Re: AW[1]:

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.
