I love making wishes come true, so if there is something you have always wanted to do - tell me about it! The crazier your wish, the more likely it is that I might make it happen!

Dear Tyra, One thing that I not only wish but always dreamed of, to participate in the "Study Abroad Program" that my school offers for a small select group of culinary students in the Bachelors degree program. I firmly believe that it will be beneficial to my culinary/hospitality career. I will gain experience and knowledge that will prepare me for my ultimate goal: to become an international chef. My goal for participating in this culinary program is to discover new and exciting cuisines while exploring different cultures. I decided to take advantage of this opportunity because I know that every situation at this point in my career is a once in a lifetime opportunity. As a twenty- eight year old single mother of two girls 8yrs & 4 mouths old, I realize that I am building blocks to teach my girls not to put limits on your level of success. I doubt that another beneficial opportunity such as this will arise. I expect that this experience will be a stepping stone to my career. Tyra whatever it takes, I'll make you a gourmet dinner or some down home comfort food or if you like you could do a Tyra show segment featuring me as I fulfil my dream to study abroad with help from Tyra. I have overcome many obstacles and some major setbacks in the past 2 yrs and have met all academic requirements, but I need financial support. PLEASE HELP!!

II have a family of 6 at home.I have a 15 yearold who has a 3 month son and thinks she is fat and very ugly as a person. My son is 14 he is into nothing but video games all the time. Then there is my 13
year old daughter who thinks her teeth and her looks are all bad. I think my kids are wonderful. I also think there is nothing wrong with them at all. But they go on what evetyone else says. I think if my kids could get out or just all of us relax together as a family maybe they would think differently about themselves. Please help me a very grateful mother. I love all of my kids and I think there is nothing wrong at all with them.I just want my kids to one good time of their lives to remember.

Tyra, I have a family of 6 at home. The first one is a 15 year old daughter who has a 3 month son.Then I have a 14 year old son who is nothing but a game junky. I have a 13 year old daughter as well. My 13 year old thinks she has bad teeth and is not pretty. My son I wish he would do something but games all day. Then there is my 15 year old daughter who gave me a grandson. She thinks she no longer has a life any more and then there is she thinks she is very fat and very ugly just because she doesn't like the looks of herself. I see nothing wrong with any of them. But they go on what everyone else thinks of them. Is there anything you can do to help make my kids think better of them selves that I can't do? We have not had a vacation in like 10 or so years. We just can't afford it at all. My income is only 1020.00 to raise a family of 6 on. So I have a limited amount of money. They think so down of them selves sometimes I worry about all of them. If you could help my kids out to make them feel better about their selves anything at all. I would be very grateful about anything at all. Then they have not even met their step-beothers at all. My husband has 3 other sons and they don't even know about each other I don't even know where they are anymore. I wish I could make everything better for my family, but there is nothing I can do. Please help my family out to make everything better us all!!

Hi Tyra!
I am a 21 year old senior at UofL in Kentucky. My wish is to attend Design School and work in the fashion industry. I have been drawing beautiful clothes in my sketchbooks since I was about eleven years old. I love to design clothes for women to wear beautifully, but this is only in my head and on paper. I believe that the tyoe of training I would recive from a design institute would help me achieve my personal dream and goals. I wanted to attend a fashion institute when I graduated from high school, but my father said, "NO WAY". I was forced to attend a local college here in Kentucky and forfeit my dream. I am taking classes to become a teacher and it is certainly my second choice. Even if you cannot help me with my wish, I would appreciate any advice about funding my dream myself. I pay for everything (including college and living expenses) by myself. I love fashion and you of course ;) who doesn't? I mean Victoria's Secret catalogs my mom got in the mail were my fashion gateway drug to Vogue.lol Thank you for your time!
Love Always,
Tori

