Hi Ellen
My name is Christy I live in North Carolina. It is crazy how many people on here that are asking for a car. Well anyways I am one of them..haha. I am 24 years old and I have been with my girlfriend now for 4 years. Things have been a little tough the past year. I recently got custody of my 11 and 13 year old brothers due to our mothers crack and alcohol addiction and their farthers life imprisonment. I work full time and go to school full time so it is a challenge. If I knew where to send you a picture of my car I would..It is falling apart. Its a 99 green volkswagon beetle and the only thing holding the bumper on is lime green duck tape. My window motor went out so when it rains we get really wet. Its about to go out on us but I cannot buy a car when I am so far in debt. My girlfriend has been amazing through all of this...She is only 21 and she supports my decision to take my brothers and loves them as her own. Not many 21 yr olds would do that.We have had times where we both just wanted to give up but we cant because of 2 little boys that need us. I never planned on having any children I simply didnt want them but this situation is different and I hope the courts will give me full custody when we go back to court. Its alot of drama the fact that I am gay. I cant stand the fact that some people would rather put children in a drug abusive home over a loving gay couple? I mean what is that! Anyways if you even read these I hope you could help me but the one I read before mine about the little girl on life support...that is so sad and I think she needs your help before me or anyone else. Thanks for your time

Hey ELLEN!!! My name is Rebecca I live in Inglewood Ca. I write to you SEEKING HELP for my friend. She is a 29 year old EXCELLENT single MOTHER. She is 100% dedicated to her 13 yr old son. Ever since she was 12 she has lived on her own, and nothing has really ever been easy or given to her. I know she DESERVES as much as she needs a NEW CAR. This will help her get to job interviews; and it will also make sure she is always there at her sons school activities. Her son is a 4.0 (gpa) student. he is a well mannered child, very smart. I TELL YA ELLEN! The woman is doing some thing right.! I'd buy her a car my self but i truly cant, I pray that you help me, help this wonderful lady.

Hi Ellen, I don't know about your vehicle giveaway. Honestly I haven't even had tv for awhile. I love you. I think you are one of the most refreshing people out there. Watching you reminds me how much fun life can be. Just by being comfortable in your own skin. I am not sure why am writing or if I am even asking for anything. I guess I just wanted to talk and complain and tell someone about all the things I need. You have a good heart so I thought it would be ok to let it all out. I am a 32 year old disabled woman stuck way out in the woods, with a man that is very horrible to me. Not phyisically, but mentaly he has completley beat me down. Being way out here, not having my own car, and not having the money to pick up and move I feel like a hostage. I no longer have friends, family, and I really don't even get to feel like a mother to my daughter. I feel like she's his daughter and I am the babysitter. Even though he does nothing for her. He orders me to do things for her. I have lost all respect for myself, I don't feel like a woman, I am just lost, and need a new direction and a new start. I guess a need a car and an apartment in a city that has doctors that are familiar with Chiari Malformation, Syringomyelia, Tethered Chord Syndrome, Chronic Pain. Most of all someone to come get my daughter and I. Luckily, I am not married to this man. Thanks for listening to me. Keep dancing and making the world laugh. That's what life should be about.

Ellen, I think of you a lot as I go thru daily life 'alone' - I make jokes within me everyday - thinking "oh, Ellen, would love this..."

I don't have a video recorder, nor a phone cam ~ so I don't send to you!! (duh)

There's nothing special about me, I have had a huge dysfunctional family, 2006, death started... I am still going "hmm"... yes, "they" have dropped like flies...

I am on full disability, no vehicle, I starve a lot, but others are certainly worse off than me!!

It seems there is an organization here in Austin, that is going to help me get new teeth - teeth are a hard thing to go and get!!! Yea! I just found this out 3 minutes ago!!!

The horrible toxins in your body and suffering, it should be paid for by medicaid when you are on disability like me.

Sorry - your a wonderful new front for television - I am writing to you from a very gay friendly Austin, Texas ~ I have certainly never been to Hawaii, I do have 4 sarongs ~~ yep!

I don't even know who I would take!!!
But I would love to see it - yep, it's on the "bucket list"!

Onward,

Dixie Boyd

Hi Ellen.
i'm one of those unusual 14 year olds that like watching talk shows, but not only is your show fun to watch, your give aways are amazing. When i saw that there was a chance to win a new car, i thought of my mom. She car pools everyday, maybe even every second of the day. Lately we've had to climb through the front door just to get to the back, now that's embarrassing. My mom drives a 1994 Plymouth Voyager that basically is getting to its last mile and with 116,000 miles somehow the car is still drivable. The car has a radio that only works with a pencil shoved into the cassette, the door has fallen off many times, almost too many. The slider door only closes when the passenger door is open or just seems like whenever the door feels like closing. Both glove boxes are broken and the passenger which is usually me, gets hit in the back of the legs at a sudden stop. My sister is 2 and half hours away at college which with my mom's car, she is afraid of trying to get up there not knowing if the car would break down or such. My dad recently has had a heart attack and i know they have had financial problems. Between my sister being at college, our house and everything else i know my mom could really use a new car. My mom is someone i can really depend on and is one woman that has always been there for me so in return i would really appreciate if she had gotten a new car because i know at this point, theres no way of affording a new car. Thanks for your time and ill be up to watch your show tomorrow morning.

sincerely, Lauren.

