Love your show Ellen!
I was so happy to hear that Deanna will be the next bachelorette! I can't wait to see her on this show and be the one choosing a man for her happiness. That was so..oo Ellen to suggest to Steve McFearson of ABC for Deanna to be the next Bachelorette and make that happen for her!!
WOW your giving away GMC's...that is something anyone would love to win. There are a lot of people out there who deserve to win one over myself...and our daughter is one of them. She's divorced, has two little girls and 6 months ago her Ex decided since she wouldn't (couldn't afford to) take over the payments, he took the vehicle from her (which we feel our granddaughter suffered from his decision too). He lives several states away, so no option of loaning the car to her on occasion either.
As we all know, you have to have a car to get to work and you have to have a job to afford a car/gas! Her oldest daughter is 6 years old and would like to be involved with after school activities. This too is hard to accomplish with no available transportation. Her father and I wish we could help out, but at this time, we just can't. We only have one vehicle and my husband has to drive it to work. He works 6 days a week just to make ends meet for the two of us. Since there is no public transportation nearby except for taxi's and we can't afford taxi services. He doesn't get home until close to midnight, so I have to run any errands before he leaves for work (by 11 AM). Having only the one vehicle makes it impossible for me to have a job outside the home and to help pay the bills. My husband works really hard and has always tried helping out others whenever he can. In August, we will be celebrating 34 years together!
Would it be nice for us to have a second vehicle? I would be lying if I said no! Certainly but we feel our daughter/granddaughters would benefit more if they had transportation. She would get a job, feel better about herself and our Granddaughter could get involved with an after school activity.

Hi Ellen,it's really nice to send you a letter,a little about my self,well I became disabled in 2003,I went from a 34,000.00 a year job to 1047.00 a month,it's really hard I have three grand children ages 19 months to 3 days old,I can't go and see my grandkids like I would like because I have no vehicle,it is really tuff especially when the grandkids come over I barely have anything in the house for them to eat,but when they are here we watch you I do every day you at least keep me smiling but grandkids love it when you start dancing they want there nanna to with them I get a kick out of them when they are dancing with you,I just have to be careful cause I can't bend over and when I go down with my knees I get stuck because my knees have gone out on me,but if you are every in my area please feel free to stop by I would love to visit with and if you could help me in anyway I would be most gracious.

Sincerly yours

Brenda Temples

I am 23 years old and I have never had my own vehicle. I live at home with my mom who has a full time job, so I really have no way out of the house. I also live in an area where there is no city transportation... and it's a job deprived area to boot. So, considering all of this.. I have no car because I don't have a job and I have no job because I don't have a car to travel to a place of opprotunity.

Dear Ellen

I was watching your show today and noticed that you were giving away a GMC truck.I immediately thought of my sister hauling all 5 of our kids to dance lessons movies or the mall on weekends that I’m not home in her beat up oil leaking 1990 Toyota Camry. You asked to say why I think she should get it , I’ll tell you. My sister is a great mother not only to her children but to mine as well.She has been sacrificing her time and money for the kids no matter how tired she feels making sure that they are fed, entertained and experiencing a happy childhood. She was only 22 when she took on the role of motherhood when I left her home alone to babysat my newborn daughter at night and having to work in the morning while I did the graveyard shift as a single mother. She accepted the challenge then and continues to live up to it as she cares for my kids and our mom when I’m at work. We often try to plan activities for the kids together my sister and I but we often have to use 2 cars which are both full of problems. We often wish we could buy a new van but neither one of us can afford one at this time. Ellen, my sister Karlyne is a giving and caring individual who will give up part of herself to make someone else happy. She deserves something great happening to her for a change. She deserves that new GMC car.

Hello Ellen, oh my gosh I love you watch you everyday, you cheer me up and you are a wonderful person. As I am watching your show you said to log on to your website you were giving away a gmc acadia and tell why you should be the person to win one and I didnt see where to do that. However I dont want to win one for me but if I was chosen I would give it to my mom and dad. They do so much for everyone else. My dad stays so sick and cant catch a break and my mom drives a school bus and cleans 3 houses and the church just to keep them afloat to pay for all of his medicine co pays. I pray something will give and it just doesnt. Its always been their dream to have a new car but they cant afford one and theirs is always tearing up. They are always cooking for the elderly at church and visiting the sick in the nursing home they truly are amazing people and wonderful parents and grandparents. I cant imagine my life without them and pray god would just cut them some slack. So if I won the vehicle it would be theirs.

If you haven't given away the GMC I'd like to enter. I'm a county worker & my husband is disabled (total income $34,000 a year)and our pickup trucks are 20 yrs. old. We have 10 grandbabies and 4 are in car seats. We babysit alot and needless to say, pickup trucks don't have room for car seats. We've been looking for a car or van that we can afford to be able to take our granchildren places. Our son just retired from the Marines & lives in Green Bay, WI & two of our granddaughters (ages 8 & 14) live 50 miles away & they want to visit every two weeks but we have to borrow a car to get them or to visit our son in Green Bay. THAT'S WHY I NEED A ROOMY VEHICLE.
