Vi har fått en mail fra en dame i Russland. Hun heter Elena og har det slett ikke greit. Vi er blitt vant med merkelige brev fra de mørkere hjørner av verden, men akkurat dette brevet fikk oss til å stusse. Er dette et kynisk forsøk på å hustle norske kroner, eller er det en genuin bønn om hjelp og støtte? Uansett, vi har ikke redigert noe i den
uhyrlig sterke teksten, men vi har tatt oss friheten til å legge ved noen bilder fra assosiasjonsveven. Les og gråt.
I finded your address in internet and I decided to write you this letter.
I have 7-year daughter Angelina, her father abandoned us and we live with my mother.
Due to the crisis recently my mother lost job and our situation became very difficult.
The price for heating our home is very high and we cannot afford it anymore.
The winter is coming and weather is colder each day. We worry if the
temperature will become cold in our home, we don’t know how to survive.
For heating our home we need portable stove which give heat from
burning wood. We have many wood in our region, but we cannot buy the
stove in local market because it cost equivalent of 193 Euro and very
expensive for us.
If you have any old portable wood burning
stove, we will be very happy if you can donate it to us and organize
transport of its to our address (200km from Moscow) or help us to buy
it in our local market.
This oven are different, they are from cast iron and weight 100-150kg.
I hope that you answer me and I pray that our situation will become better in the New Year.
Elena.
