National Football Captain Sabitra Bhandari Samba Raises Nearly NPR 15 Million for Knee Surgery in 24 Hours

Kathmandu. National Women's Football Team Captain Sabitra Bhandari Samba has announced that nearly NPR 15 million has been collected for her treatment.

Within 24 hours of the public appeal, more than NPR 10 million was deposited in her Nepali bank account, and NPR 4.5 million (52 thousand New Zealand Dollars) was deposited in foreign platforms.

Overwhelmed by the support in such a short time, she stated on social media on Tuesday, "Today, the word thank you feels very small. I cannot describe in words the support, trust, and love I have received for my treatment in the last 24 hours. Financially, you all have managed the expenses for my treatment, and the support and assurance I received have made me even stronger. With this energy, I will put 100% effort into my surgery and rehabilitation."

She also mentioned that she realized the greatest asset she has earned as a player is not money or titles, but this love, trust, and support.

Stating that enough funds for her treatment have been gathered, she has requested people to stop contributing to both accounts starting today. She is preparing for treatment in Qatar for a serious knee injury.
