Co-founder of Give A Little JD Trask on Phoenix star's international surgery fund

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

Phoenix striker and Nepalese football star Sabitra Bhandari, also known as Samba, has raised over $57,000 NZD for a surgery. After tearing her ACL, Samba wants $135,000 NZD treatment in Qatar, where she went to previously.  The Phoenix insurance policy has offered 25,000 surgery and rehab in NZ, and the Nepalese governing body is contributing $6,000 NZD.  Nick speaks with co-founder of Give A Little JD Trask on the purpose of the app, and if this cause is over the line in what is expected from the app. Since this interview Samba has requested supporters stop donating as she has reached her the amount needed.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
