Ellen loves responding to her viewers, so today she answered another batch of mail. She weighed in on everything from the iPad to "American Idol" -- and was surprised to find out what Mama does at "Idol"!

my youngest brother is Robert wells, he is 28yrs. old, married with a 2yr, old little boy. Robert had a tramatic birth, which left him extremely nervous and anxiety attacks. he has struggled for a long time trying to find his place in the work force. he is now a truck driver and teaming with our nephew, he can not go it alone. he has bad credit and cant get a loan for a home to put on moms land, his name is on the loan against it with mom. right now they living with his wifes parents in one room, his has gone back to school for massage therapy, they have tried so hard to make a life for their son. my question is if there is any thing you can do to get them help? mom and I would love to help them, but she draws social security and I draw disability. wether we get a reply or not, I just want to thank you for this opportunity, and tell you how much we enjoy your show.
Dear Ellen,
Both of my parents are unemployed. My mom is sick and isnt aloud to work and ist pulling in any money for our family and my dad had went to school for 4 years and still cant find a job, he has been laid off multiple times. Since both of them do not work we are struggling financially and both of our vehicles are falling apart and we have no extra money to fix them or get new ones. We all love you Ellen we watch your show everyday excpecially when my boii Bieber is on <3 My name is Deidre and i live with my parents and my 2 younger brothers one 9 and the other 3. My family and I would be entirly greatfull if you could help us out with this though this difficult time
Thank You :)
Ellen first off, I love you!! You are so talented,such a natural! I love your show, you are a great inspiration to many..Heres my delema, and I dont know if you can help or not , but I figured, what the hell, may as wll try. It started with this dream I had, too funny i was single, living in a condo in Florida, and my friends name wass Justin Bieber, yeah too funny Im 55 yrs old..and married!! Anyways, I dreamed he was just a friend that liked to hang at our house to be a normal person, for a bit, no screaming girls etc. , he evan fixed my leaking bathroom sink, lol, so I made him some homemade spagetti.. lol.. Ok, stop laughing, I made a big mistake and told this dream to the girls -14 of em at work.. I work in a scheduling ofc for a hospital in Ft Myers,fl.. anywhays, I have now become the laughing stock so to speak.. averything is Bieber this Deb, Bieber that Deb, lol. They have decorated my desk with his pictures so many times I have lost count..I told them , they would not laugh anymore if I really brought the Bieb to the ofc to show them I was really his friend .lol..anyways it will prolly never happen but omg it would be sooo funny to walk him into my ofc one day.. I would get them for sure.. Now I came to you with this, because I think we have the same sense of humor, and ofc course you can probably get JB to do this more than I ever could ..so,... If your up for this , I certainly am. Maybe you could convince him too. lol ok love you to bits thanks for listening, stay happy and healthy!! deb G at dagmom3@yahoo.com PEACE
Dear Ellen, I have been saving for a vehicle for awhile now, but not getting too far, too fast. My daughter & I watch you're show every day. Alyssa is mentally handicapped, but she knows when it's 3:00pm, Ellen time, & you'd better not touch the channel changer until 4PM! I have been wanting to tell you Thank You for all the smiles you bring to her face, but until last week we did not have a computer to write to you. So I went into our car fund & purchased one. We are both disabled, so it is not only her that you bring pleasure to. A new car is out of our reach anyway, but if you have a viewer that has a used vehicle they want to get rid of, please let me know. Also God Bless you for all you do, & all you believe in. Much Love & appreciation, Judy & Alyssa White
Dearest beloved Ell, I love your style of humour that you share to the world to make us all feel great about ourselve`s throughout the universe thank you ever so much. As a Native North American Indian aka Canadian First Nation have you ever thought about showing how the First Americans & First Canadians dance in their traditional outfits ? It`s just too bad we hardly ever see them on a national tv, except in the news portrayed w/ negative or unhealthy sterotypes. Just imagine if your show portrayed the true first American / Canadian Indians in your studio ? But, in the world of corperate socialism who would ever think of it ... random thought`s that make you go hmmm ...

