Greetings,

I hope you're doing well, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

My name is Tomer, and I'm the son of Noya and Itai Haviv and I'm currently serving as a soldier in the IDF in Sayeret Givati, the Givati Reconnaissance Unit.

Sayeret Givati is one of the IDF's most selective infantry units. Joining the unit requires successfully completing an intensive four-day selection process, followed by a demanding 14-month training program. The training prepares us for some of the military's most challenging missions, where we operate at the forefront of the infantry.

I currently serve as the team commander ("Samal") of Team 10, which is also the Point Team ("Hod"). Our responsibility is to lead from the front, operating ahead of the rest of the reconnaissance unit. In the coming months, I will also be committing to an additional two years of service in order to become a combat officer and lead a team of my own.

I'm reaching out because I'm raising funds to purchase a personal combat vest and ceramic ballistic plates that will serve me throughout the remainder of my mandatory service and during my reserve duty over the coming 20 years.

I'm currently 8,000 shekels (approximately $2,500) away from my goal. The funds will allow me to purchase an Agilite K-Zero SF vest, ceramic ballistic plates, and the essential equipment needed to complete the setup, including magazine pouches, an individual first-aid pouch, grenade pouches, and other mission-critical gear.

If you're able to contribute in any amount, or simply share this message with others who may be willing to help, I would be incredibly grateful. Your support will make a meaningful difference in helping me reach this goal.

If you have any questions about the equipment or how the funds will be used, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you so much for your interest and support.

Tomer Haviv
