A reservist soldier, who says he served nearly 1,000 days of reserve duty since the war began, posted a public appeal for financial help. He says his business collapsed, he sold most of his assets, and he is now struggling to keep his family home. 'I never asked for help for myself,' he wrote.
A reservist soldier identified only by his first name, Nati, posted a personal appeal on Wednesday evening, describing his financial collapse after nearly 1,000 days of reserve duty since the war began. He wrote that he left his wife and four children repeatedly to serve, and during that time his business failed. He says he sold almost all his assets to repay debts and is now fighting to keep his family home. The post includes a link to a fundraising campaign.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, several reservists have turned to public fundraising after accumulating significant debts during extended reserve service. A reservist business owner who served 530 days appealed for help in June, and a reserve officer with severe PTSD also launched a campaign after his business closed. These cases highlight the economic toll of prolonged military service on reservists and their families.
