Hi Ellen, my name is Dixie. I live in a remote area of South Dakota. I'm medically disabled and forced to retire. My vehicles are pretty much trashed except for my newest which is a 1995 Ford f-150 4x4, which I cannot even afford to drive to my medical appointments. My 91 Pontiac has the headlights falling out of it from hitting pheasants and a deer in the past, but I have no other choice with the price of gas. My doctors require me to see them once a month over an hour away, and my dream is to own some type of Hybrid or car that gets really terrific gas mileage even if it is just a wee little bean of a car. I'd love it. I know I will never be able to afford to buy a newer vehicle, but I try to keep my home by scrimping on everything else and keeping my rat terrier puppies in dog food as they are what I live for as I live alone. This past two years have been a search of who and what I am and what I'm supposed to be doing. My husband passed away in 2003, and I'm certainly lost without him and have lost everything in my life as I don't have a partner anymore and Wow, to start the search for a new partner is just beyond my power right now. We worked so hard at our jobs, kids, and our little hobby farm and cattle and Arabian horses, and now all that is gone and my only wish is that I had a decent car to visit my family back in Minnesota and could make my doctor's appointments without worrying I'm going to break down, especially during the cold winters. I know so many people are in need more than me, but this is a dream for me. Please help? I suffer from Osteo-arthritis, Spinal Stenosis, herniated discs in my neck, fibromyalgia (genetic), migraines, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and hypothyroidism, yet I do everything I possibly can to find natural remedies besides my prescriptions to find a way to live a normal life as I used to have. I just can't do it anymore. I miss life so badly. Some days it's just difficult to go on. I just miss partaking in life because I cannot go anywhere. *wiping the tears away* You do so much good. Will you have a show on fibromyalgia sufferer's - there are so many of us out here. Yet for every doctor that we see that might help, there are 400 telling us it's all in our heads. God Bless you Ellen, do a little dance for me. Dixie

Ellen,
Im needing a car major bad. Im 36 and re-married and sharing a car. I need to be able to pick up my son and take him to practices. I feel like a horible mother. PLEASE!!!!

Hi Ellen,
You're show is the coolest. OH, btw, drop the wall connector for the rubber tubing down about 12" and you will inflict more pain on your guests when they play "The Marshmellow" game! Please win my a fuel-efficient car so I can afford to drive to work.
All the best
Mark Kinchen

Hi Ellen,
I hope this message will find you in great spirit.
I adore you that you are so funny and energetic in your young age. I am much younger than you but I feel like I am getting ready to my grave time.
Please cheer me up, if you could, and will you?
I have a hope that there is one thing that could make me like you, you wonderful, Ellen.
I am living in Wellington area in New Zealand. What a wonderful place. It's almost a paradise in this world. But sometimes, I can't feel that way at all. And even I am in the palace of the wonderland, that won't cheer me up.
I want to introduce you my son, little Nathan.
My baby Nathan is 5 years old, and he is a great fan of you.
Axually he known you from the Disney Movie, 'Finding Nemo!', as you are 'Dori' on that movie.
Well, my self I didn't know it was you until my baby little boy told me when he was only 3 years old. He loves you so much and I began to love you.
Nathan connected me to you that I am enjoying a lot with your show when I was in Sydney, Australia, and in here, New Zealand.
My baby was taken away from me, and it means he was taken away from his dear Mom a year and 3 months ago. I was his everything as he was everything for me. The people who took him away didn't tell him why he is taken away and why Mom is no more living with him, Why he is no longer with Mommy. He was with me all of his life within his memory but all of a sudden Mommy was gone with no one explain to him.
I don't know where he is exactly nor if he is well. The people were so cruel, didn't care about that little boys well-being but let him used as a hostage to the person who won him, his natural father.
His natural father is American, and a liar, drug addicted, mentally ill person who fight with all of his partner (wives) in his past using children.
And the law was manipulated by the person who's title under American citizen. His first wife was Mexican, and second myself is Korean. We all lost our child to him. He is a great manipulater and a drama king who is supported by his mother (a huge mama boy).
I can't do anything at the moment for my son by law of USA and by the world. But it doesn't mean that I give up my right to my son. I am a mother appointed by God our Father in Heaven.
God is working for our good, for the people who do not give up even the world has given up.
My son is given to me, and even I am not American citizen, I am a human being who loves my son with all of my heart.
I can't physically do anything to contact my son, but I believe there is at least someone in this world has heart, and concern about one poor little child who lost his whole life.
Would you be the one to help my son that letting him know that his mom is alway loving him, and waiting for our Father, God to bring him to his Mom?
Would you be the one who cares that the little one is still a human being that no one can take an advantage of him for brutal reason of selfishness?
I would like to know if you could find my son and feed him, find him if he is happy, fine in health (physically and mentally). Find him who he is with now, if he is still in torture by his own father. The law system refused to do their job.
I've been went through all possible thing I could do while I was in the States, but as I am not a white American, no one else stood up for me, but took their possible advantage of me. (Of course, money).
My ex-husband took all of my properties and even wanting to receive child support from me as I became a homeless. I could show you all the evidences.
But I started my life all over again supported by Lord, our Father. I will rise!
And I will appreciated your great support.
I would like to talk to you sometime for more information and the way that you and I could proceed the help of my child.
I doesn't mean that I will do any illegitimate thing at all. I am a child of God that what I am thinking and doing is by his commandment.
Father wants me to do with people who has heart.

