Hi Ellen! Let me just say, you are awesome! I've been watching you for years! Through all the ups and downs in my life you were always there to make me laugh. I thank you for that. It must be a pretty wonderful feeling to be able to reach out and touch so many lives. I wont bore you with my stories of struggles, by the looks of this page everyone seems to have his or her own bag of s---! Being a waitress i struggle financially every day, trying to figure out which bills to pay 1st. Ok said i wasnt goin there....so send that GOLDDIGGIN MACHINE my way!!! Please! I'll be waiting here in florida. I love you Ellen, take care and God bless!! Love your number one fan, Stacey

HI ELLEN!!
I hope I didn't wait took so long to ask for the gold diger machine

I live in Texas our house is gone thanks to hurricane Ike. Our home now needs work in our kids rooms from storm damage as well my husband works so hard but we can only pay the bills with what he makes. We are over our heads in medical bills so we can't save anything to fix their rooms and it kills me. I know that the gold digger could help get their rooms fixed for them. I would love to give my husband some help and a big thank you for everything he does for our family.
Thank you for reading this

Hi Ellen,
Wow...please tell me I haven't missed the Golddigger machine....I've watched your show consistently and have had 5 surgeries since March.

I could use a little more excitement (money) than anesthesia and back pain.

Give me a call and let me get in on some fun...thanks so much...love all that you do for our country and others.

All best,
Jenny

Hi Ellen!
I love watching your show. It allows me to forget about the worries I have when I watch you laughing and joking and of course helping other people. You are one of a kind! I am writing to tell my story so that I may be considered for one of your stimulus packages. I am a single 28 year old mother of one 5 year old wonderful little boy named Hayden. He is the love of my life. He helps me with everything from yard work to my health.
I have diabetes and epilepsy in which I lost my job last year because the company I was working for did not want to insure me, so they told me that I was not meeting sales requirements. My son and I have struggled ever since. My epilepsy has not been able to be controlled with drugs, so my license have been taken away. We struggle daily, but I try not to let it effect our time together doing the things he loves like playing pirates or playing pirates :)! Both of us would be very thankful for any help. If not I will continue to watch your show and smile!! Have a good one!

Hi Ellen,

First let me say that you are a great talk show host and I LOVE your show. You are crazy funny! I need you to bring that gold digger to me here in Griffin,GA. I wish you would have called to let me know you were coming to see Karen so I could get in on the action! I REALLY need to see a dentist and without insurance its going to be, well what ever it is I can't afford it! I was trying to wait forPresident Obama's healthcare reform, but those damn Republican's oppose everything! Anyway Ellen, I just want to be able to take a family portrait with my beautiful family and be able to do it with a big Kool-Aid smile~! I kinda like the one you have so when you bring Gold digger could you send me a referal to your dentist? Thanks and LOL..(that's lots of love not laugh out loud.)

Do you people not read what you are about to post for EVERYONE to see. Most of you sound like a bunch of freeloaders. Seriously, most of you need to get off of your lazy butts and get a job. I know the economy is bad. I bet McDonald's is still hiring. Everyone seems to always want something for nothing. Work for what you want.

Ellen..YOU ARE THE BOMB.
I love your show and try to watch it everyday, I am a mother of 5 kiddos. I have worked all of my lito support my children, I got married about 4 years ago. So now i have help raising my youngest 3 kids. I lost my job due to cutbacks 29may09 and I am trying to start my own business from my home, I am a travel agent and have been for almost 18 years. I love what I do but it is hard to start over again. All agency are scared to hire anyone due to hard times right now. I would love to be in your "gold digger machine" to help pay my house payment and to not lose my house, and to help me get the phone and other things I need to get my business started so I can support my family, send my 18 year old to college, and to feed my two 9 year olds. My husband is working as many hours that they will let him have to keep us afloat but it is really scary. I am at a lost because I have never really been without a job since I was 14 yrs old. You can make my day when you call me and send me to the money machine. thanks for all you do for a lot of us struggling people just trying to make it. You really are awesome.

Dear Ellen,

First I just want to say I am a huge fan of your show I watch it every morning and it is one of the best ways for me to start may day.

I hate doing this because in the back of my mind I cannot help but think of people much more deserving of me, but here is why I believe Gold Digger should come to me.

I finished my first year at Temple University last May and since have been searching desperately for a summer job which in this economy has been virtually impossible. When I go back to Philly I have an apartment I'll need to pay for, books that I will need to get along with all the other college expenses. Thankfully my tuition is being taken care of, but if I cannot pay for this apartment I will be homeless next year. Gold Digger will be a huge help to pay for this apartment and my books for next year, but if there are more deserving people out there I completely understand and ask you to send Gold Digger but if there is any chance you can get to me in Penacook, NH words cannot describe how much I would appreciate it.

