We received a very sweet letter from a viewer in Wisconsin,
who wrote in to tell us about her mom.
She says, dear Ellen, my mom and I look forward to watching your show everyday.
It's something we bond over and every time we watch it she says,
it would be my dream to go and see her show.
My mom was a single mother for many years and
did everything she could to take care of her three kids.
She's the most amazing person I know and I want to give back to her for
all she's done for us.
Love Theresa.
So we sent Jeanie to Wisconsin and earlier today she surprised Theresa, take a look.
>> Hi Ellen.
I'm here outside of Eileen and Theresa's house.
Now Eileen is at work at Kohl's and we found out that Theresa's at home so
we thought we would stop by.
Let's go.

[SOUND] >> Aah!
>> Hi, Teresa!
So we know that you wrote in about your momma, right?
>> Mm-hm. >> And you told us how incredible she is.
>> Yeah. >> And how wonderful she is and
how the only thing she wants in the whole wide world is to come and
see a taping of Ellen.

You're the most amazing company ever!
[LAUGH] >> Well,
your daughter told- >> They've done so
much for me, they're incredible!
>> Your daughter wrote in she told us that you want to come to a taping, so
she also said you're the most selfless that she knows.
I know that you offer to work hours for other people when they can't work and
when the family member is sick and Kohl's loves you as much as you love them, and
they wanted to say, thank you for all you have done with a $5000 Kohl's gift card.
[APPLAUSE] >> My God!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
>> You're welcome.
Thank you Kohl's.
>> Thank you so much.
My god, this is such a dream.
>> Jeanie?
Jeanie, something's, they're saying the connection is bad in there.
Do you have a jacket for her?
Cuz you have to move outside for some reason.
>> Yeah.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Okay.
>> We gotta go outside?
>> I just don't want her to be cold, cuz, yeah,
well the connection is bad in here I guess.
Just put a jacket on first.
>> Come over here, and we're gonna put this coat, okay, Lovey?
>> Okay.
>> Come on, let's go outside we'll get a better connection.
We'll be able to connect a little better out here.
Bad connection, so go ahead.
>> Okay.
>> Here we go.
>> Okay, so do me a favor, hey, Eileen.
>> Is this better Ellen?
>> Yeah, that's better.
>> Are we good here?
>> Eileen?
That jacket that you have on.
>> Yeah.
>> Can you just reach in the pockets and see what's in there?
>> My gosh.
