IT'S WOMEN LIKE YOU THAT MAKE ME BELIEVE THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!
MY WISH IS FOR MY FAMILY.
I AM A 44 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOM OF 4 BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS AND GRANDMOTHER TO A DELIGHTFUL BABY BOY.
MY 9, 10 AND 11 YEAR OLD GIRLS ARE ADOPTED AND 2 HAVE SPECAIL NEEDS. I AM A MEMBER OF THE FREDERICKSBURG AREA SICKLE CELL ASSO. AND I DO PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR THEM AND RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES AS WELL AS THE CHILDRENS MIRACLE NETWORK. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF GIVING BLOOD AND BONE MARROW DONATIONS.
MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DESTANY HAS S.S. SICKLE CELL ANEMIA AND ALMOST DIED FOR THE 3RD TIME IN FEB. OF 2007. IT WAS DECIDED THEN THAT SHE NEEDED A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT TO SERVIVE.
WE ARE STILL LOOKING BUT MAY HAVE A DONOR SOON. (KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED.)I HAVE TO STAY WITH DESTANY DURING HER PROCEDURE AND THAT COULD LAST ANY WHERE FROM A FEW MONTHS TO A YEAR.
MY WISH IS TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY AND PAY THE BILLS DURING THIS TIME.
I CANT LOOSE MY OTHER CHILDREN WHILE I AM DOING MY GOD GIVEN DUTY TO SAVE DESTANYS LIFE.
DESTANY MAY NOT LIVE TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL WITH OUT A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT AND I CANT AFFORD TO TURN DOWN A DONOR BECAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW NOT TO LOOSE EVERYTHING IN THE PROCESS.

Hello Tyra,

One thing that I always wanted to do was to become a doctor. Tyra I love helping people, that is my passion. I specifically want to become a surgeon because almost everyday, when I take the train to school, you always here of someone getting shot or who was killed, and I always ask myself, " if i was there what would i have done, could I possibly have save their lives" My family is from Haiti, and we don't have much money, my father is a house-keeper and my stepmother is a nurse assisstant and there's also 6 kids in my family including myself, 5 girls and 1 little boy. My PARENTS CAN'T PAY FOR MY EDUCATION BECAUSE THOUGH THEIR TRYING THEY CAN BARELY TAKE CARE OF US.University of Massachusetts Amherst have one of the best pre-med programs but unfortunately i left in the middle of the semester because i had no money to pay for the school. I'm writing to everyone I know can help because I know that God is a Wonderful God and he never let his children down. I'll keep you in my prayers but please keep me in yours.

Sincerely,
Nadia

Tyra so glad you gave us all a way to promote our wishes! I hope the ones that are truly with heart and soul behind em get answered! There is a surgery where you can get taller and even though it would take a year to recover im a game for it! I have never seen this on tv nor have i heard of it on any tv shows but its been done and it works I want to stun those at my high school reunion! I was born with short arms and i need a lil bit more to manage as far as length goes! Can this be one wish that comes true? DANA in Texas

First and foremost I like to say I love each and everyone of your shows, second I like to say you spoke very well at the BET Honors you made me cry. I have something I would love and a wish you could make come true that is to make my dream a reality by uniting my family and me with my cousin of 30 years; subsequently she could meet her mother side of the family for the first time. My aunt her mother my mothers sister passed away giving birth to her I could remember my aunt during her pregnancy sitting aroung family member discussing one Thanksgiving evening, how afraid she was to give birth to her first child my aunt was about 31-32. My aunt passed away giving birth to my cousing her first child whom I have never seen except for on a picture her dad gave to my aunts, sister and brothers while my cousing was an infant I have tried contacting her on several occasions looking up email addresses; her relatives on her father side however, no such luck. I have gone to bed for years wondering how does she look, does she look like my aunt or have her great personality, did her father ever tell her about us or even does she want to meet her other generation does she want to know who she really is.
Tyra if you will please help me close a chapter in my life I have so desperately needed some closure to.