Much Love,

Dear Ellen,
I watch your show almost every day and became inspired by your “Gold Digger” machine to write about a person whom I believe is a most deserving recipient of the “gold.” I am a woman with advanced Multiple Sclerosis living in a skilled residential facility in Seattle. Of the numerous wonderful nurses and aides that assist me, there is one aide that has become almost like a mother to me.
Burma, or “Mama Mae” as she is known, is as compassionate and selfless as the day is long. She is a mother to us all at Ballard Care & Rehab. Not only has she “adopted” all of us at the nursing home, but she has also recently adopted her two adolescent grandchildren, who would be so proud if they knew how hard she works for others – but Mama Mae is so humble that she would never boast. Further, Mama Mae is a full-blooded Native American from a tribe in British Columbia who practices kindness and respect not only to humans, but to all of nature, including the animal kingdom and Mother Earth.
Mama Mae has so much responsibility to so many, but has no car. How she manages, I have no idea. If she could afford to buy a car, she could drive to work, drive her grandchildren to karate lessons and to other activities and maybe even save enough time to do something nice for herself. Besides, a car would provide shelter over her head to keep her out of the rain.
Please consider helping Mama Mae. All of the residents and workers at our nursing home would be so honored to give back to this wonderful person who has given us so much, day in and day out, never complaining, always caring.
Sincerely,
Claudia Driscoll

Hi Ellen,
Love the show. Everytime time you give away money or prizes I started crying. Maybe it's because I'm four monthes pregnant. Please help my family. If my husband and I don't get some relief soon from our financial worries then he will have to send me and the children over 1000 miles away to live with my inlaws. Everytime I even think about, well again... more crying. I love my family and I just want us to be able to stay together. Who ever said that money can't buy happiness was never faced with the prospect of splitting up their family due to a lack of it. I loved your mother's day show. Too bad this is my third baby (in three years!) instead of my first.

I could use the chance in your gold digger box. Are forget the box and donate another power chair for me. SIGNED Go-Go Grandma Darline

Hi Ellen:

Come to Milwaukee Wisconsin. I'm a single mother of an 11 year old boy. I could most certainly use the extra money. I help out my parents who are on a fixed income. Me and my mom watch your show everyday. My mom lost her right leg due to her being a diabetic. She's also on dialysis. I really look up to my mom who has been through so much. Also my dad could use a new bike. He's 76 and still exercise by walking an riding his bike.
He would really be surprised.
I could really use the money to pay some bills.

More than anything we would love to come to your show. My mom goes to dialysis Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to know if you recieved my e-mail girl? I am beginning to think that you do not want to see me. I really want you to call my house and tell me the golddigger truck is outside my house. I could really use it. Planning a wedding is not easy. I do not want to give you some sad story but it is what it is. Come on girl call me. I need to play that game to give me piece of mind, or just tell me where you got those sumo wrestling suits because that would be great at my bachelorette party come on and help a girl out Ellen because I am your #1 fan other than your wife,lol! It would be great to have a drink with y'all. I want to introduce you to " SOUTHERN COMFORT " It is a lovely drink. Call me!

Hello Ellen,

I just want to say I love watching your show every day while I'm exercising on my lunch break. I work out a Rehabilation and Wellness Center at Somerset Hospital and I exercise over lunch #1 to take away some stress and #2 to watch your show. I think that the gold digger is such a great inspiration to all americans that watch your show. It shows that someone does care and can help out the way you do. It is greatly appricated around the world. I am a 27 year old women. I am married and have a 2 year old boy and 1 dog. I work like I said before at Somerset Hosptial and also teach dance to little children(tap, jazz, ballet) I have to work two jobs to help keep the bills up. We live paycheck to paycheck and are lucky sometimes to have a $1.00 to are name. We are both hardworking people, but sometimes it feels like we can't get anywhere. My husbands tractor just broke down last week and we can't afford a tractor payment now. It would be nice to just get a brake once in a while. It would be nice to see the gold digger come to Somerset PA nothing very exciting happens here in our little town and it would be nice to hear from you. I hope you might consider some time dropping by. I hope you have a great day.

Hello Ellen,
WOW!, you do so much for so many,, my "goldigger" wish would be for my daughter , who has worked 2 jobs to try to be able to afford a vehicle that will enable her to get from A to B, (nothing fancy) a steering wheel and four tires!! (its getting to the point that she maybe willing to ride a riding mower!) LOL As a single mother raising 5 children, there is very little $ for extra's (especially a vehicle) and it breaks my heart as I know that she needs it as she is hoping to attend college in September (after graduating high school) this month. I think it would be fun just to video tape her trying to catch the money in the money-machine!! I am sure her siblings would NEVER let her live that down.. My Daughter has taken on responsibilities that most teenagers would not consider in order to help our family. She gives of herself to others outside of the home also. She is an AMAZING young Lady and I am so very very proud of what she has achieved.. We LOVE your show and so many times, when things are a little tough, we can turn on your show and be sure to shed tears,, BUT tears of laughter.. THANK YOU for the lightheartedness that you bring into not only our home but many, many homes each and every weekday.. THANK YOU ...

Hi Ellen! I stay home every day; I am disabled due to bipolar disorder. I have to tell you that your show makes me smile and laugh every single day!!

I would like to ask that the gold digger machine come to my home so that I can repay my parents the money that I owe them. I owe them $3,000.

I was diagnosed bipolar after a serious suicide attempt in 2004 (age 48). After that I lived with my folks for two years. They paid for all of my bills for the few months before I could go back to work.

They probably never expect me to pay them back, since I am on disability income. But I truly would like to.

I am writing a book--a memoir. People need to know about this illness that goes undiagnosed for far too many years with devastating effects. But who knows when or if I'll be published.

Anyway, I really love your show; thank you for all the laughs!

P.S. If you decide to come here, can you give me a heads up since I dress lightly in this hot climate. And no refridgerated air at my place!
