Jenny Slatten Refutes Bedridden Reports as Family Moves to Secure U.S. Care

Doctors say Jenny should not travel alone, so the family is pursuing an expedited tourist spousal visa for her husband to accompany her to the United States for treatment.

Overview

  • The couple posted an Instagram video on Monday denying social-media claims that Jenny was hospitalized or bedridden and asking fans to trust their direct update.
  • Jenny confirmed she speaks more slowly and needs assistance but said she can still walk and take care of herself with help from her husband.
  • Sumit said the visa process for him to enter the U.S. as Jenny’s caregiver has begun, with application fees paid and the family now awaiting a consular appointment in India.
  • The family has been fundraising to cover medical and travel costs, with their GoFundMe reported to have raised about $99,000 toward a roughly $171,700 goal.
  • Because ALS is progressive and Jenny lacks local insurance, the couple’s ability to move quickly depends on unpredictable consular scheduling and visa approval, which will affect the timing of U.S. treatment and required caregiving.
