Add your own commentHi Oprah- May I say I've watched your show for many years and have not stopped. But you will be missed. Also to let you know it brings me happy tears how you will help and give away stuff to others. You are a true remarkable woman! May the rest of your years bring more blessings and joy.
Oprah we are not freeloaders or beggers. my husband is 45 and has worked since age 16. i am 48 and to worked since age 16 tomorrow is my birthday and we are about to loose our home anyday now due to no work. 7 yrs. ago we were able to move away from the ghetto, we are already 2 months behind and started selling everything we could find to make that 3 payment which comes with foreclosure proceedings. we dont come from a rich family i am from maryland and my husband Grenada. all my life i wanted to do something that has never been done in my family which is past down our house to our kids. rarely do black kids get a start like that in life they usually have to struggle just for the down payment.if you see foot to help us we will make up a contract to somehow pay you back. i have cried so much i made myself sick and had to be hospitalized i am diabetic and hypertensive.i pray so hard to God that somebody will have a heart and want to help us.Thanks deebonnie@aol.com
I just saw the laptop giveaway in Australia, I am proud that people like you exist. You know where you came from, and its so great to see you pay it forward. We are living in a great time in history, I was enthralled to see the self worth of many people appreciate at the last Presedential election, I still see some people saying "I still cant believe it." We are even closer to the day where people are not seen by the hue of their flesh, but by the content of their soul! Being of Native American descent, I have witnessed the stupidity of ignorance myself. God bless ya, and continue to fight the Good Fight.
People can not seem to understand that sometimes God brings someone into your life that means more to you than anyone. A friend who listens to you, understands you, laughs and cries with you. This one person you can trust above all others. This one person who never judges you and stands by you through thick and thin. I too, have been blessed with a friend like that and even though she moved to Florida and I stayed in Tennessee we still talk almost daily and visit as often as we can. We have been best friends for over 30 years and I thank God for bringing her into my life. We are not gay either. That kind of talk just shows how stupid people can be.
Hi Oprah, I have watch your show for a long time. You are so real and true to people. You give with all your heart. You have come a long way and I look up to you for the loving and giving lady you have become. I just wish I was on one of your shows where your give so much away. I love to see you give people stuff cause it makes you so happy. You can see the joy in your face.Will miss your shows from now on but will never forget you. GOD BLESS YOU Connie Moore Wilson, N.C.
Oprah Winfrey For 6 years I have tryed to ask you one question but I can"t not find you or no one will answer me. I would like an e/mail address or a phone number if you will let me ask you one question. My e/mail is jailbird698@aool.com thanks and god bless
Oprah, I have written you letters since 2000 and have never received a reply. My story has to do with WW11. I wanted the survivors of this tragedy to be honored on your show. I also felt telling our story on your show would make more people aware of what happened. We still have over 600 families who have never learned how their loved ones died. I'm talking about the biggest loss of American troops in WW11 history that was kept secret for over 50 years. Please go to our web site www. rohnasurvivors.org to read this story. If you ever decide to do any something about WW11 please consider the story about The HMT Rohna. I know you will be doing many things after your show ends. Please consider our story. We are also in contact with the family of the German pilot ************ the remote -controlled glider bomb that sunk this ship. They have attended our reunions with a heart felt apology. We are losing our WW11 Vets at a rapid pace. Janet Delude, rohna1943@aol.com
oprah, I was passing by a pet shop today when I saw a small(very small) crowd of people with signs protesting the pet shop with signs saying puppy mills kill and that you said it. So this small group of people are following what you say. I understand that the puppy mills are terrible breeders the conditions that these animal are breeded under are extremely poor. So... they should be protesting the mills not the pet shops, I understand that these pet shops buy the puppies from these mills but how else are these puppies going to find homes (they're already there in the store) if they 're outside protesting , most people won't cross a picket line. so maybe next time you do a show on puppy mills maybe you could mention not to picket the pet shop, but picket the mill itself. Where do you think these animals will end up if noone purchases them?!
