Hi! My name is Dina and I’m graduating with a degree in Computer Science — and naturally, I celebrated by taking graduation photos with my leopard gecko (yes, she wore a little cap too).

The behind-the-scenes video of our shoot went viral (4 million+ likes on TikTok and counting!), and now everyone is asking to see the final photos… but there’s a catch. The studio charges $280 just to release the unedited digital images.

As a first-generation college graduate, I’ve already had to climb so many financial mountains to get to this point, and $280 for pictures is just a little more than I can swing right now. That’s where you come in.

If you enjoyed the video, laughed, smiled, or just want to support a broke but grateful grad, I’d be forever thankful for any contribution. Your donation will go directly toward unlocking these photos (and maybe getting a couple printed for my grandma and my gecko’s fan club).

If I hit the goal, I’ll do a full reveal and frame the best one — plus shout out every donor with a heart as big as this moment.

Thank you for supporting my silly, heartfelt, gecko-filled dream.

With love and leopard spots,

Dinasty (& Phoenix, the gecko)
