where to begain... i guess ill start with my story. My mom and dad never got married. While my mom was having some personal problems i was almost sent to a foster home until my grandmother desiced to take care of me. My grandmother is an amazing person but it was hard for her to provide for me. At 10, my dad left and that was the last time i saw him. I have had a wonderful loving life and ive been very lucky, but now that im in college trying to be the 1st one in my family with a college education its been hard. I pay for all my bills myself, rent, water and trash, elec, car payments, etc. I've been making it just fine being a waitress full time and going to school full time but now my car is about to break down.. i get money though pells grants to help pay for college and the left over money goes to my savings account for my car. Money is just getting tight. This isnt a story to make you feel sorry for me but yet a story that i hope will affected someone, and that someone will know another way i could get another grant to help pay for my car and living expences. Please.. help. its so hard right now.
do you or anyone know any ways i can get money for school? or just to help out??

love always,
merry xmas

Ellen Happy Holidays....You touch people on such an equal level and cheer people in your style. I love the dancing too. I watch you and your show as it really seems like real issues and real down to earth and you can make a smile on anyones face. I would love to see your show but being stuck here in Oregon wont get to see you. But if we could come see you my daughter and I we would love it since we have lost a child my son at age 25 before Christmas last year and now my grandbabies mother shot herself and took a bunch of pills so now we are sad and the boys have to go through this all over again. She did live and now will have to go under alot of help for self inflecting a shot with the gun to the head. So my daughter and I wish to pray for her and those little boys and would love to spend with you and enjoy what life has to offer not what it doesn't offer. So have a happy holiday and maybe you can help by saying a prayer for us all. Thank you Ellen and again Have a Happy Holiday.

Ellen,
I just love your show, it gives me a boost to my days, I am a 45 mother of 4 with the youngest being only 8 years old, I have been dealing with CANCER for 3 years now, it's been a battle not working and doing what little I can to take care of my family at this time, your show puts a smile on my face daily and breifly takes me away from my current health issue.

Thanks again,
Linda

Merry Christmas Keep up the good entertainment you have on your show,we watch you everyday. Just haven't figured out yet how to win a prize or get on the show. but I won't give up !!!!My daughter will also be the BIG 50 next year.

Dear Ellen,
I think you have a loving heart and I am glad such a nice person is on tv. You bring a lot of joy, fun and interesting people on your show. I would like to see a show on PEOPLE THAT SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS THAT SOME HOW DON'T GET THE HELP THEY NEED. My daughter, my son, and myself have had brain/head injuries and we have been dealing with it on our own. If a person sounds articulate, people assume that you are ok or that you can take care of getting the help that you need by yourself. For example, my daughter is in her 20's and got a serious head injury which actually makes it harder for her to even realize that she needs help. This is a very frustrating and serious and sad situation. I have a serious brain injury too and even tho I try to help us, I seem to not meet my goal. We were rear-ended by a bob-tail or boxtail truck and it has been a traumatic experience with life changing results. WE NEED HELP but aren't getting it. But, besides the individual with the brain injury having to deal with the injuries and how it's affecting their life, their loved ones too are greatly affected. Simple things and abilities that we take for granted, have been lessened or taken away from us. It affects our marriage and family life, our finances, our health, our home, our outside relationships and just living and trying to take care of things on a daily basis and dealing with the emotions of not meeting up to the abilities of your old self. When I get better, I want to start some agency for those who have fallen through the cracks, that are forgotten or neglected. I even forgot I left a car at the repair shop over a year ago and I doubt that it is even there. My daughter used to have such potential and I want to get her help so that she can regain her hope and promising future. Please email me your suggestions if you read this.
