For nearly 1,000 days, Nati repeatedly left his wife, his four children, and the security of home to answer Israel’s call to reserve duty. Each time he was needed, he put on his uniform and returned to the front lines, never asking how long it would last and never seeking excuses or special treatment. For Nati, the principle was simple: when his country calls, he shows up.
But while he was fighting to protect the homes of others, the life he had spent years building was quietly unraveling. By the time he returned, he was facing a new battle-one that now threatens the future of his own family.

Before the war, Nati founded an innovative construction company based on MMC-Modern Methods of Construction-an advanced building system designed to dramatically reduce construction time and make quality housing more accessible to Israeli families. He devoted years to bringing that vision to life: studying the technology, assembling a professional team, building a manufacturing facility, and investing millions of dollars to introduce the system to Israel.
Then came October 7.
Like thousands of reservists, Nati dropped everything and reported for duty. While he was risking his life in defense of the country, the business he had worked so hard to establish began to collapse. International partners withdrew, operations came to a standstill, and the dream he had invested years of effort and millions of dollars in began to fall apart.
Faced with mounting losses, many people might have chosen to file for bankruptcy and walk away. Nati refused to do so.

Instead, he took responsibility for every commitment he had made. He sold equipment, sold personal assets, and invested everything he could to repay creditors and honor his obligations. Even after sacrificing nearly everything, however, significant debts remain, placing his family’s future at risk.
The home where Nati lives with his wife and their four children is now almost all they have left.
For those who served beside him, his response came as no surprise. They describe Nati as the first to volunteer, the first to answer the call, and the last person who would ever ask others for help.
“There were times I told him, ‘You have a family at home-maybe sit this one out.’ But to him, that was never an option," one of his fellow reservists recalls. “When Israel needed him, he showed up. Now he needs us."
That is why this appeal is not coming from Nati himself. It comes from the friends who fought alongside him, witnessed the price he paid, and refuse to let him face this battle alone.

Together, they launched “Nati’s Battle," a crowdfunding campaign intended to help him stabilize his financial situation, fulfill his commitments, and protect the home where he and his wife are raising their children.
The campaign is about more than financial assistance. It is an opportunity to stand behind someone who never hesitated to stand for others. For nearly 1,000 days, Nati put his family, his livelihood, and his own security aside to serve his country. He did so without asking what it might cost him and without expecting anything in return.
There are moments when gratitude must be expressed not only in words, but through action. This is one of those moments.
Nati fought to protect all of our homes. Now he needs our help protecting his.