Dear Tyra,
Hello, My name is Jessica, and I am a mother of 3, I have always been very ambitious, and I have a dream of creating a very successful business. I always have all of these ideas, but due to my depression, I find myself dragging my feet, and not following through with my business ideas. I do however, have a very large inventory of quality, fine, authentic jewelry, that I plan on offering at 75% off the original retail and appraised value. If I could only pick one dream to fulfill, it would be to help others. After watching your recent show, that aired on April 2nd, with the girls from the make a wish foundation, I was deeply inspired by Kiera, , who desires to make and create her own jewelry, I would like to meet her if possible, and donate a diamond bracelet to her,(to help inspire her even more!) some info that I found on the web regarding kids starting their own jewelry business, and a book or DVD which features every gemstone, so she will have the background and knowledge of jewelry. I believe that everyone deserves beautiful pieces that only one could dream to afford. So my ultimate goal is to get my website up and running to offer these fabulous pieces, that are now obtainable to people who could not other wise afford. Please contact me, if you can, and let me know if i could possibly come on your show, and meet Kiera, she is a big inspiration to me, and she taught me, as sick as she is, that if she can even pursue her dreams, I can too, and not let anything get in my way. i would like to donate a beautiful , authentic diamond bracelet to her, and as I said above, the other information that would help her to make her dream a reality and a success.
Thank you so much Tyra and staff for taking the time to read this, I know that you are overwhelmed with people's comments and requests, but if you could help me, to help someone else, I would be truly grateful. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

So my name is Marques. I rani nto one of oyur staff members on the streets of New YOrk. Anyway. I just had the opportunity for my music to get picked up.
Seems as if the cosmic order of things is working in my favor. I am basically writting to tell you of my journey thus far in New YOrk City.
I came to visit for a week but has quickly turned into my dropping out of college and become a professional Artist (Music) in the community. I am now 4 months into living in New YOrk City.
I didn't know anyone when I arrived and a Swedish woman by the name of Malin allowed me to live with her and her Family in Willamsburg.
After that I did some work with some members of TV on the Radio and as of this moment I am working on my first full-length.
Here's a link to some of it.

Hi! Tyra,
My name is Sandra and I really admire you for making people wishes come true. There are so many people with wishes and I pray that you get to read mine. I always had this problem with one of my eyes, when I was a baby one of my eyes got burn with some chimical and I'm not able to see really well with that eye. Everything looks blury, but I can see ok with my other eye. I use contacts to cover it. I also have pretty bad teeth. My mother was a single mother with 4 kids who was trying to put food on the table.She didn't have money for anything else and I don't blame her, she is a great mama. Im married and I'm 24 now and I have a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter named Alexandra. She is so beautiful and I wanted her to feel that she has a pretty mama. I want for her,my husband, and myself to feel proud of me. I want to go back to college but I don't have selfstem cause I don't look right I know is dum but I really feel that way. Tyra, I will really apreciate it if u can help me on this, look I even pay u back, we really can't pay for this I'm not from here but my husband and daughter are from the US. My husband is the only one who works and the money is for bills and for our baby girl, well she is 5 but she will always be my baby, and I'm a stay home mama and proud of it.Well I'm probably boring you by now sorry.
Thank you Tyra for taking time to read this.God blessed you.

Dear Tyra,
I don,t want anything. I just wanted to say, "I love to watch your show. I love what you did for those eight little girls. And, I look forward to watching you for a long time. You are a wonderful person with a big heart. We need more people like you in this world. I don,t have the means to make wishes come true for people, but I try to help as much as I can."
I have my seventh grandchild coming in May of this year and I can,t wait. My children and grandchildren are my life. I am 48 yrs. old and I,m thankful that I am in good enough health to be able to spend time with them and make some beautiful memories with them. You are wonderful and I know you will always be blessed. Don,t ever change a thing about yourself. Thanks for being you!