Thank you, Tyra

Hi Tyra I am a Single mother I have a 2 year old and a baby on the way my due date is suppose to be May 21, 08 but I'm not sure yet because I have placenta previa in which the placenta covers the cervix 1 out of 200 women get it. I'm still working cause my first son's father doesn't claim him and I have to take care of him by myself. The father of my unborn child didn't want the baby he wanted me to get a abortion so he's not around either. I'm very scared cause if I don't be careful I can hemorrhage to death and me and my unborn child can die. If my placenta starts bleeding I have to get rushed to the hospital Asap. I'm working 40 hours a week in a Mental Health clinic. I'm trying to move out before the baby is born cause after Katrina I had to move in with my parents cause I din't have nowhere to go.I apartment in Texas but when they said Storm Rita was coming I had to make a choice drive to Houston where my doctor was are drive home 9 months pregnant so I drove home with my babyseat in the car just in case I went into labor I could bring my son home after. I had my son Oct 4, 05 and my job didn't return it was hard but I worked at a temp-service to take care of my son. Till April of 07 when I got hired at my present job. I have low self esteem cause my teeth is messed up from acid wear and pregnancy and their just getting worst its to expensive to get them fixed. I'm trying to move in April and I'm trying to stretch my income tax to make it work and get some stuff for my unborn child. What wish do is be the best mother I can be and get my teeth fixed and take care of children. I fought out I was pregnant with my second child when I was 2 month pregnant. And his father wanted me to have a abortion but I chose to have my baby knowing that it was going to be hard with a baby and a 2 year old. But I felt like aborting this baby was not something I could do so I prayed and asked god what should I do and my answer was keep my baby. So throughout my pregnancy I have been getting blamed for the whole situation in itself and being stressed cause of my unborn's child father Like I said I wish to get my teeth fixed and have what I need for my children and my apartment . Thank You Tyra May God Bless You and keep helping others cause your their blessing from god.

hi, tyra i know this will sound crazy but i want to do something that will be impossible to do. i don't know how to start i want to be a singer and i hope someday that i'll go to american idol but if i could do that during my hogh school year that will be great. i have my parents that don't support me at all if i ask for something they think it for uncivilized people and they said don't think about that think about being a doctor. i wanted to sing so bad to prove to my dad that if you want something and you fight for it you'll win it not everything in this world it about money, it about showing the people how love will change all of us. i know it seems hard but don't worry i just wanted to share what in my heart. i feel like the whole it against me i wanted to make a difference but i cnnot it's hard to look up for yourself. how did you get there, where you are now i mean was everything easy for you or did you have a tough time. sometimes i just wish that my parents could understand and care about what i want not what they want. thank for listening bye!!!!!

Tyra, I have always wanted to SING. I think I have a voice, but I sometimes second guess myself. Maybe I only sound good to myself. Maybe I am too old now (33). Perhaps, I should stop fantasizing about being on the road. Singing in the shower and around the house is great, but what if I can really make it? My audience spans to my sister who has been listening all of my life and my nephew who adoringly tells me I sound like Beyonce (his favorite singer). My mom used to tell me that I should use it or lose it, and at the rate I am going, I am heading down the road to Losing it. I am at the stage in my life where I am realizing that time waits for no one. I don't want to look back in ten years and not have tried to pursue my love-Music.

Dear Tyra,

My name is Spring. I am 26 years old and have a beautiful 4 year old daughter and 7 years old step-son. My DREAM has always been to be a fashion designer, it has always been my passion for as long as I can remember. I was forced to deal with the scare of Breast Cancer at the age of 23 just a after having my daughter. I wish to bring awareness to this problem about more young people being diagnosed with cancers. I want to design a line of evening gowns for award shows where the money raised goes to the many cancer foundations. Hopefully if I can make that dream a reality to continue further and maybe create a line to raise money for AIDS, poverty, abuse. I hope you can help me make this dream a reality. My daughter and family believes that I have the talent, but I don't have the means to make my dreams come true.

i always wanted to ride a horse but i am 2 afraid because they scare me!

