"It has not been easy since primary and even high school. The far that I have reached I still thank the Almighty God and I pray that I may get well-wishers to help me pursue my career and give back to the society," she said.

According to her former Asumbi Principal, Isaboke was needy all through her high school and she had to pay for her fees right from Form Two as in Form One, one parent volunteered to clear her arrears.

Her mother Annah Kwamboka noted, she and her husband cannot afford to pay for their daughter's undergraduate studies due to their poverty-stricken life.

"I appeal to well-wishers to come to my daughter's aid so that she can achieve her dreams," she said.
