You relaly saved my skin with this information. Thanks!

Ellen,

I would just like to thank you for your wonderful giving spirit. I can truely tell you love to give. I wish there were more people like you out in the world. You make so many peoples lives so much happier even if it's just for an hour a day. I never watch your show and leave feeling down, it's nice to come after work and laugh! It always seems this time of the year is difficult. My husbands work was laying off at this time two years ago, and we thought it would be better for him to look for a different job, espscially after his unemployment got denied. Taking a 7.00 an hr paycut, making min. wage, was a blow to us. We always have struggled but now it was even harder. Our rent was increasing, just when our lease was up, we were asked to move into a house and rent for a year. The lady who is letting us do this is a very wonderful person. When I was 18 I became pregnant and mu mom kicked me out, my brother and his wife let me nove in with them, but as their family grew they needed room. The school I was going to was for pregnant moms and thier children. I meet my "mom", she and her husband took my son and me in. They both have and still do so much for us I don't know what we would have done without them. Her husband lost the battle to cancer, and deceided to move closer to her daughter. Buying a house there, with the one here unable to sell, so that's when she asked us to move in and rent from her. The house is great, we have never had so much room. We are hoping that we will never have to move, but she really needs to sell the house, so she can put the money towards her house now. So for now we are enjoying it The boys love that they have their own rooms, and a huge backyard. We keep saying our prayers, and you never know what will happen. Thank you for all you do and have a very Merry Christmas.

Hi Ellen! My name is Nicole Weikman and I live in Canada in the small town of Dunnville, Ontario. I'm 16 years old and I watch your show every day when i get home from school at 4:00. I can honestly say that for the entire hour of watching you, I find myself laughing so much. Laughing is something that can instantly brighten up my day and you make that happen for me everyday. You are a role model of mine and I try more and more each day to follow in your foot steps. You do so many good things for so many people and have inspired me to do the same as much as possible. I have been donating money to my school funrasiers and have been helping fundraise on top of that. I have even been considering cutting my hair off and donating it for cancer patients. Very recently I just applied to go with my school on a pilgrimage to Dominica, one of the poorest countries in the carribean, for eight days to help the people living there by teaching kids and helping rebuild. I'm honored to mention that you are the reason that I have been doing these things and I thought you should know the impact you have on people such as me. You are such an inspiration to me and you are the reason I think its important to be myself. Although living so far away makes it difficult, I sincerly hope that I can soon be able to make my way to be in the audience of your show, it would be like a dream come true for me to see you in person, doing what you do best. Much Love, Nicole.

Hi ellen my name is tabatha and I'm 21yrs old! Me and my brother adam he is 18, love your show. After he graduated 09 he was really excited to go college but for money reasons he can't go yet. He once told me he had no reason of waking up everyday anymore until I introduced him to you :) he wakes up everyday at 2:45(dallas,tx time) to be ready and watch your show at 3. Our parents recently got divorced and my dad, adam and I were living in my dads friend house, and my mom my sister marlisse17, my little brother patrick7 and my little sister melodie5 are staying with my mom in a 1 room apartment. Well recently got kicked out of that house because it was on forclosure and now we are all except my dad staying in my moms apartment. I tried to stay possitive and think that everything happens for a reason and you help me go through all this cause you make us all laugh even when we feel like crying inside. Its hard for me to watch your show now because I recently got a job and I go in at 3:30 and my moms apartment is 45 minutes away but adam tells me all about it when I get home and he takes pictures with my camera to show me what happened, and because he never misses your show I would like to ask you if you can say hi to him on tv he would be more than happy if you mentioned his name, he's always telling me how he wants to go to your show to dance with you in the audience, I will thank you for life if you do this for me. Thank you ellen for being there for us even without you knowing it you give us a whole hour of happiness. Oh and by the way we are both following you on twitter adam8or and irockliketab :D
