Re:

 Hi,

My name is Valentin. I'm student and I live with my mother in small Russian town. 

During last months prices for gas, oil and electricity became very high and we cannot use it to heat our home anymore. We have winter, many snow and temperature is very cold here already. The radio say it will be up to minus 30 degrees in the near weeks. We do not know what to do and we very afraid.

The only way to heat our home is to use portable stove because it give heat with burning wood. We have many wood in our region and this stove will heat our home all winter with minimal charges. But we cannot buy this stove in our market because it expensive for us. My salary is very small because my studies still not finished and indemnity of my mother is also very little.

Thanks to free internet in our local library and library computer I finded several addreses and decided to appeal to you for help. May be you have any old sleeping bag, warm blanket or any other things which can keep us in warm, I will be very grateful to you if you donate it for us and send its to our address.

Ulica Truda 24-8

I thank you so much for help. 

God Bless You.

Valentin and my mother Elena.