I am looking forward to talk to you.
Love in Christ,

My dear young sister has been great support for my case and endlessly supported my law cases.
She had no time to date or meet someone in her life so far, even she is 37 years old.
I want to praise her with my heart, and would you be the one to help me?
My sister name is Suzie, and living in Burbank, CA.
Would you send her a ticket to your show?
I can't do anything but praying.
Please listen to my prayer and my request.
Ellen, please be the one. Thank you.

My email is as above and my sister's email is
suzieyim@yahoo.com

Thank you!!

I'm kinda confused about the way the website is going.We are watching re-run shows, so I'm not sure about any of it right now. Sometimes I read the parts that ask why I "deserve" something as nice as that car.I can't answer that,really.All I can say is that I really need it, and haven't had a running car in years. I am disabled, and its always stormy here. I needed a haircut, so my husband got his done. I needed new glasses after falling and having a frontal lobe concussion, so my husband got glasses instead. When I fell, I knocked out all my bottom teeth, so had to get dentures. I paid out of the pocket. Insurance kicked in and he got a check and didn't give me the money back, and I was supposed to get a final set of dentures in a certain time period-no one will take me.Nice.He tells me no one else would want me because I am uglier that a one eyed hooker in a strip club.When the rebate came in (finally)he bought himself a high-dollar gun while my broke down car is still sitting in the driveway, for about a year now. I own this place, I have to pay all the bills and he is mentally cruel to me.(or is that my imagination?) I have 3 horses, I bought some clear tubs to start packing in,I am going to take the tent if I can and leave. I know what I get if I stay here,I can't afford to pay for everything,so-I'll do what I can.I need to go at least 100 miles away from the Ohio Valley.I don't have a place to go and no way to get there. He stopped putting anything in my account about 2 years ago, and he doesn't pay household bills, he waits until its "shut off time" or threats to repossess the trailer, then he yells at me and says I can't handle money, or anything else. Its time for me to run away from home and I am not really able to do that in my physical state. I saw a Chevy HHR and it can come with nice options, when I look at cars now it has come down to "if" I can get in or out of one. Everyday I look out and hope that my guardian angel has something for me, I think there has been a mistake at the post office because there is only bills waiting for me. I am somehow going to get out of here. I guess I'll have to leave my horses and dog, and everything else I have worked for. My mom died and left me a small insurance policy-I put almost all of it towards a funeral for my younger sister because I feel pretty sure no one else would take it on themselves to do it. I bought an extra policy in case cost goes up. All of it is to be paid to the funeral home, I already bought her plot. She has Downs, and a lot of other things wrong. I live within 2 miles of a military dump and it is high level toxins in the ground and groundwater. I can't tell you the name of the place on this part of your site. It's making me sicker. I am so tired of all of this,its time to stop loosing and just get it over with.I'll let them repo everything. I have tried so hard to make things right that I must have run out of "try" My mom provided the money for my red horse, she is able to heard calves and sheep.The gray one is really cranky-Arabian mix, and the baby is named SmootchTW. I have a couple of stupid things on youtube under that name. I learned a hat trick-if you want to hear the video, crank up the volume and ignore the mess. It would be great to get a car, the HHR lays the seats down flat and I could sleep in it when it comes down to it.I sure didn't mean for things to go this way, but you can't help being disabled, can't change the way SSD pays, and you can't help what others do. I am going to look forward to your new shows.
Good luck to you and your partner, I hope you have a very happy life. You should get Mike Armstrong on your show. He is a comic ex-policeman from Louisville, and has been on HBO a few times. I think you would like him a lot. He has this crazy little snicker thing he does!
Much love to you and the cast.

