Dear Friend,
I send you this message from a library of our small city and I hope very much that this message has reached your address.
My name is Valentin, I'm a student and I live with my blind mother in Russia. I work very hard every day to be able to take care of my mother, but my salary is very small because my studies are not finished.
Due to the crisis our authorities stoped gas in our village and now I cook food for my mother and me by making a fire near our home. Now we cannot heat our home because we don't have gas anymore and I don't know what to do, because the winter is coming and the temperature outside will be minus 30 degrees Celsius. I'm afraid that the temperature inside our home can be lower than 0 degrees and we will not be able to survive.
Therefore I send you this desperate message with a prayer in my heart and I hope you can help us. If you have any old warm blankets, sleeping bags, portable heater or any other things which can help us during the winter, as well as any high-calories food-stuffs, I will be very grateful to you if you could send it to our postal address which is:
Valentin Mihailin,
Ryleeva Street, 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 the details for sending it safely if you agree. This way to help is very good because the necessities here are not very expensive.
I pray to hear from you soon. From all my heart I wish you Happiness, Love and Peace.
God Bless You,
Valentin and my Mother Elena.
Kaluga. Russia.

Dear Friend,
Please excuse me for inconvience cause by this message.
My name is Valentin. I'm student and I live with my mother in city Kaluga, Russia, located 200km from Moscow. My mother is invalid. She cannot see and she receive pension from government very rare which is not enought even for medications.
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 the deep crisis in our country, the authorities 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 weather will be very cold. I am very afraid that the temperature inside our home will be very cold and we will not be able to survive.
Therefore I collected several e-mail addresses and thanks to the free internet access at our local library I decided to appeal to you with prayer in my heart for small help. If you have any old sleeping bag, warm blanket, electric heater, warm clothes, 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 Mikhayline,

If you think that it would be better or easier for you to help with some money, please write me back I will provide you with details how to send 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 pray that you can help us. I also hope very much that this hard situation will become better in our country very soon.
From all my heart, I wish you all the best. I wish that all your dreams come true and your life will be full of hapiness.
God Bless You,
