Cheerio,

Hi Ellen and All Ellen Fans,

I saw the following post on another board and was very touched. So I thought I would copy the post and add it to as many boards as I could.

My thoughts are that maybe if all of us fans get behind this - maybe, just maybe, Ellen and Crew can help make this happen for Kyle. I am sure that it will be easy enough to verify all that is said in the post.

I don't know Kyle or the family, I am just touched by the story and would really like to see this happen for him. So how about it fans....can you all help me to reach Ellen about this young man?

I am doing it myself just because it puts a smile on my face to think that maybe as a group we can give Kyle a Birthday he'll never forget. I hope you'll all read the post and help me reach out to Ellen on Kyle's behalf. Thanks in advance for reading the post and any comments you post to Ellen!

Here is the post: I am going to change it a bit to make it easier to read, but I will not change any of the words.

Ellen, PLEASE HELP!! there's this un-remarkable Kid named Klye Kickok who has pretty much spent a greater part of his life in the hosptial, Kyle is 11 going on 50, 4'11" he weighs about 70lbs, he has a BIG, round,sparkly,eyes, And an Awesome Smile that lights up the whole room,He is quit the prankster.

When Kyle was born on Mar.25th ,1996 he was 5 weeks early, An had troubles right off ,the docs tried for awile to figure him out, he had tons of tests.he first went to Childrens in Seattle when he was 8 months old they thought he had leukemia ,but he didn't, more tests and a couple years later his family found out he had a clotting disease called factor5 liden, and it had clotted off his portal vein ,so it was slowly making his liver fail,

when he was 5, he had a surgery for a twisted bowel,then when he was seven he had a 11hr operation to take out his spleen and make him a spleenal-renal shunt, it lasted only a couple years.then he had a 16 hr op..to take out his gallbladder and make a meso-caval shunt,

He has a heart murmur and his kidneys and lungs have trouble because of his liver failure, Kyle has had pneumonia more times then anyone can count and lots and lots of transfusions and tons and tons of meds..He went on the liver transplant list on Jan 29th 2007 and have been waiting since.all his life has been doc's and hospitals he don't know any different really. You would think that with all those problems he would have had his share of mountains to climb,but as fate would have it that wasn't to be.

On Dec.22nd he woke up with horrible headache and super sensitive to light and sound and started vomiting, His Mother, who I must say has been a rock through all of this. Took him to the doc and they thought he had meningitis so wanted to do a spinal tap but couldn't because of the blood thinners so they did a CT scan and found a burst brain aneurism

so they flew Kyle right away to Harborveiw in Seattle where they found that not only did the little guy have 1 but 7 aneurisms so into surgery. 3 in 4 days to do a thing called coiling, while fixing 3 of them he had two little strokes on the right side of his brain but they were very little, but all of the contrast they were using caused him to go into full renal failure and congestive heartfailure, but true to his tough, superhero, nature and all of the prayers, He is still fighting.

they moved Kyle to childrens on Jan2nd so he could start dialysis to help his kidneys and get off the extra 20 pounds of fluid this little body was holding onto,He has a long way to go to get better.

Kyle has been such a strong, fighter and it seems just when he finishs with one surgery an recovering from that something else comes along and not so much knockes him down but is thrown on his plate to deal with,

The reason Im writting Ellen is that Kyle will be turning 12 on March 25.He is such a caring and kind kid when Make A Wish Foundation wanted to give him a wish One of his original wish's was to have dinner with Emeril Legasse and Rod Stewart.

But since Kyle is the most giving, sharing kid, what he ended up asking for was a vacation that his whole family could ALL enjoy!, But that Vacation never happened due to being in the hosp.

So with ending this Im just asking if you could Please put Kyle in touch with Emeril, Rod or even someone like the Cyrus family, as he is way into Hannah Montana as well it would be amazing! Even if it was a phone call or email or letter... Just something spectacular and uplifting for this amazing Kid on his b-day. Thank you so much Ellen. Andrea Wood, Kalispell Montana

We just got a dog. He is great. He is a Goldendooldle. We took your advice and bought him Halo dog food, he loves it. My wife Marjie and I love watching your show. I just want to tell you one thing. You have to be the most sincere and giving person on this earth. The way you look at and enjoy people is amazing. No matter if it is a funny, sad or heart breaking story, you just care so much about everything. A lot of shows give stuff away, but its like they are doing it for there show and do not care for the people. But you really care about every person or thing that you help. I forgot to tell you our dogs name is Seger. We went thru alot of names. We choose Seger from the great rock and roll singer Bob Seger. Keep up the great work you are doing. And please keep helping people the way you do. Because I am sure everyone else enjoys what you do for people as much as we do. I wish I was able to help people as much as you do. Because giving to people who are less fortunate than others is one of the greatest things you can do. We love you and hope your show continues for a long while. Because there are alot of people out there who need exactly what you do for them. I am sure you make a small dent in what needs to be done for this world. But the people who you help and the people who watch you do it love you for it. Keep up the great work.

Marc & Marjorie Grollman and our lovely dog Seger

Better still are the conveyor belt sushi restaurants. You watch everything go around and around, then you have to grab the bowl - not very good when you have been taught never to snatch! Or you see the food you want go down the otherside of the conveyor belt and just before it comes to you someone chooses it!

