In a powerful display of compassion and community support, the Thx22 Foundation, the charitable arm of 22Bet, has stepped in to provide vital financial assistance to Martin Nsubuga, widely known as Nabutono, who is currently fighting for his life against tetanus.

This generous contribution has brought renewed hope to both Nabutono and his family as they navigate this challenging time.

Nsubuga, a talented footballer, has showcased his skills in the Buganda Masaza Football Cup, representing Buwekula and Buddu in the prestigious competition. 

Known for his passion and dedication, his sudden health crisis has been a heartbreaking turn of events for his family, teammates, and fans.

Tetanus, a severe bacterial infection that causes painful muscle contractions and can be fatal, has left Nabutono in critical condition, requiring intensive medical care. 

The costs of his treatment have placed a heavy financial strain on his family, who have been doing everything possible to support his recovery.

Thx22 Foundation Steps In

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Thx22 Foundation stepped forward with a generous donation of UGX 21 million on February 25th, 2025 to help cover Nabutono’s medical expenses at Rosewell Children and Women’s Hospital in Kampala.

This lifeline of financial support has allowed the family to focus more on his recovery rather than the mounting medical bills. 

The donation reflects Thx22 Foundation’s commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals facing hardship in Uganda.

Speaking about the donation, Collins Bongomin, Head of Marketing at 22Bet Uganda, expressed the Foundation’s deep empathy for Nabutono’s situation and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting those in need.

“At Thx22, we believe that every life is valuable and important. We are deeply moved by Martin’s situation and want to provide immediate support to his family.”

“This contribution is meant to ease their financial burden so they can focus on what truly matters – Martin’s recovery. We also encourage other well-wishers to join us in supporting him through this difficult journey.”

The donation handover took place at Rosewell Hospital in the presence of Nabutono’s family, including his brother Umar Ssekandi, his wife, and his mother.

Expressing their gratitude, Umar Ssekandi shared an emotional message on behalf of the family:

“We are overwhelmed by the support from Thx22 Foundation. It has given us the strength to keep fighting for Martin’s life. We are grateful beyond words.”

Thx22 Foundation’s support is not just a one-time act of kindness, it is an inspiration for others to step in and make a difference. 

The Foundation has urged businesses, organizations, and individuals to join hands in supporting Nabutono’s recovery.

“Every act of kindness counts, and we hope this gesture encourages others to lend their support. Together, we can help save a life and make a lasting difference,” Bongomin emphasized.
