregiving duties limit his ability to work.
