Hi everyone, my name is Jeff Okoro and as some may know. I’m a medical student working to reach the next milestone in my training: preparing for the USMLE Step 1 exam. This exam is a huge part of becoming a doctor, and right now, I need support to stay on track.

Over the past few years, I’ve faced setbacks — from health challenges and surgery to financial strain — but I’ve stayed committed to finishing medical school. At the moment, my biggest challenges are covering rent and affording the expenses that come with Step 1 preparation.

I’m raising $1,200 to help with these immediate needs. Having this support would allow me to focus fully on studying and succeeding on this critical exam, without the constant stress of housing insecurity.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Thank you so much for supporting my journey— your kindness helps keep me moving forward.
