Alle Jahre wieder bittet Valentin um Spenden
Date: 15 Nov 2004 11:10:25 +0300 Subject: Request from Russia From: "Valentin" <vmik@students.ru> Dear Friend, Please excuse me for any inconvience caused by this message. My name is Valentin. I'm a student and I live with my mother in the city of Kaluga, Russia. My mother is invalid. She cannot see and she receives pension from the government very rare which is not enough even for medications. I work very hard every day to be able to take care of my mother, but my salary is very small, because my studies still not finished. Due to the crisis our authorities recently stoped gas in our district and now we cannot heat our home. I don't know what to do, because the winter is coming and the temperature in the street can be lower than minus 20 degrees Celsius. I'm very afraid that the temperature inside our home can be very cold and we will not be able to survive. Thanks to the free internet access at our local library I was able to find several e-mail addresses, including yours, while browsing different websites and I decided to appeal to you with a prayer in my heart for a small help. If you have any old electric heater, warm clothes, high-calories food, vitamins, medicines from cold weather, any hygiene-products, I will be very grateful to you if you could send it to our postal address which is: Valentin Mihaylin, Ryleeva Ulitsa, 6-45. Kaluga. 248030, Russia. If you think that it would be better or easier for you to help with some money, please write me back and I will give you details for sending it safely if you agree. This way to help is very good because the necessities here are not very expensive. I hope to hear from you very soon and I pray that you will be able to help us to survive this winter. I also hope very much that this hard situation will get better very soon in our country. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2005. I'm sending to you many thanks in advance for your kind understanding. Please excuse me, once more, for any inconvience I could cause you by sending this message. Valentin and my mother Elena. Kaluga. Russia.
