“90 Day Fiancé” star Sarper Güven appears alongside Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh in season 3 of “90 Day: The Last Resort.” After getting to know Jenny, Sarper was moved by news in May of her devastating ALS diagnosis. He decided to do something about it.
GettyWhile starring with Shekinah on the TLC spinoff, Sarper has revealed on July 1 that he is supporting his fellow cast mate, Jenny Slatten, with her health journey. Jenny had announced in May that she had been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 68.
After he heard news of her diagnosis, Sarper has acknowledged that Jenny “needs our help as soon as possible.” He announced his plans to help Jenny as she goes through treatment for her diagnosis.
Güven announced that all the proceeds he earns from his July 21-22 New York City comedy shows will go towards Jenny’s ALS treatment.

Jenny Slatten & Her ALS Diagnosis
Some weeks ago, Jenny and Sumit updated fans to reveal that Slatten, 68, has been diagnosed with ALS. The neurological disease affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement.
In recent news, Jenny posted an Instagram video with her husband, Sumit Singh, to update fans on her condition. She also addressed questions about a GoFundMe campaign that has been launched to help cover her medical costs.
Jenny and Sumit had shared with their followers that she has no health insurance in India. Due to this, the help from Sarper and from followers through the GoFundMe is gratefully received.
“90 Day: The Last Resort,” Season 3 airs on Mondays at 8/7c, TLC.