Personally I am not a huge fan of raw fish so I tend to go for the veggie options. But I do love tempura and chicken teriyaki - yum!
And as for wasabi - eek!!!! Something I was tricked into trying once - and never ever want to to try again!

Hey ellen.. YOU ROCK!!!!!
thats it
Bye

Hi Ellen, been watching you since your original shows years ago.....you are so blessed and the best thing is that you give back to the community, not just the gay community but to everyone. As an Italian American from the Bronx who knew he was gay but went the straight route to satisfy family, then got divorced and met the man I've been with now for 27 years, I could only hope that the new generation realizes how good they have it now. You are a role model for young gay people who know that they don't have to hide in the closet, but be proud and gay and equal members of society. When your image was plastered on magazines across the country when you came out on national television you saved countless numbers of young gay people from suicide and forced parents to realize that it's ok to be gay!! I know you don't want your show to be an exclusive platform for gay issues but I applaud those moments when you bring up issues to this country that should be openly discussed like that eight year old boy who was murdered by another boy who felt it was just punishment. You have the power to change this country!! Thank you, Bill Camarda

Dear Dottie Dearest, After Jesus had arrisen from the dead, he was seen several times by those who knew Him. At one point, as recorded in the Gospel of John, Jesus is on the shoreline with a fire and a honeycomb. Peter, fishing from a boat, recognizes Him, jumps in the water and swims ashore. This is after Jesus had told them to cast the net on the other side, resulting in a very large catch. Anyway, at one point, Jesus says to Peter,"feed my lambs", then twice more he says to Peter, "feed my sheep". Now, I am assuming that Jesus was refering to those that come to faith in Him, and I am also guessing that by Jesus having a fire there that he meant for the sheep to cook their food even though they might like the taste of it raw. Personally, I do not like sushi, however taste is subjective NOT objective. Therefore, my conclusion would be for ewe to BE CAREFUL when eating sushi. Eye thoroughly enjoy ewer presence on this planet and Eye would not like to see it end over something like NOT cooking ewer food. Sincerely, Sphoon

well first good luck and hugs to you ((((((((Tiffany))))))) You are really doing a wonderful thing. :-) yucky I just don't know how anyone can eat sushi. Isn't sushi raw fish eyes? Oh I don't think I could eat it even if someone paid me a thousand bucks. Hey Ellen that would be funny to have on your show!!! Yes new idea here. Have really really NASTY food and see who will eat it. Now then Ellen also I know you don't like hot things so you ate the wasabi? Good for you, yes hot things like that, I think, are good for us. Well Ellen I like your other "salad-ey" lunches best. Namste. K.Mara

Ellen - I also like sushi but am wondering why the pieces have to be so big? It's not like you can cut them in half - so you have to jam them in your mouth. That is usually when the waitress comes over to ask if everything is okay and you can only nod - even if there is a problem.
Next time you are in Baltimore, I would love to take you to a great sushi place.

Hey Ellen! My name is Emily (obviously) and I'm 13 years old and I love your show. Well, I wanted to email you for a question, but I can't because I'm not "18 years old" which really made me sad. So I really don't know what to do because I have many questions for you, but no way of reaching you (except if I ask my mom, which, sorry but, I don't want to do). Well, I guess that's my only problem for now. Don't you worry Ellen, I'll find away to reach you!

Fan forever-ever-ever,
Emily

ellen i was wondering of you could help danny noriega get in to the music business i love him and would by his album.ellen is there any way a play for a contest at home email me let my know i the name i entered when i sighned up was marla. is i am wondering you said when i sighned up you would be calling me how come you havent. i think you should bring back david hernandez the person that got eliminaed this week on american idol what do you other people think? love ellen macy

I'm not big on sushi - i'm italain - we don't quite understand the meaning of small portions. Never mind trying to eat with pencil like sticks. But it looks cool. I'm just afraid its gonna be spicy. Like you ellen - i don't like spicy hot things. Well..... if you do it.. i'll do it.. deal?

Hi Ellen, I am writing you because I know how much of an animal lover you are and i am also. I was wondering if you have seen the horrible youtube video of the two marines throwing an puppy off of a cliff. I couldnt beleive what i saw and it made me cry to see such a horrible thing. Dont get me wrong, i have very close friends who are in the marine corp serving our country over in iraq but the two marines who did that to that poor puppy are a disgrace and should be punished. I know you help animals- maybe you could help the next puppy those two come across.

My friends and I went out for sushi this past weekend, also. If you are looking for fantastic sushi in a dimly lit environment, I have just the place for you. Kansas City, MO, down on the plaza is a little place called Kona Grill. They have amazing sushi and (at least in the evening) it is not a brightly lit atmosphere. You should take a trip to Kansas City sometime and let my friends and me take you out for sushi.

Hello. I was wondering how soon I should be getting a reply back to the email I sent in. Thank you!

I am writing to tell you the plight of my son's elementary School - Canyon Vista in Aliso Viejo, Ca. On Tuesday, March 11th 60% of our teachers were pink slipped. We as parents are making evey effort to raise over $7 million in 12 weeks to help save not just our teachers but all of the other teachers affected in our district which contains 55 schools and 50,000 students. We as parents have started a grass roots movement to try to raise this deficit money to save our teachers and maintain our class size for our children. We are very concerned about the learning experience our children will have in the future due to the state budget crisis.
