If you have any old portable oven and in case you don't use it anymore,
we will be very grateful to you if you can donate it to us and organize
transport of this oven to our address (200km from Moscow). This ovens
are different, usually they made from cast iron.

Dear Elena. Thanks for your kind letter. I'm sorry your are in such a bad situation. Good news: I think I can help you. I have a wood burning oven I could give you. We have central heating and we don't need it as much as you do. It is a JOTUL-brand cast iron oven, 50+ years old but very good quality. It just needs some scrubbing, that's all. I don't know it's exact weight, but it's much too heavy to be sent through the mail. But don't worry. I attend the local Russian Orthodox church and I know many people from Russia who will know how to get the oven to Moscow. Warm wishes. Teresa.

Wahrscheinlich ist bei Elena zuhause der Router bereits eingefroren.

Elena hat geschrieben:Hi,

My name is Elena, I'm 32 year and I applying to you from Russia. I works in local library and I provided to use computer afterwards work if possible. Our situation is very hard and I send you this letter in despair and hope.

I have daughter Angelina, she has 8 years, her father leaved us and we live together with my mother.

As outcome of serios crisis recently my mother losed job (a bakery where she used to work has been bankruptcy) and our position became frightful.

Prices for gas and electricity is very high in our town and we unable afford to use it for heating our home anymore.

It is very cold already in our region and weather becomes colder each day. We are very worried and we can not imagine what to do.

The only way for us to heat our home is to use conveyable wood-firing oven which supply with heating from burning wood. We have enough wood in our administrative district and this oven will heat our house during all winter for minimal charges.

We urgent need this oven, but we cannot purchase it in our city because it price 8177 ruble (equivalent of 191 Euro) and we can not afford it.

If you have any old conveyable wood burn oven and if you stoped to use it, we will be very happily if you can donation it for us and prepare send this oven to our house (160 km from capital of Russia). This ovens can be different , they can be made from cast iron and weight 100 - 150kg.

I expect what you will write me back.

Elena with my family.
Russia
