“I am coming back home to sit for my Form Four exams while continuing with my medication. I pray that God will help me pass my exams, heal me completely, and help me overcome every challenge I am facing. With God by my side, I believe I will make it,” Risper wrote.
Even in the face of pain and uncertainty, Risper continues to show courage, faith and determination, In a Facebook post, she said is determined and has faith she will do her KCSE 2026 well.
Her condition deteriorated to a point where she was taken to India for further treatment. In August 2026, she received her planned treatment drug therapy rather than surgery.
She is expected to begin her national examinations on October 28, before the main theory set for November.