HI ELLEN,MY NAME IS EMILY. I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY FAMILY,AND WHY WE COULD REALLY USE A NEW CAR. MY HUSBAND IS A VERY HARD WORKING MAN WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR OUR DAUGHTERS AND I. HE IS A UNITED STATES MARINE WHO SERVED IN IRAQ IN ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS TIMES DURING OPERATION ENDOURING FREEDOM. HE WATCHED AS HIS BEST FRIEND WAS SENT HOME IN A COFFIN. HE CAME HOME TO US A DIFFERENT MAN. HE HAS MADE A HUGE SACRIFICE FOR OUR COUNTRY, FOR YOU AND ME AND THOSE WHO WE LOVE. SINCE HIS DEPLOYMENT, HIS FORMER EMPLOYER HAD DOWNSIZED AND NO LONGER HAD A POSITION FOR MY HUSBAND. HE WAS WITHOUT WORK FOR SIX MONTHS. DURING THAT TIME I WORKED SO WE COULD KEEP OUR HOME. BUT WE FELL BEHIND ON OTHER BILLS AND EVERYDAY EXPENCES BECAME VERY HARD TO MANAGE. ITS BEEN TWO YEARS NOW AND HE HAS WORKED SO HARD. HE HAS A GOOD JOB NOW AND WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE OK. HOWEVER JUST LAST WEEK THE 1996 MINIVAN THAT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO OWN BROKE DOWN. MY HUSBAND WORKED HARD TO GET ME THAT VAN AND I LOVE IT. SO, NOW WE ARE IN A BIND. WE ONLY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY OUR BILLS AND PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE. I WAS SO EXCITED TO HEAR THAT YOU WERE GIVING AWAY A VAN. IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT WOULD RESTORE MY HUSBANDS FAITH IN THE PEOPLE THAT HE WORKED SO HARD TO DEFEND. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR LOVE. EMILY

Dear Ellen,
My name is Kevin and I am 14 years old. I heard that you were having a car givaway, and I think that my mom really deserves to get something good in her life. She is a single mother and has two sons. all she does is care for me and my brother 24/7. she is the nicest person I know. She would give everything she has to make that her frends and family are all happy and safe. Right now my mom is driving around in a 1992 Buick LeSabre. When she omes down the road, if you didnt know her you would probably think it is an old ladey (not because of her looks, because of the car. She is a very beautiful woman.) I know that many other people will want this car, but I do think that my mom really deserves it.

Hi Ellen I have no idea where to enter the van giveaway but I'll try this site. I'm 62 years old and a retired P.E. teacher who still coaches a girls softball team. During the summer I carry all the equipment for games in the back of my van. However, the dash of my van is lit up brighter than the airport runway. It has a check engine light on, an ABS light on, and a brake light on. It also has mystry light in the interior, they just come on whenever they want and the passenger doors only onlock when they want too. The team would greatly appreciate a new van.

Hello Ellen!! I love your show! It takes alot or me to laugh but you manage to do it everytime. My nephew came running upstairs today telling me about the car giveaway. He was so excited. We would love for my mom to win this car. She is a wonderful mother and grandmother. Right now my mom is driving a beat up van with a broken window and door handle. My mom Carmen is a widow and can't afford a new car due to the fact that between the two of us we are raising my 7 nieces and nephews between the ages of 3-11. Imagine driving them to 3 different schools everyday. The kids are getting bigger but of course the van is not. My mom is on an extremly fixed budget. My mom can't work due to having a child with special needs. Due to her special needs she has a lot of appointments. My mom is deserving of this van. She fights so hard just to get her granddaughter the services she needs. She also travels down south every year just for the kids to get a break. Driving for about 18 hours straight with no help. The van now is falling apart and soon won't be able to make those trips. I love my mom so much she means the world to me and I know that winning this giveaway would mean a lot to her and the kids.

Hello Ellen my name is Brandy. I love your show and try to watch everyday. I need the car because i resigned from my job in october to go back to school and made this decision due to my husband encouraging me to. This story is hard to share because of the pain i still feel in my heart but here goes....I came home from school the evening of my birthday which was Jan. 18th and out of the blue my husband ask me for a divorce and moved out (happy birthday to me). He cut off all communication from that day on we have only communicated through attorney's. So there you go this is my story since then i have completed schooling but still unemployed. I have 2 children and need a new car. Im not looking for charity just the chance for something maybe to go right for me possible be the winner of the car.
