Regardless of gender, background, age, and ethnicity, there is nothing that bears more importance than the conservation of health and access to adequate healthcare. My friend and KC Thunder Entertainment founder, Kassim Carney, says that it is time to stand up and give back to our community by supporting the Healthcare Initiative. I hope you could join in the effort by contributing sponsorship, donations, attendance, and support to the benefit concert upcoming in June 2008 under the premise of Yes We Can. A portion of the proceeds of this assembly would be donated towards free health care programs. Carney is currently putting his greatest resources to collaborate with celebrity artists to create an event that draws our nation together; because Together We Can raise enough capital to produce an event that will unify our community in a paramount way.
KC Thunder Entertainment is striving to donate to programs that serve the poor, homeless, and uninsured. Grants and donations barely sustain these clinics as it is. Community health clinics personify hope, despite the poor condition of the current healthcare system in the United States. Even people working full time for minimum wage salaries can barely qualify for welfare and most certainly cannot afford appropriate health insurance. In addition to rising healthcare costs and the increasing population of uninsured Americans, economic and ethnic inequalities in medicine persist. As a consequence, our children and underprivileged are more likely to have poor health and die prematurely.
The goal is to promote change and to bring about awareness of the need for healthcare reform right here in the heart of America. As June is approaching, please consider this cause worthy of your participation.
Thank you.

Hi Tyra! My name is Kaitlyn. I am 20 years old and an older sister to 2 sisters and 1 brother. My family is very close and mean everything to me. My sister natalie and i are best friends. we have our moments but in the end, nothing can separate us. This dream isnt for me, but for her. While growing up, Natalie has been passionate over one thing... she raps. Since Natalie was 13 years old, she has written 100's of songs, recorded 2 cds, and performed in a couple spots over AZ. People always try to bring her down because not only is she a girl but shes white. once people see her, they boo her or laugh at her... besides all their comments, my sister pushes forward to perform and in the end, EVERYONE is clapping her up and begging for more. she has an amazing talent and my only dream is to see her happy. And i know the only thing that would make her happy is for people to take her seriously and give her a chance. I hope you can help us both in ONE gift. Shes an amazing person and an even better sister. I love her with all my heart and hope one day, she gets to show the world that even wth people doubting you, if you have the passion and love for what you do, anything is possible. Thanks so much!
God Bless,
Kaitlyn

Hey Tyra,

Let me start off by saying you are an amazing person. Many girls look up to you. My name is Jade. I am 15. There are many things I want to do. However, their is one thing I want to change. I want to change my shyness. My shyness has hurt me. People tease me at school. It is real hard. I would like to have a makeover. This would really bring me out. I also really like Chris Brown. His music is great. He inspires me to reach for the stars. Thanks again.

Jade

Tyra,
Say HELLO to America's Next Hott Actress(With your help of course)Okay, so I have always wanted to be an very, very famous actress. The only experience I have is what I've learned from watching ang judging other actresses. I'm friendly, I love to laugh, I'm emotional, and I learn fast, an overall lovable person. Oh yeah, I am extremely beautiful too, I did'nt want to toot my own horn(Too late for that, huh?). There are so many things I see myself doing for the industry. I have not seen anyone that represents who I am or where I come from. My story is Important and it needs to be heard. Honestly, I feel so out of place in this little town I live in. I know my Star is GOING to shine one day. I need a woman of your knowledge and experience to help me out though.You won't regret it, I just need a little of Momma's guidance and I'll take it from there. Acting is like second nature to me I often catch myself rehearsing movie lines like "I can do it better than she did." I watch alot of movies and I critize the emotion in the actresses if I feel it is'nt right I redo it my own way saying "This is how I would've did the scene." So if for some reason my path does'nt cross acting I would make a great critic:)Give me a one in a million chance to put my money where my mouth is and act my booty off like I KNOW I can. Pretty, pretty, pretty, please! I'll love, respect, and admire u 4-ever! Toya remeber me

Dear Tyra,

My name is Jade Isaacs. I am 15. I am a sophomore in high school. I am extremely shy. I have always wanted to get rid of my shyness. Others teens tease me at school. They call me socially awkward. Two of my biggest dreams would be to get a full makeover and to meet Chris Brown. I feel these two things would make me more outgoing. Thanks again Tyra. You are great!!!

Ms Tyra Banks
Let me start off by saying my wife and I love your show. We watch your show everynightas apart of our QT (quality time). But the real reason for my letter to you is Tyra I need your help to make my wife and I dream come true. My wife wants to have a tubal ligation reversal. She wants so badly to have another baby. She got her tubes tied when she had her last bundle of joy Asche'Lynn who is now about to turn three in june. She say she did it because she was tired of dead beat dads, but if she knew she was going to meet a man like myself and get married to him she would have never got her tubes tied. I met my wife three months after she had her baby girl, and the man I am I stepped in this childs life and became her father and her other daughter also but her baby girl has never seen or heard from her real father. The only person she knows as her father is me and that's the way we will keep it since we ended up getting married. My wife and I have been married for almost a year now and we have talked and decided that this is something she really wants to do is have another baby. As her husdand I want to make my wife happy but we have done the research and this is a very expensive surgery. It is anywhere from 4,000 to 7,000 dollars. Money we can not seem to start saving because of the need to take care of our family we have now. We have even looked for insurence that will cover this and have not found any. This is a dead end street Tyra I need your help to make me and my wife's dream come true. My wife gets so depressed whenshe see people who are pregnant ad when she sees a newborn baby because she really wants another baby so bad. Please yra help us please if i could I would get down on my knees and beg you for your help I would, cause I would do anything to make my wife happy and make her dreams come ture of haveing another baby or more kids. Oh yes i have tired and thought that I was mach man and say I can beat thru those tubes and make a baby but I have com to face the factthat I can't bust thru and i need help with this. If she gets this done Tyra she could conceive a child within the next month after the procedure. So Tyra please please help us and me make her this dream of hers come true please, Tyra

Hey Tyra. I love you. I watch your show everyday. You are an idol to so many people. My dream is to be a hairdresser. While I was in high school, I received my licenses but really did not learn anything and thought I should go to college instead of entering the work field. Now I am working a dead end job and am not happy at all. I have been out of high school for five years now and I don't know how to get in the salon since it has been so long since i have done anything with hair. I have kept my license renewed and have contacted a few schools about getting some hands on training but all of them say since i have my licence i can not come there. What do I need to do to accomplish my dream of being a hairdresser.

Hi Tyra,
My name is Michelle, i was reading everybody else's story and saying to my self its alot to read and thingking what would make you want to read my. I'm not the type to ask for help willing even if my back is against the wall. Buti'm asking for a little help in starting my dream salon, i have written up a business plan to take to my bank, inquire about loans which is best and i also have a drawing of what the salon is to look like. All i need is a start. Thank you

I just closed my shop a Bridal Boutique because its what what been helping my family since it openned up in Jan 06,04 it was the one thing that kinda held everything and everyone together. I asking for a little help getting my dream salon off the ground. I've started my Business plan and going around to find out how to get even a loan. I just need a start, a push. Thank you ( I like when you do goofy stuff and make funny faces on TV).
