Hi Ellen, Thank you so much for being a great example of kindness and joy. I am writing to tell you about my youngest brother Ben he is a fire firefighter for the US Forest Service, he is a great guy. He's been married a few years now and has bought a house. This year has been too much he and his wife were excited to find out they were expected twin girls but the Labor Lottery came too soon at only 22 weeks along they first lost Alyssa and Alexa survived for two hopeful weeks after being born at only 14ounces. Now my brother and his wife are home to an empty nursery and huge medical bills, it will take them years to pay off. They are both really struggling to cope. We are trying to help all we can. I just found out today my brothers truck has broken and I know they were fixing her car last week (my parents bought the parts) I know a lot people go through hard times. I was hoping the swaggin Wagon could maybe give them some hope, and show them the world isn't all bad luck for good guys. Thanks either way for being you. Amy

I just want to meet you so bad,your show puts Joy in my life.I really need alot, but I'm not asking you for nothing. I figure if the lord brings me to it then he'll bring me thru it. So all I want is to meet you. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Didn't know the forum rules allowed such brlilaint posts.

Hi Ellen
Love your show and I think you are hilarious.
I dont like asking anyone for help unless I really need it and believe me for the chance to have this letter picked and aired nationally, Im sure I would almost come under very harsh scrunity but thats a chance I am taking. I have seen how you help others and you have a very caring heart. I have been in my home for 20yrs and pretty much been in debt just about all of it. I am truly coming out a bill at a time. Now I am faced with a roof that needs repair, a bathroom replacement due to rotting and who knows what else it going on behind the walls and now just a few days ago my furnance is in need of repair and thats not a guarantee that all will be well once fix,the furnance is 22yrs old--needs replacing. Yes, I am asking the swaggin wagon to help me. I do trust in my Lord and I know He works through people. So if I am chosen, God bless your heart. A load would SURELY BE LIFTED. Thank you, Ellen.

Hi Ellen, wow all these posts dear lord I pray someone gets the help they need. I have a beautiful daughter living in Connecticut named Mandy, her husband Richey and their adorable five year old daughter Milana. I am so worried about them because they are about to be thrown out of theor apatment, I cant help them in any way and I cant sleep or eat worriying about the outcome. Richey is in the air force and they cant seem to find him a full time posistion and as a result they are losing everything. Little Milana should be writing letters to santa she is so sweet and beautiful My daughter is a strong young woman but I hear the stress in her voice each time I talk with her and all she says is 'Dont worry mom we will figure it all out'. My heart breaks. I just want them to be safe and happy and little Milana to finish writing that letter to Santa.

Have a blessed day,

Amanda

You're quite right with this writing.

Hi Ellen, I will keep it short and sweet, My twins are away at college in Oshkosh Wisconsin. I gave them my 1999 Ford Taurus to share as a car . Both my son & daughter work to pay their rent and go to college and juggling the car, sometimes My daughter has to walk quite a few blocks to classes. All I want and she asked for this for Christmas is a huge umbrella which is light and see threw and goes over her body about down to her knees to keep the cold and rain and snow off of her. I know you always create cute gifts for people on your show with your emblem~ Ellen~ on it she would use it proud! thanks again Ellen I luv yah and so do My children! Cheryl

Dear Ellen- I would like to suprise my husband. I can't remember how long ago but I had lined up front row seats at the Steele County fair to see Keith Urban and my husband was so excited ( he likes country music) and well he was going to bring his guitar to get signed and we drove over there and its and hour there. I really thought it was Saturday nite and not Friday . Well to make a long story short it was a very long ride back. I feel bad to this day cause well I got the day wrong and missed and opprtunity after I had even talked to his promoters. I feel so dumb. I know humans make mistakes but I feel bad for that one. I'm not sure when the CMA awards are but it would be cool to have my husband Steve go. thanks Ellen. I really enjoy watching you in that afternoon makes me laugh before I go to work thank you!

Ellen, I love your show. I wish I could watch it at work. I'm asking that your Swaggin waggin help kids with cancer. The blanket fairy www.theblanketfairy.com (also an Facebook) sends gifts to the kids and organizes donors to give Christmas and Christmas in July gifts to our brave "little" warriors. Theses kids go through so much and often don't win the fight. They are kids and should be enjoying life outside of hospitals and treatments that make them very sick. I lost my only grandchild Hayden at age 4 to cancer last December. Little gifts meant so much to him and his mom, my daughter. It showed us how much people care. I hope you can be a prt of this for the kids. Thank you.

Ellen's Swaggin Waggin can you please visit the Blanket Fairy she sends goodies to cancer kids and needs your help. If you can help her for the kids she can include you ellen in their packages. Here is the Blanket Fairys website Thank YOU !! www.theblanketfairy.com. Thanks everyone :)

Hi Ellen,
A couple weeks ago my hours got cut at work. I have slowly dropped from forty to twelve a week. I began searching for a new job, because as a single mom of a three year old, 12 hours is just not cutting it. A week into the 12 hours a week, a shelving unit at work fell on me. I broke my leg. Now I cannot find someone who wants to hire a person with a broken leg. I love my job, I wish I was getting more hours. I would like to finish going to school, but I am not making enough money to put y son in day care for work hours, let alone school hours. I need help. I know the best way for us to get ahead and pay of debt is for me to finish my college degree, I just don't know how I am supposed to get it done.

Hi Ellen :) I watch all your shows on YouTube and I'm a big fan of yours!! I'm only 14 years old but my parents are working extra hard to support 2 house holds. My step sisters's house and my house. My mother always has to work till late nights!! My dad has physical back pain for some reason and he still has to travel to maylasia to meet his clients most of the time and I don't see him much because he is either In maylasia or at my step sister's house. We havent been in a vacation for years and I live in singapore. I'm not asking for anything special all I want to do is go on a vacation with my family. But they seem to not have enough money and time to spend with me and my brother. They can barely afford the air tickets. Let alone hotels and shopping.

Hey Ellen, I don't usually watch your show because I was at work,since my wife passed three years ago my days are getting gloomer. I was injured on the job as a delivery driver or peddled freight in Iowa and surrounding states. As I was off ended up in ER thinking having a hearty attack. But by grace of GOD not but found a tumor. I had successful surgery in June. So since Dec. 23 been off work no incopme coming in applied for SSD n SSI but denied my 2006 F150 was repoed $my lanmdlord and m$anager of Apt has let me stay. State of Iowa hasd helped with part of rent monthly. I'm at witts end. Could you find me some help till released to work or receive benifits of some or any kind. Love what you do for those who need help. Keep up what u d. Robert Mullins

Ellen Love your show, but I love your heart more! You are truly a wonderful role model for all humanity. You care for people you have never meet, you help children that you do not know,you bring laughter into others..that is something money can not buy. You have a gift to make others realize there just might be a God because you sure are one of his Angels. I have read most of these posts and I know how it must break your heart not to help each and everyone personally, just by sending them a e-mail back puts a smile on their face. I know you do this because you are pure and have a giant heart, un like Oprah..(oops did I say that out-loud) I am happy with my life today, I have faced much adversity,my 1 and only child who lives in a hospital, just lost my home and all my belongings in a fire, my car is on its last leg, can't find work etc, however I am not here to ask for anything for me, i have 1 daughter,2 Niece's and 1 Nephew who I would love to be able to take exploring. I take care of them as often as I can and try to let them know life is not easy, but if you find the things that make you grateful..you can really have a good day. Thanks for all you do Ellen. p.S. if you ever have a singing contest my Niece would love the chance to sing to you. Oh one more thing, if your ever in Florida stop by for coffee and I will show you around. Best wishes~ Sarah R.
