<div>My name is Sven, and my daughter Grace is my world.
</div>
<div>She is my reason to keep going when everything else has fallen away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The past year has been one of the hardest of my life. A painful separation, repeated job loss, and the collapse of stability forced me to rebuild from nothing. This came on top of a serious accident in 2021 and extensive spinal surgery, leaving me living daily with Cauda Equina Syndrome and Functional Neurological Disorder. These conditions make traditional, full-time work unpredictable and, at times, impossible. I lost my job three times this year alone—not because of a lack of skill or drive, but because my body could no longer keep up with rigid systems.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite this, every day I choose consistency, calm, and presence for Grace. I focus on giving her safety, routine, and the reassurance that her dad is still here—still building.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What I’m rebuilding toward isn’t just survival.
</div>
<div>It’s independence with dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m restarting my career as a design engineer, working from home where my health can be managed sustainably. Design is what I know. It’s what I’ve spent years developing, refining, and mastering. Even on an old, borrowed laptop, I’ve been able to rebuild my vision piece by piece.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those who believe in “seeing is believing,” you can already see what I’m capable of here:
</div>
<div> <a href="https://gekosdesignstudio.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://gekosdesignstudio.com/</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That work was created under severe limitations.
</div>
<div>Now imagine what could be built with a modern, reliable workstation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser exists to bridge that gap.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support helps me:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rebuild reliable income and regain independence
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Create long-term stability for Grace
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Build a home where she has her own room, her own space
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Launch Gekos Design Studio, a studio focused on high-end web design, cinematic branding, digital art, and psychologically intentional design
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds will be used for:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A capable computer that can handle professional creative work
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Essential design and development software
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Startup and hosting costs for the business
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A small buffer for living essentials while income stabilises
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution—£5, £10, £20, or any amount—becomes part of Grace’s foundation. She often asks why we don’t have a home together yet. With your help, I can honestly say, “We’re building toward it.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if donating isn’t possible, your support still matters.
</div>
<div>If you have spare or unused computer parts, or even a workstation that could be passed on, I would be deeply grateful. I’m willing to build what I can with what’s available.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sharing this story, following the journey, or simply believing in what’s being built here—all of it helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re not asking for charity.
</div>
<div>We’re asking for a chance to turn proven ability into stability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading. Thank you for believing.
</div>
<div>And thank you for being part of this rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sven
</div>
