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!

Ms. Tyra, I have always wanted to skydive. I was in the Air Force (security forces) HOOAH!! I have since separated. My hubs is still in same career field and we are still crazy competetors. He will have the oppertunity to be jump certified and I'm pretty jealous over him doing what I always wanted to do.

Dear Tyra,
I'm Nathalie Beckley and I know what your thinking when you see this, oh dear another e-mail... but this isn't just something i want to do for the fun of it. you have been known about the things you do in my family. Especially your recent motives. i do like what you do, but i'm going to be honest, i know and like what you do, watch your shows if its on. i like you as person from what i have seen, you have done good things for people. Not to beat around the bush, i will like to ask a request. hopefully if your the one reading this i might have a direct impact on your decision, but if its one off the staff, please have the patience to read this and pass this on to tyra. For some years now my mother Staneala whose a singe mother from Sierra Leone (West Africa) has been sick but not sick enough to knock on deaths door or so i thought. She has what i think they call thyroid, its basically the thyroid glands blowing up like a balloon. if not dealt with in time that balloon will pop and i guess i do not need to say the rest. i have been trying to get her to go and do the operation in a country that i can trust that they will do the job well. She has been reluctant to do anything because of her fear to go under the knife as well as the cost, but recently told me that she will do it. reading between the lines i 'm guessing it has gotten worse. In case you are wondering, i'm in college now in california, studying fashion design at the Academy of Art University. i'm doing an AA, which was not what we planned, but due to circumstances it came about . My mother works in the UN as an educationist, but will retire in a few of months, meaning that she will be not in a good situation to pay my fees as the UN payed 75% of the fees all this while. My mother is sacrificing her life by using the money that she should spend on her health on me. its not a good feeling being at college knowing my mother is sick and needs medical attention. i feel guilty, spoiled and rotten. She has taken care of my cousins years ago by putting them in good secondary schools and colleges and paying for it. She believes in education, especially when it comes to girls, which what her work is about. With that i would like you to ask if you can help me take the burden of my mothers shoulders and help pay for my fees for a year. i believe that she can use the money that will not be spent on my feels and go have real medical attention, She Actaully plans to go to the UK and have it there, but having linving in the UK once i know there dreadful cost of medical expenses if your not from there. please help me. its a lot to take into consideration, but i won't mind a helping hand.
Thank you for your patience and time.
sincerely

hello tyra, my name is charity. i group up in a not so lovely home. my mother put me through many hard ships in my life. i also put myself through many. i went through mental facilities. and rehab. i was sexual abused many times in my life. my father is a drug addict. he helped me get addicted to many drugs at the age of 13. i was not allowed to live in my mothers home many times through my life. i had to drop out of high school because i ended up going to 11 different schools. making it impossible to graduate. i am now pregnant at the age of 17. the boy left. i am trying really hard to be happy with myself. it becomes very hard at times. most of my family does not believe in me. but i do. and my sister emily. it is hard when everyone is telling you that you cannot do it. i always thought of being a model. i wanted for a very long time watching your show hoping that i could be americas next top model. but by chance i started sewing. my grandmother bought me my first sewing machine. i hoped that my mother would teach me. unfortunately i was always a disappointment to my mother. never good enough. she never taught me. i taught myself. and i started to really love sewing. i used to sell things i made at my school. and i make my own designs. my mother has seven chlidren. and i am one the she looks badly upon. i went through the child protective services. the foster home system. and many other homes, and shelters. right now there is no form of money for me to go to college. and i have a baby on the way. i have to raise this child on my own. i know that i am intellegent. i know that i can do this. i have the design. i am very artistic. that was one way i made it through so many hard times. i dont know how. but i want to be a fashion designer. i have most of the world against me. i know, that with positivity, and a good heart i can do it. i am not trashy. getting pregnant was not in my plans. but i am not ashamed. i am going to have a beautiful baby. the reason i am in this situation is because i have always just wanted someone to love me. to really care for me. to keep there promises to me. and so i will believe anyone i have to. just trying to find some form of care from a person. unfortunately i have not found that. other than my big sister, emily. she has been the best person in my life. she always believed in me. even when i didnt believe in myself. i have put her through alot. and we both know that i shouldnt be alive today other than the grace of god. i have to have surgery i have been told on my heart. i need surgery on my back, from physical abuse. i have water in my lungs. i was almost dead from attempts to drown me. i have almost died in hospitals from drug and alcohol over dose. and suicide attempts on my life. right now i am in a very happy place. i am going to have a beautiful child. and all of that is behind me. the problem is, that these things formed my future. causing things to be difficult for me. i have no idea how it would be possible for me to become a designer, what i would like with a small store selling my designs. i want so much to help my grandmother, do what i can. she put herself in debt for me. and will more than likely never be able to retire. she has sacrificed so much to help me. and i cant prove to her how she helped me. well i did ramble alot. but please reply, give me a chance to let you know more about me. i would like you to be able to see what i look like. since i know what you look like. love, charity

Hey there! I am 24, 5'1, 119 lbs. I am a realistic looking, petite lady. I really want to model, yet I am too short. I would really like to know who would actually want me. The only people that have any interest are wanting me nude. Would anyone actually take me seriously and see my potential? I have Fibromyalgia and it is very bothersom, yet the thought of entertaining sooths my soul. I feel as though this is my calling. I feel everything wrong in this world melt away when I entertaine. I would love to use entertainment as a platform to educate the world about my disease just as most models have in the past. I want to become a house hold name. With that, I feel others would be more willing to hear my message. Please help me in my crusade. -hugs!

