Fundraiser to buy Eilish a steel sword for HEMA fencing
Wellington
Hello friends of Eilish!
Ever since I have known her Eilish has not stopped talking about how much she wishes she owned a steel sword for her favourite hobby: HEMA. (like seriously she talks about it almost every day)
With her 30th coming up I thought maybe we can make this dream come true. So if you were wanting to get her a present but couldn't think of anything then here's an easy solution!
the sword is looking to be around $900 including shipping, and then associated safety gear will also be several hundred on top of that. Which is kinda crazy but also why I'm wanting to do this for her because that would be a really hard thing for her to be able to afford on her own. :) anything over the cost of the sword will go towards getting her the safety gear needed to use it like a helmet jacket and gauntlets
(**UPDATE** the cost of the sword has already been funded through generous direct donations outside of givealittle! so the stetch goal of jacket helmet and gauntlets has been activated!)
Unfortunately shipping times on swords from Europe are ridic so it wont be ready in time for her birthday but I'll try to make a big replica sword to present to her at the party with the names of everyone who contributed so she knows who to thank. Any amount would be appreciated!
A steel training longsword (federschwert) and associated safety gear (jacket, gauntlets, gorget, helmet)