Hello Ellen,
My 18 year old daughter needs a new car. She purchased a used car all on her own a few months ago. She purchased a Toyota Celica 1994, which had over 130,000 miles on it. She paid $1500. of her own money. She went to school full time and worked full time to save her own money. We made a deal that I would match whatever she saved, but knowing that I am strapped for money raising her and her 3 brothers alone, she did not bother me for additional monies. Since she purchased the car (which turned out to be a lemon). She had her boss who has a mechanic friend work on the car. Each time they took the car in (due to a transmission leak) he would work on it, repair it (or so we thought) return it and within 48 hours the car always went back to be repaired due to leaking. This went on for several weeks. Once the car leaked so much, we sent it back to the mechanic, only this time it sat at his shop for months. Needless to say, out of the 6 months that she has owned the car, it sat at the mechanic for 5 out of those months. He kept telling her that when he had time he would work on it. He just delayed it and charged money each time. My poor daughter was so stressed about it, that she was making herself sick. She continued to work overtime just to save money for the next repair, which always came. Just a week ago, she finally got her car back. (after she was told the mechanic needed to wait for a part to come in from China)after weeks of being promised, "this Friday for sure you will have it". But each Friday came and went. Within 24 hours after getting the car, the same leaking issue happened. We were so upset, that her grandpa and some of his friends drove to the mechanic shop and walked in demanding that her car be fixed and fixed right this time around. So far the car is running, but leaking just enough that she only needs to put transmission fluid in each day to get from point A to B. I feel so bad for her, but I can not avoid to get her a better car. I worry about her everytime she goes out.

My hopes is that she wins a car from Ellen. She is a good girl trying really hard to grow into a responsible adult. She made me proud saving her own money and not once bothering me for monies to help pay for the expense. I would just hope that she had a more reliable and safe car to ride around in.

Thank you

I would love a nice small home in a nice area with a yard for me, my mom, and my teenage daughter to call home. California is so expensive that the thought of a home with a yard would probably be next to impossible. I got my Real Estate license years ago and did everything possible to make it happen. Well it didn't and I gave up on selling Real Estate and went back to work about 4 years ago and still renting. With my daughter going to college soon will my dream ever come true? Ellen, can you ask Extreme Home Makeover to help make this dream come true for me? I would like them to expand their show for single parents that are first time homebuyers.

i would love to have a new car( or even a reliable used car) not for myslef but for my daughter of whom I am very proud. She just recently graduated from college and her car is on its last leg. We spent so much getting her through college that we just don't have enough money to buy her even a decent used car. She is just now starting to venture out in the world and within months will have to start paying on her student loans that she wont be able to afford to buy a car herself. I feel incredibly guilty that I cannot help her out. She has worked so hard through the years to keep her grades up and I just wish there was someway I could reward her for her efforts, other than telling her very proud I am of her.

Ellen, keep up the great work you do.You are great.Love the shows.
