[Valentin]

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 city Kaluga, Russia. My mother is invalid. She cannot see and she receive a very small pension which is not enough even for medications and food.
 
I work very hard every day to be able to buy the necessities for my mother, but my salary is very small, because my studies still not finished.
 
Due to deep crisis authorities stoped gas supply in our district and we cannot heat our home anymore. I don't know what to do, because the weather will be very cold in the next months and the temperature outside can be lower than minus 45 degrees Celsius, as it was in the last winter. 
 
I am very afraid that the temperature inside our home can be very cold and we will not be able to survive. I don't know what I can do in this situation. Thanks to the free internet access in our college library I found several e-mail addresses and I decided to appeal to you with a prayer in my heart for a small help. 
 
If you have any old sleeping bag, warm blanket, portable stove, warm clothes and shoes, electric water-boiler, canned and dried food, vitamins, medicines from cold, any hygiene-products, I will be very grateful to you if you could send it to our postal address which is:
 
Valentin Mikhailine,
Rileewa Uliza, 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 in this case I will be able to buy a portable stove and heat our home during the winter.
 
I hope to hear from you very soon and I thank you in advance for any possible help.

I also hope very much that this hard situation will get better very soon.

Valentin and my mother Elena.
Kaluga. Russia.
