Dear Ellen,
I know you receive so many request for help from people all over the world. I watch your show as much as I can. I am the head of my household and I work 20 hours out of 24 hours per day to support my family because I don't have any help at all. I have always been a hard worker but the older I get the harder it gets. Even though I am going through trails and tribulations with being homeless several times, lost of cars, no food or place to sleep i still continue to serve those who are as less fortune as I am. I work real hard and still have nothing that it sometimes take me into an depression. How I go through the depression is I sing and dance and I try to find steve harvey on youtube to laugh along with watching your shows that make me laugh. When I do that i feel like its not that bad. The reason for my writing is not for pitty but for some help if you can or someone that you can recommend. See I will work for anything i have if I could just get a job that will hire me as an older person. I have know experience ageism. I been selling cars and very good at it because I talk to people, make them laugh be honest with them about purchasing but life has thrown me a curb ball because everyone in the car business now is of course men and young, i mean real young. I have a lot of talent. I know finances, I know how the different products of cars are and if I don't know I tell the customers I will get that information because I believe in being helpful. I just recently volunteer with the Smith Charities event that is ran by Emmitt Smith and Pat Smith. This charity helps youth excel and give them opportunity to go to college and become productive citizens. I have been a volunteer for 7 years. I feel that I must give to society some way even if I am homeless. Last Christmas my grandson and my children and I were homeless and I finally found a one bedroom apartment. I promise that I would work every day but I was going to build a house for my family and my mom who is 71 and don't have a place to live either.
The story goes my father died in 2003 and left us very homeless and not knowing how to survive. He left us nothing and didn't know what to do. One thing I can say is that I am a fighter and determine not to fail but God knows I wish someone would help me just a little. I don't have all kinds of youtubes but im humble and honest and need help. I just want my little family to have a home a roof. Please help me live a legacy for my children and my grandson.
