A reservist soldier and small business owner, who served 530 days since the war began, publicly appealed for financial help after accumulating debts of about 1 million shekels. He says he used his company's resources and personal funds to transport equipment and food for troops, including buying ceramic vests, while serving in reserves.
A reservist soldier named Shalom, who served 530 days since the war began, shared a personal appeal describing severe financial distress. He wrote that his small business is collapsing under debts of about 1 million shekels, largely because he used company assets and his own money to support troops — transporting supplies and purchasing ceramic vests that were in short supply — all while himself serving in reserves. He expressed shame at needing to ask for help, calling his situation 'broken.' His phone number was listed for donations via Bit and Paybox, and he mentioned a group. No further details about the fundraising campaign or its official status were available. The appeal is a single account, not independently verified at this stage.
