Quick cry for immediate help

Dear Friend,
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 enough 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 stopped 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 temperature becomes colder each day.
I am very afraid that the temperature inside our home will become very cold and we will not be able to survive.
Therefore I found 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 sleeping bag, warm blanket, electric heater, warm clothes, warm socks and shoes, 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,
Ryileeva, 6-45.
Kaluga. 248000,
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 vamikal@nextmail.ru and I will give you details for sending 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 region very soon.
From all my heart I wish you a Happy New Year 2007. I wish that the New Year will bring happiness in your family and all your dreams come true.
Valentin and my mother Elena.
Kaluga. Russia.
