Since I had him I lost my job, my apartment, my freedom. I would love just a weekend to myself but I know that is a dream, also one of your makeovers would be great too - hint hint I could really use one!

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!

HI TYRA!!

my name is Christopher. Im a young gay man (I turn 21 in a couple weeks) living in southwest Pennsylvania in a little town called Johnstown.

I idolize you girl! You are SOOO fierce. I have studied and perfected the "Tyra walk" LOL. I watch The Tyra Show every day at noon and every Wednesday my eyes are glued to Americas Next Top Model.

Since I was 18 Ive been performing as a drag queen in local and surrounding bars and clubs. I even compete in pageantry. Im a former Miss Gay Teen Pittsburgh.

Id like to continue taking the road Ive chosen but my teeth/smile hold me back. My parents divorced when I was very young. My mother was never able to afford insurance for me to get them fixed. I remember once when i was about nine, she was actually able to get insurance, however the insurance was bogus. NO dentist would accept the insurance.

As a young teenager growing up in a more rural, conservative area, naturally discrimination was a part of my life. I went through a very rebellious stage because of it. I got heavy into heroin (as well as many other drugs) at the age of 15 and continued till I was almost 18. Im happy to say Ive been clean for over 3 years now. I know however because of the heavy drug use, my teeth have suffered from that as well. Im genetically missing 8 teeth. aside from that I have 6 cavities and 2 teeth that jus "fell out" for no reason. Im noticing more cavities forming. Ive stopped taking care of my teeth like I used to because I think "whats the point? theres nothing nice about my teeth anyway."

My friends tell me Im a great person and quite a comedian. I enjoy entertaining people and making people laugh and love themselves more for who they are. Thats why I do drag. Ive always wanted to get into photography and modeling. Id love to get into TV too. But like you say Tyra.. the real world is cruel and will judge on things most people wouldnt even think about.

Now in my dream world. Youll be calling me at home screaming in my ear "GIRL IM FIXING YOUR TEETH AND YOUR GONNA BE ON THE SHOW!!" LOL but I dont expect that. But, maybe if you could write me back and give me some encouraging words.. that would be jus as great.

Oh and by the way. I have a younger sister who will be attending college in Pittsburgh and we know that ANTM casting drops by every year around march.. She is GORGEOUS and I know shell be one of your next 13 girls. LOL

Thanks for listening Tyra. You're an inspiration to all that you can be beautiful, smart, sexy, and succesful, but still be a REAL person

Love you Tyra!
I'm a mother of two who has always been unblessed when it comes to the chest area. After having my two beautiful children I lost what little I had to start with. I'd never give up those gifts of life but it would be such a blessing to have a gift for myself in that area. I try to ask for little but this has been this one thing I've always wished for. It always seems like money is tight and when we have any money to spare it goes to what the kids need. It would just be so nice to catch a break and obtain this one thing. You've touched so many people and it's been so great to watch, I imagine myself being blessed as these other girls. It would so greatly improve my little self esteem and motivate me to go out more with my husband to nice resturants or out to the lake. I dread putting on a nice dress or even a swim suit. PLEASE HELP!!

Dear tyra,
i have always wanted to meet My Chemical Romance backstage at their show!!! Before they go onstage for their show, i would love to do their routine warm ups with them!! i would love to do jumping jacks and all those other crazy things they do before they go on with them!! then after, i would love to just chill and talk about popsicles!!!!

HI Tyra,, my name is Misty and i have always wanted to go sky diving,, or jump of a really bigg building like bungie jumping or meet Criss Angle,, i love him but not as much as you,, oh i have so many crazzzzzzy things i want to do,, but being poor that might not happen,, i hope it will i still have hope,, but i love you tyra your the best,,,,,,,,,,,

My wish isn't for myself. My mother-in-law is an amazing woman. She opened her house and her family when I was kicked out of my mom's house. She has raised three children and continues to support them any way that she can. She recently commented to me that she didn't remember the last time that she had had a vacation where she could get away for longer than a day. She has three horses, two dogs, and for the last couple of months been taking care of my twenty-four toed cat. She told me that she's always wanted to go on a cruise but couldnt because there was no one to take care of the pets. Well my husband and I are home now and I wanted to send her on a cruise where all she has to do is take care of herself and forget about all of us at home for a little while.

Hi tyra...Something that I always wanted to do is walk on a runway in newyork or california somewhere. My big dream since I was younger is to become a high fashion model. I'm tottaly and completely in love with the lights, camera, and action!!! I've also always wanted to have a chance to be on your show just to meet you, you've been my inspiration for a very long time.

Hi Tyra
My name is Naliah and for as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a model.At 19 I became a mom and since then I have been struggling to raise my son on my own with the help of welfare and family support. It has been hard and overwhelming and I always told myself that one day I would pursue my dreams again but between raising my son, going to school, and trying work my dreams have been put on hold and every day they seem less and less realistic. The I turn on your show and for that hour I know that I can make it happen but I need your help Tyra to give my son a better life and not become another stastic. If you were to help me I would forever be grateful and never forget. Please assist me and any way you can it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Hi Tyra,
My name is Naliah I am a 21 year old single mom raising my son on welfare. Every since as long as I can remember I wanted to be a model it is something that I am very passionate about and I can't imagine anything that would make me happier. I watch both of your shows all the time every time I watch top model I cry because I know that I should be there but my financial problems prevent me from doing what I know in my heart I was born to do. Please Tyra help me make my dreams come true and not become another stastic and for this I will forever be grateful.
Love always your biggest fan, Naliah