Hi Ellen
First of all im a big fan of urz, oh well u get to hear this from everyone...aahhh thats boring. How i can inspire u for u to inspire me . Huh what am i saying. Ok so listen, every single day i watch ur show from 4-5. I hate if someone interupts me despite im at work, and if its a slow day i call it a day to sit infront of the tv n ready to dance and clap and laugh out loud and jump if someone has won a giveaway enjoying the moment that i won the prize, isnt it weird. When my husband walks into the apartment he thinks im crazy. Every single day i bug him to check out the tickets online coz when im looking for tickets they are always sold out and i always feel unlucky. I guess im very unlucky :( not ur fault ellen its just you are to generous to people.
Anyways you have a great day
Be kind to one another which i tell everyone and my husband wonders where i got the quote from yes its you and i mean it be kind to one another.
ANYWAY
See you tmrw from 4-5 :))))
The girl who won the $10,000 talent prize used my jump rope trick to do it with. This was my invention, I feel sort of cheated. I have 100's of witnesses as to this as it was my center trick on our jump rope team for many years.
Ellen.. How do i get to be lucky like some people on your show. I sit there and watch and wish that was me. LOL.. I watch these people getting 20,000, house, or gifts and I tell myself "man.. All i need is just 5,000 to get my life together.
Ellen.
You are always doing nice things to help people out and I would like to share my daughters story because I know she would never ask anyone for support.
On May 7th 2012 my daughter Jenny Hutchinson who is 31 was a kidney donor for a friends son who is 4. Everything went well at first. After about 3 month Jenny went into accute Kidney Failure. It has now been a full year and her kidney is now only functioning at 25% and at 20 her doctor is placing her on the transplant list. It is very frustrating for her. She doesn't claim to be a hero of any sort and is full of guilt for placing her family in this situation. Jenny has 3 of her own kids, Grace 8, Drew 6 and Bryce 4. Her Husband Andy is supportive but equally is frustrated because of all of the additional medical expenses they are experiencing and the health issues that Jenny suffers from because of the donation. To go along with all of her own worries Hayden the kidney receipiant is now in kidney rejection and is returning to St Lukes hospital in Kansas City MO. He starts rejection treatment on Monday Memorial day. Jenny feels like right now everything she touches turns to stone. So worried about insurance, family and her life her world feels that it is crushing down on her now.
I have checked online and unfortunately the living donor seems to be a forgot person after they get the organ. There doesn't seem to be any support out there that supports donors who suffer health issues following a transplant. Here is just one of the articles that I am referring too. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/07/02/155979681/orga...
I just wonder with all of your resources would you be able to help me find some organization that helps living donors with the finacial and insurance situtations they have after donating a life saving organ to someone else.
Hoping maybe someone can help me help my daughter and her family
My grandson, Vincent Cordova, age 11, wanted me to send you a joke that he made up at breakfast the other morning.
"Where does a virtual astronaut go to have a drink"?

Thank you for all you do for people and my family loves you and your show. Deborah Venor
Hi Ellen I just wrote you but it didn't go through haha. I am turning 50 July 2nd and I'm asking my daughter for an ipad I asked for one on mothers day but nothing. What I'm asking of you is you must have connections with ipad and I think my daughter can't afford it so I was wondering if you could send me a coupon for a discount { Like 20% } for one and I can give it to her. I live alone and had brain surgery and don't work anymore that's why I can't buy one myself Didn't want you to think I was mean. Also she is 18 in school and works.I hope this isn't rude. And if it is I'm sorry and disregard this but I hope I'm not being rude. Love and prayers Linda xoxo

I can never seem to get through any of your forms to be able to contact you or enter any of your contests. After I fill out your forms, when I try to submit, nothing happens. I am 82 years old and not very computer savvy. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Ellen,
I am super nervous to write to you but I have to do this. I have a friend who's name is Alfonso Perez. He lives in Alpine, TX. It is a very small town! Anyway, He wrote something on Facebook about how he came out the closet in his early teen years (He is about 28-29 yrs. old now) He is upset because he has never gone to a gay bar or gay march or gay anything really....Anyway I love you and watch you at wk (don't tell my boss) so, I decided to write to you and ask for your help! I don't know what else to write lol. Um...hes awesome and wants to be around people who CLEARLY understand him and in a small town like Alpine, TX; he wont find that! Anyway, thank you! Love you always!!! Lounelly (you can call me Luna since my name is a tongue twister)
