Alle Jahre wieder bittet Valentin um Spenden
November
Subject: AW: [3]: (04-Nov-2008 16:04) From: valenmik@eposta.ru Hello, My name is Valentin. I'm 26 years old and I live with my mother in Russia. My mother cannot see and her indemnity is not enough even for food and medications. Due to the deep crisis in our country recently I lost my job and our situation became very difficult. Now I finded a new job, I work very hard but I was told that this work will be only for a couple of weeks. The price for gas is very high in our region and we cannot use it for heating our home anymore. I don't know what to do, because the winter is coming and the weather is very cold here already. I finded several e-mail addreses and thanks to free internet access in our local library I decided to appeal to you for help. If you have two old sleeping bags, warm clothes, electric water-boiler, canned and dried food, vitamins, medicines from cold, hygiene-products, I will be very grateful if you can send it to our address: Valentin Mikhailin, Ryleeva Ulitsa, 6-45. Kaluga. 248030, Russia. The only way for us to heat our home during winter is to use a portable wood burning stove from cast iron which give heat from burning wood, but we cannot buy it in a local shop because it is expensive for us. I hope to receive your answer. I also hope that this hard situation will get better very soon. Valentin. Russia.
