Hello Ellen,
My name is Candice Cox; I am a 27 year old African American Therapist with a huge heart and small pocket book. I moved to Newport, AR from St. Louis, MO in September of 2008 with my husband, and 3 year old daughter to provide my services to a community in need as I have 9 years experience working with children and families. Since being here I have realized that this community is depressed as a whole. The children are being jailed, expelled, and placed on house arrest for non violent crimes caused within the schools on a daily basis. Many children do not leave the area or graduate from high school due to being buried under generational barriers of their families. The only options for entertainment are the bowling alley that is only open a few hours a day and the skating rink open only on the weekend. There aren’t many services geared toward introducing and implementing life or parenting skills but they are needed as children are products of their environment.
Since being here I have partnered with the Branch Community center, a 501 (c)3 non-profit, and we have been working toward obtaining money to rehab their 137,000 sq ft building to create a community center filled with services and resources. The building, located in "the hood" was quick deeded to the organization 5 years ago and has been operating on personal money and small donations. This building is not acceptable to put children or adults in as it has not been updated since it closed in 1970 due to integration, it served as the school for minority children in Newport. We have received shut off notices for several of our bills and are scrapping to provide basic supplies for the community members who do attend the facility. Please help. I have lost two jobs for unknown reasons due to people within the community feeling that I am trying to cause a problem. I am not violent, aggressive, or a threat, I just see a need and state the facts. Because of my passion and dedication to root for the underdog, I have been told that my upfront and honest personality is considered disrespectful in the south. I cannot turn a blind eye and remain silent when I know that there is blatant classicism and some racism that continues to drive decision in this town.
My heart breaks to see the children here as they do not dream to be doctors, lawyers, artist, or even employees. They strive to be baby mommas, drug dealers, inmates, sexual partners, and thugs. I don't feel that it is fair for anyone to live under these conditions as everyone’s life is important and valuable. The parents feel helpless as they lack the basic parenting skills to raise their children, the basic life skills to reach beyond their walls, and the appropriate mental health care to handle the emotional instability within their lives. The people suffering here are of all races but sadly the minorities are suffering the worse as they feel they are only deserving of what they have. Please help me help them. I am at the point where I feel that I will have to leave to make sure my child receives the education, resources, and life that she deserves if things don't change here.
Please look at the link http://sites.google.com/site/amarisinspirationsllc/ under Branch Community Center to get a look at the place where the poor kids are expected to go. If you look at the building and feel that it is up to par for your child, someone in your family, or someone in your community, please disregard this letter. If you wonder how anyone, especially people in a position to implement change, can think that these things are acceptable for any human being please contact me with resources, encouragement, support, etc. I don't know what else to do. I am excited about the things to come but I know we need more support to change the mindset and movement of a community.
I wrote to you because you are a person who looks at the value of every individual and I know that you are aware of the issues that are plaguing our children, especially in the small rural areas. Please help. Thank you for your time, I hope to hear from you in the future. My email address is amarisinspirationsllc@gmail.com , the Branch Community Center email is branchcommunitycenter@hotmail.com.

Hey Ellen,
Recently my best friend (Kat Papadopoulos) and I have lost our jobs at Moores Clothing for Men. It's been really difficult to find a job considering the circumstances of our economy. Now seeing that I am broke as a joke,I am unable to purchase tickets. I would love for her to be able to attend the Ellen Show because every day after school while watching your show, she subtly reminds me of how much she would love to be in the audience. Kat is the most wonderful friend I could ask for. She has stood by me for every step of my life during the last 5 years and most importantly she has supported my dreams. Could you please help me out?!
Sincerely,
Lana Domoslai
Hey Josie,(and of course Ellen or staff of Ellen)
I hear ya on that one!! I have sent numerous emails, animal info regarding the need for more help with Cancer research and recovery facilities, I have requested tickets and so on.... not even an acknowledgment back. Or even a "shout out!"
Oh well, c'est la vie, right?
Good Luck to you , may your quest come true :) !
Jill

Dear Ellen,
I just got finished emailing your show! I am 23 years old. I am a big fan of yours too and when I am having a bad day I watch your show and it makes me laugh so hard that I forget my worries(no really!) My mom is a fan of yours too. We love your sense of humour and it brings us closer. I don't know anyone who is as funny as you. You're great. I would love to be in your audience seeing as I have watched the show for a while but I'm worried that I won't be able to cause I live all the way in Jacksonville Florida. What could I do to be on the show? Email me if ya can find the time. That would be greatly appreciated. I realize I am one of many. Sincerely, Alex Blacka
