Sela Elfasi, a reservist who served hundreds of days in the current war, announced a crowdfunding campaign in its final hours Thursday, citing a cancer diagnosis and mounting financial difficulties. The campaign, hosted on the Givechak platform, aims to prevent the loss of his family home in the kibbutz where he grew up. Elfasi wrote that he and his wife, Eden, are fighting to keep the home they dreamed of building for their two children.