My secret wish is to be an actress. I have always had that inside me, but the fear holds me back on going at it. Plus I do not know how to get into the business. It is becoming a more and more distant dream because I'm a shy person and don't know if I'll ever be able to overcome it enough to make it. But it's one thing that I may regret never doing when I am an old lady looking back one day.

First and foremost I like to say I love YOU, each and every one of your shows. Second you spoke very well at the BET Honors you made me cry. I have something I would love and wish you could make come true that is to make my dream a reality by uniting my family and me with my cousin of at least 30 years; subsequently she could meet her mother side of the family for the first time. My aunt her mother my mother sister passed away giving birth to her something 30 years ago I could remember my aunt during her pregnancy at a family gathering on Thankgiving speaking about how she was afraid to give birth to her first child she passed away giving birth to my cousin whom I have not seen except from a baby photo. I have tried contacting her on several occasions looking up email addresses her relatives on her father side however, no such luck. I have gone to sleep numerous of nights wondering how does she look, does she have my aunt ways, did her father ever speak about her mom relatives do she ever think about us or even does she want to know who she really is. Tyra if you will please help me close a chapter in my life I have so desperately needed some closure to.

Thank you, Tyra,

HEY TYRA, WELL 1ST OF ALL I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE, THAT I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE A PERSON THAT DOES THINGS WITH PASION & DOES THEM RIGHT. LIKES TO HELP & LISTEN TO OTHER & THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY. I LOVE IT. WELL I REALLY KNOW NO OTHER WAY TO SPEAK TO YOU SO I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA. I WAS BORN IN MEXICO. COME FROM A FAMILY OF HARD WORKING, HONEST, TRUSTING, GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE. I DONT WANT TO BE ON YOUR SHOW BUT WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO ASK OF YOU IS TO SPEAK OF IMMIGRATION ON YOUR SHOW. PEOPLE DONT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REASON IS FOR PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEIR COUNTRIES. AM 22 YRS OLD WAS BORN IN MEXICO & HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE I WAS ABOUT 2. I HAVE NO LEGAL STATUS HERE AND IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO DO THINGS. SOME PEOPLE FEEL THAT I BREAK THE LAW EVERY DAY BY DRIVEING, & DOING LOTS OF THINGS THAT EVERY ONE DOES EVERY DAY. I'VE BEEN RAISED HERE & LOVE THIS COUNTRY. I DONT WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK @ PEOPLE LIKE ME AS OUTSIDERS BUT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALL HAVE ONE GOAL. THAT GOAL IS TO SUCCED IN LIFE. I WANT PEOPLE TO STOP THINKING THAT WE ARE HERE TO TAKE ANYTHING FROM THEM BUT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE THE SAME GOALS & FIGHT FOR THE SAME THINGS. I DONT WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK DOWN ON MY PARENTS, OR PEOPLE LIKE THEM FOR BEING IMMAGRANTS. I SEE IT EVERY DAY. I AM VERY PROUD OF MY PARENTS. WITH EVERY THING THAT HAS COME IN THEIR WAY THEY HAVE DONE WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILY & NEVER EVER HURT ANYONE. ANY ONE WOULD DO THE SAME, EVERY ONE WANTS WHATS BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THEY LEFT WHAT THEY KNEW & FOUGHT FOR US. I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM & MY SELF. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER WITH 9 NUMBERS ON IT. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY AS MUCH IF NOT MORE THEN EVERYONE ELSE. I DONT BELIEVE THAT GOING BACK IS A CHOICE FOR ME, I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ELSE BUT BEING HERE. I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO WILL BE TURNING 1 IN MARCH 20TH & HOPE THAT PEOPLE WONT JUDGE HER BECAUSE SHE IS BLACK & HISPANIC BUT FOR WHO SHE IS. I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ALL THE SAME. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT IS NOT THE BLOOD THAT RUNS THROU OUR VEINS BUT WHO WE CHOOSE TO BECOME IN LIFE. IF YOU GET TO READ THIS, AHEAD OF TIME I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. QUE DIOS DE BENDIGA. : ) IT WOULD BE AN HONOR TO GET TO MEET YOU ONE DAY.

