She shared the 'Give a Little' link on social media on Monday for those wishing to contribute from overseas, as per her formal appeal. As of the time this news was prepared on Tuesday, NZD 47,253 had been received through that website, which is equivalent to over NPR 4.1 million at today's exchange rate. This aid was contributed by 1,112 individuals.
She has set a fundraising target of NZD 135,000 through the website.
Following Samba's appeal, fundraising is also underway within Nepal. The Nepali Congress has also contributed NPR 500,000 through the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA). Aid appeals are also being made through various organizations and individuals.
She is currently preparing for treatment due to a serious knee injury. However, she made a public appeal for assistance after alleging that ANFA had not provided any support.
