From Russia with love:

Vi modtog denne mail fra bibliotekaren Elena, der virkelig står og mangler en ovn. Vi føler ikke selv at vi er i stand til at sende en jern-ovn til Rusland, så derfor offentliggør vi nu brevet her på bloggen i håb om at nogen af jer vil hjælpe stakkels Elena og hendes lille baby, Anghelina:

Salutation,

My name is Elena, I am 32 years old and I writing you from Russia. I works in local library and I allowed to use computer afterward work when possible. Our situation is very hard and I decide write to you this message in despair.

I have a daughter Anghelina, she have 8 years, her father abandoned us and we inhabit with my mother.

As outcome of serios crisis recently my mother losed job (the shop where she used to work has been ruined) and our situation became dreadful.

Gas and electricity cost a lot in our province and we unable use it to heat our home any more.

Winter is get in and weather becoming colder every day. We very distressed and we can not suppose what to do.

The only possible way for us to heat our home is to use moveable wood-firing oven which provide heat from burning wood. We have sufficiency wood in our province and this oven will provide heat for our domicile entire winter for minimal charges.

We urgently in need of this oven, but we cannot purchase it in our city since it cost 8170 rouble (equivalent of 191 Euro) and we cannot afford it.

If you possess any old transferable wood burn oven and if you do not use it anymore, we will be very (2900) happiness if you can donate it for us and organize shipping this oven to our home (180 km from Russian capital). That oven are different, they constructed from cast-iron and weight 100 kg.

I hope to hear from you back.

Elena with family.
