Influencer Jenny Appleford, best known as Jenny Apple, recently took to social media to announce that she was living her final days. The social media personality went on a YouTube live-stream to share heartbreaking news of being hospitalized for her final moments. Along with expressing fear, she also discussed what she wished for her husband and children in the livestream. Followers have since taken to GoFundMe to extend their support.

Jenny Apple is a beloved mommy vlogger who has been sharing her journey battling lung cancer since 2021. The social media personality was diagnosed with the tumor despite being a non-smoker. In July, she told her followers she had less than a year to live. She frequently shared her journey with her followers, including her having to shave her head, health updates, and more.

The 36-year-old recently took to YouTube to speak to her followers alongside her husband, Kyle. In a 10-minute-long video titled- I’m dying, she told her followers:

“I’m actually dying right now… I’m so scared. I don’t know what to do.”

The California native’s husband explained that her breathing had “labored,” so she was put on a high-flowing oxygen machine that was only available in the hospital. Hence, Apple could not return home as she wished to.
