[helix-maintainers] I wish you a Merry Christmas

[Valentin]

Dear Friends,

Please excuse me for this letter.
 
My name is Valentin. I'm student and I live with my mother in a small town Kaluga, Russia. My mother cannot see and she receive pension very rare which is not enought even for medications.
 
I work very hard every day to be able to buy necessities for my mother, but my salary is very small, because my studies still not finished.
 
Due to deep crisis authorities stoped gas in our district and now we cannot heat our home.

Right now the weather is unusually warm, but the radio says it will become very cold in January and February.

I am very afraid that the temperature inside our home will become very cold and we will not be able to survive.
 
Therefore I finded several e-mail addresses and thank to the free internet access in our local library I decided to appeal to you with prayer in my heart for small help.
 
If you have any old sleping bag, warm blanket, electric heater, 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 Mikhailin,
Rileeva Str, 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 to my email vamika at nextmail.ru  and I will write you how to send it safely, if you agree. 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 region very soon. 

>From all my heart I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish that the New Year will bring hapiness in your family and all your dreams come true.
 
Valentin and my mother Elena.
Kaluga. Russia.

P.S. You can write me a reply by e-mail to vamika at nextmail.ru but sometimes it does not work. Then you can send a letter to our home post address which I wrote above.
In this case please send your letter by registered mail, otherwise it will never reach us because the Russian post is corrupt.