Hi Tyra,

I know a lot of women wish they could be in charge of their own career and life. My passion is working with women to have the life they deserve. I give women direction to have their own business. By having their own business, they feel empowered, strong, confident and also this allows them to raise their children in the same manner. Can you imagine how the world would change if mothers were joyful and empowering and leaving those traits for future generations. Women are so important in our world today. I propose to help one woman out of your guests that feels stuck in her life and depressed that she can't make a difference. Let me make a difference and help one of your guests be the best woman she can be. Let's make it happen, Tyra. You are a strong role model for woman! Thank you for speaking your mind.

Maggie

HEY TYRA, MY WISH ISN'T REALLY OUTRAGOUS OR CRAZY BUT IS IT REALISTIC AND HOPEFUL. I WISH TO BECOME AN R&B ARTIST FOR ONE DAY. SINGING IN FRONT OF PEOPL LIKE JANET JACKSON, PATTI LA BELLE, AND ALICIA KEYS. IT MAKES ME NERVOUS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. I LOVE SINGING AND I WRITE MY OWN MUSIC BUT BEING THAT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE LESS FORTUNATE WHEN IT COMES TO FINANCES AND SUCH BECOMING FAMOUS AT ALL ISN'T AVAILABLE TO ME. PLEASE TYRA I WOULD LOVE TO JUST HAVE THAT EXPERINCE OR EVEN HAVE MY VOICE HEARD FOR ONE DAY. THANK YOU

Hey im frm port elizabeth south africa . Im 26 male my name is riaan i love all your show,s and try and watch it every day but bec of work sometime is not poseble . I love u u do so must 4 the work even if we on the other side . I allways had a dream to travel over the word now that im 26 i stil want to fashion fashion fashion i whode love to be behind the stad of topmodels to watch it happen ane help where i can strange 4 a gay guy to think like that but it nice . Wil love 2 c u do something with guy models 2 . Hoop u read this all gud in life 2 u ok c u on the telly bye love riaan

Hi Tyra! I don't know if you're really going to read this but I hope that you do. It has really been a huge dream of mine to be on America's Next Top Model. I consider you my idol and because of you I know that It's possible for me to achieve my goals, but i feel like everytime i build up the courage to work toward my dream im faced with another obstacle. My family supports me, but right now i have a boyfriend who doesn't i stresses me out. My friends tell me to not worry about it and anyone who doesn't support you doesn;t love you. the easier thing to do would be just to leave him right? But it's easier to say then to be done. If i had to choose between him and modeling i would defianetly choose modeling because i feel without having the opportunity to work toward that dream my life would be incomplete. I sometimes get off track. im 18 years old and about to graduate from highschool. I don't know where to begin. Like your mom my mom is supportive. But although she is supportive we don't have the money to get me to the places I need to be. I really wanted an apportunity to be on cycle 11 of America's NExt top model. BUt the long distance audition required a tap of 3 minutes and I don't have the mondy to get the camera. It would be a dream to have the opportunity to actually make it on the show and actually audtion!!! Im not asking for charity Im jsut asking for a helping hand. I know that im capable to achieve anything. If you do personally see my message please consider contacting me. I know you recieve messages like this all the times. But among all those people I different. And Im sure if you had the opportunity to meet me you will since the goodness, boldness and determination i have in my soul. Thank you for you time ... hope to hear from you.... Love YA! Tanasha
