| Hello, My name is Elena and I live in small city in Russia. I have small daughter but husband left us a few years ago. Due to deep crisis recently I losted job and can not pay the heating bills for our home anymore. I finded your address at website and I write you from a public library. We urgent need heating because winter arriving and the temperature in our home is very cold. We can heat our home with a portable woodburner, but we unable buy it because it cost too much for us. If you own any old transportable woodburner from cast iron which you don't use anymore, I pray you can gift to us and transport of it to us. I hope for your answer. Elena. |
Now ... "send me money" I could understand, but my mind boggles at the idea of shipping a cast iron woodburining stove to Russia ... or indeed at the idea of tens and dozens and score of them all turning up in some small City in the Urals or Siberia.