I have been drawing beautiful clothes in my sketchbooks since I was about eleven years old. I love to design clothes for women to wear beautifully, but this is only in my head and on paper. I believe that the tyoe of training I would recive from a design institute would help me achieve my personal dream and goals. I wanted to attend a fashion institute when I graduated from high school, but my father said, "NO WAY". I was forced to attend a local college here in Kentucky and forfeit my dream. I am taking classes to become a teacher and it is certainly my second choice. Even if you cannot help me with my wish, I would appreciate any advice about funding my dream myself. I pay for everything (including college and living expenses) by myself. I love fashion and you of course ;) who doesn't? I mean Victoria's Secret catalogs my mom got in the mail were my fashion gateway drug to Vogue.lol Thank you for your time!
Love Always,
Tori

Dear Tyra,
Hello, My name is Jessica, and I am a mother of 3, I have always been very ambitious, and I have a dream of creating a very successful business. I always have all of these ideas, but due to my depression, I find myself dragging my feet, and not following through with my business ideas. I do however, have a very large inventory of quality, fine, authentic jewelry, that I plan on offering at 75% off the original retail and appraised value. If I could only pick one dream to fulfill, it would be to help others. After watching your recent show, that aired on April 2nd, with the girls from the make a wish foundation, I was deeply inspired by Kiera, , who desires to make and create her own jewelry, I would like to meet her if possible, and donate a diamond bracelet to her,(to help inspire her even more!) some info that I found on the web regarding kids starting their own jewelry business, and a book or DVD which features every gemstone, so she will have the background and knowledge of jewelry. I believe that everyone deserves beautiful pieces that only one could dream to afford. So my ultimate goal is to get my website up and running to offer these fabulous pieces, that are now obtainable to people who could not other wise afford. Please contact me, if you can, and let me know if i could possibly come on your show, and meet Kiera, she is a big inspiration to me, and she taught me, as sick as she is, that if she can even pursue her dreams, I can too, and not let anything get in my way. i would like to donate a beautiful , authentic diamond bracelet to her, and as I said above, the other information that would help her to make her dream a reality and a success.
Thank you so much Tyra and staff for taking the time to read this, I know that you are overwhelmed with people's comments and requests, but if you could help me, to help someone else, I would be truly grateful. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

So my name is Marques. I rani nto one of oyur staff members on the streets of New YOrk. Anyway. I just had the opportunity for my music to get picked up.
Seems as if the cosmic order of things is working in my favor. I am basically writting to tell you of my journey thus far in New YOrk City.
I came to visit for a week but has quickly turned into my dropping out of college and become a professional Artist (Music) in the community. I am now 4 months into living in New YOrk City.
I didn't know anyone when I arrived and a Swedish woman by the name of Malin allowed me to live with her and her Family in Willamsburg.
After that I did some work with some members of TV on the Radio and as of this moment I am working on my first full-length.
Here's a link to some of it.

Hi! Tyra,
My name is Sandra and I really admire you for making people wishes come true. There are so many people with wishes and I pray that you get to read mine. I always had this problem with one of my eyes, when I was a baby one of my eyes got burn with some chimical and I'm not able to see really well with that eye. Everything looks blury, but I can see ok with my other eye. I use contacts to cover it. I also have pretty bad teeth. My mother was a single mother with 4 kids who was trying to put food on the table.She didn't have money for anything else and I don't blame her, she is a great mama. Im married and I'm 24 now and I have a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter named Alexandra. She is so beautiful and I wanted her to feel that she has a pretty mama. I want for her,my husband, and myself to feel proud of me. I want to go back to college but I don't have selfstem cause I don't look right I know is dum but I really feel that way. Tyra, I will really apreciate it if u can help me on this, look I even pay u back, we really can't pay for this I'm not from here but my husband and daughter are from the US. My husband is the only one who works and the money is for bills and for our baby girl, well she is 5 but she will always be my baby, and I'm a stay home mama and proud of it.Well I'm probably boring you by now sorry.
Thank you Tyra for taking time to read this.God blessed you.

Dear Tyra,
I don,t want anything. I just wanted to say, "I love to watch your show. I love what you did for those eight little girls. And, I look forward to watching you for a long time. You are a wonderful person with a big heart. We need more people like you in this world. I don,t have the means to make wishes come true for people, but I try to help as much as I can."
I have my seventh grandchild coming in May of this year and I can,t wait. My children and grandchildren are my life. I am 48 yrs. old and I,m thankful that I am in good enough health to be able to spend time with them and make some beautiful memories with them. You are wonderful and I know you will always be blessed. Don,t ever change a thing about yourself. Thanks for being you!
Jeany