Hi Tyra, I love your watching your two shows. My wish is to produce my own Music Televsion channel that acctually plays music videos and not just the top 20. Also has groups and artists on for a concert interview series. Its seems the current music channels have all gone the way of reality crap. I also would have an entertainment news program that only focussed on positive things celebrities were doing and fire anyone who comes in with a Britany Spears story. Maybe it would run Entertainment Tonight and Extra off the air.

In case you are wondering, i'm in college now in california, studying fashion design at the Academy of Art University. i'm doing an AA, which was not what we planned, but due to circumstances it came about . My mother works in the UN as an educationist, but will retire in a few of months, meaning that she will be not in a good situation to pay my fees as the UN payed 75% of the fees all this while. My mother is sacrificing her life by using the money that she should spend on her health on me. its not a good feeling being at college knowing my mother is sick and needs medical attention. i feel guilty, spoiled and rotten. She has taken care of my cousins years ago by putting them in good secondary schools and colleges and paying for it. She believes in education, especially when it comes to girls, which what her work is about. With that i would like you to ask if you can help me take the burden of my mothers shoulders and help pay for my fees for a year. i believe that she can use the money that will not be spent on my feels and go have real medical attention, She Actaully plans to go to the UK and have it there, but having linving in the UK once i know there dreadful cost of medical expenses if your not from there. please help me. its a lot to take into consideration, but i won't mind a helping hand.
Thank you for your patience and time.
sincerely

hello tyra, my name is charity. i group up in a not so lovely home. my mother put me through many hard ships in my life. i also put myself through many. i went through mental facilities. and rehab. i was sexual abused many times in my life. my father is a drug addict. he helped me get addicted to many drugs at the age of 13. i was not allowed to live in my mothers home many times through my life. i had to drop out of high school because i ended up going to 11 different schools. making it impossible to graduate. i am now pregnant at the age of 17. the boy left. i am trying really hard to be happy with myself. it becomes very hard at times. most of my family does not believe in me. but i do. and my sister emily. it is hard when everyone is telling you that you cannot do it. i always thought of being a model. i wanted for a very long time watching your show hoping that i could be americas next top model. but by chance i started sewing. my grandmother bought me my first sewing machine. i hoped that my mother would teach me. unfortunately i was always a disappointment to my mother. never good enough. she never taught me. i taught myself. and i started to really love sewing. i used to sell things i made at my school. and i make my own designs. my mother has seven chlidren. and i am one the she looks badly upon. i went through the child protective services. the foster home system. and many other homes, and shelters. right now there is no form of money for me to go to college. and i have a baby on the way. i have to raise this child on my own. i know that i am intellegent. i know that i can do this. i have the design. i am very artistic. that was one way i made it through so many hard times. i dont know how. but i want to be a fashion designer. i have most of the world against me. i know, that with positivity, and a good heart i can do it. i am not trashy. getting pregnant was not in my plans. but i am not ashamed. i am going to have a beautiful baby. the reason i am in this situation is because i have always just wanted someone to love me. to really care for me. to keep there promises to me. and so i will believe anyone i have to. just trying to find some form of care from a person. unfortunately i have not found that. other than my big sister, emily. she has been the best person in my life. she always believed in me. even when i didnt believe in myself. i have put her through alot. and we both know that i shouldnt be alive today other than the grace of god. i have to have surgery i have been told on my heart. i need surgery on my back, from physical abuse. i have water in my lungs. i was almost dead from attempts to drown me. i have almost died in hospitals from drug and alcohol over dose. and suicide attempts on my life. right now i am in a very happy place. i am going to have a beautiful child. and all of that is behind me. the problem is, that these things formed my future. causing things to be difficult for me. i have no idea how it would be possible for me to become a designer, what i would like with a small store selling my designs. i want so much to help my grandmother, do what i can. she put herself in debt for me. and will more than likely never be able to retire. she has sacrificed so much to help me. and i cant prove to her how she helped me. well i did ramble alot. but please reply, give me a chance to let you know more about me. i would like you to be able to see what i look like. since i know what you look like. love, charity

Hey there! I am 24, 5'1, 119 lbs. I am a realistic looking, petite lady. I really want to model, yet I am too short. I would really like to know who would actually want me. The only people that have any interest are wanting me nude. Would anyone actually take me seriously and see my potential? I have Fibromyalgia and it is very bothersom, yet the thought of entertaining sooths my soul. I feel as though this is my calling. I feel everything wrong in this world melt away when I entertaine. I would love to use entertainment as a platform to educate the world about my disease just as most models have in the past. I want to become a house hold name. With that, I feel others would be more willing to hear my message. Please help me in my crusade. -hugs!
Tiffany
P.S. Please pardon any bad spelling.

Hi Tyra, I love your watching your two shows. My wish is to produce my own Music Televsion channel that acctually plays music videos and not just the top 20. Also has groups and artists on for a concert interview series. Its seems the current music channels have all gone the way of reality crap. I also would have an entertainment news program that only focussed on positive things celebrities were doing and fire anyone who comes in with a Britany Spears story. Maybe it would run Entertainment Tonight and Extra off the air.
