Hey Tyra,
my name is Jaene and i just turned 17 years old. And all my life all i wanted to do was dance. But my mom is having problems with everything. My sister and I was at the house one day and all of a sudden our power goes off and we didn't know why. But later on we found out that my dad had the power cut off because my dad and mother had separated.For 3weeks my mom,my sister, and I had to stay in a hotel because we couldn't go home.Now we stay in charlotte with my aunt,her daughter, and her grand-daughter.Yes it's uncomfortable but its going to have to work for right now.Its 6 of us and only 3 rooms.And i want to be back in my own room because i can only be cramped for so long before i get aggraviated.And my dad feels my mother is nothing without him and she will never make it without him. But I'm hear to prove him wrong. No matter what he should be helping the family with everything because he's the reason we're goin through.
And the reason i want to dance is because it's my passion and i know it will keep me out of trouble. But there's one thing i want, and thats to meet Ciara. She is my biggest dance idol and I love her to death. So Tyra can you please help my family and me.

HeY tyRa !!!!

Dear Tyra, I am doing this for a friend of mine.She is a young lady who is so beautiful,everyone thinks she ought to try out modeling but as pretty as she is she is very self concious about herself.She has something on her body that women shouldn't have and that's an adams apple.It makes her very uncomfortable with herself because she feels that people always look at her in a negative way,when in fact she's wrong.Everyone always tells her how beautiful she is but she just don't beleive it deep down inside.tyra please help my friend find more self confidence in herself because she stopped doing all the things we used to do together just because she don't like to be seen.She tries to stay in the house as much as she can and i try to get her to go out with me,she always makes excuses.I just want her to know she's pretty with or without an adams apple,so tyra please help!!!!

Hello Tyra,

I live in the Caribbean, but, my wish/dream is to one day publish my very own children' story book. I have been trying with numerous American Publishers but to no avail. I believe that my story has marketable appeal and potential to do well. Can you please help me make this a reality? I would really appreciate the help.

Hello Tyra,

I live in the Caribbean and I have always dreamed of becoming an author of a children's story book. I have written a manuscript and I have been trying to pitch my idea to American Publishers of getting my story publish. I believe my story is something that young children of any age can relate too. I really want to make this happen but it has been a tremendous challenge for me. Can you please help me into making my dream come true??? Thank you***

Hi Tyra,

I am writing to you to tell you that I have dreamed about one day publishing a children's story book. I do not live in the U.S. and I have been trying feverishly for the past 2 years to get my manuscript publish with an American publishing companies but I have been unable to get one to even respond to me. This is something I really want to do but I have have not been able to do on my own. Can you please help me to make my dream come true??? I will appreciate the help. Thanks****

Dear Tyra, I am a huge fan of yours and I love what you are doing to women all over the globe. Give hope and motivation when there is none. Tyra I am a natural hair stylist, specializing in locs and braids. My dream is to have a Loc Hair Show.Please Tyra help me, and I know you will be so so proud of my work, and hopefully help me to help launch my career. PLEASE Tyra and thank you for the push I needed to suceed.

Hi Tyra,
My name is Dana and something happened to me a few months back. Last year I applied to the Hollywood Entertainment for the ANTM. I thought I'd just give it a shot for the hell of it. Since I was little my dad and I always used to watch all these modelling shows and i really enjoy it. So anyways, after I had applied, I eventually forgot about it after not hearing back from them. Then one day I came home to find a message on my answering machine saying that I was chosen for further consideration. I was ecstatic!!! Everything moved so quickly and I was about to pay for some talent cards. It was scary cause I didn't know how real it was. Everything was moving so quickly and they requested so much within a matter of days. I felt uncomfortable and didn't have time to make a proper decision on whether or not I would still go through with it. I am a university student, so my first concern was school. Now I don't know if this dream or opportunity will ever come around again. I am not looking for you to make my dream of being a model come true. I am simply seeking for advice or comfort in knowing that I chose the right thing for the time being. Thanks.
-Dana

Hey Tyra! One of my biggest dreams ever can only be met by you. I just want to MEET YOU!!!!!!! So I'm turning 16 soon and I told my mom that meeting you would be better than a car!!! I love your show, and I watch it every time I can. I also love your other show "America's Next Top Model", even though there is probably more drama in that show than my whole entire high school!! But anyways, I really want to meet you. Your the only person in this whoe wide word who can make my dream of meeting you come true, so please just consider it! (Maybe I could be on your show) That would be the best birthday in the whole untire world of birthdays!!!

Dear Tyra,

First of all you are doing a great job helping and representing women of all walks of life, but why do I feel like this is only for american women. I live in Canada and I feel left out, we are "neighbhors" but iI don't feel like you notice us even on your site why are contests only for americans aren't your veiwers in Canada important
When I was little I use to visit a Aunt in Brooklyn and she sent me to daycamp well the kids teased me horribly told me to go back to my "Igloo" made fun of the way i spoke. I never forgot that nor did I think I would feel that way again but I do. Tyra I place you above all other talk shows because of who you are keep up the good work anyways and remember we love you too.

Hi Tyra,

My spouse is a 51 year old transgender Male to Female. Her name is Jillian and the only thing she has ever wanted her whole life was to be accepted as her self. She recently left to go to another state to get a job because she could not get one here. She just wants enough money to have her SRS operation and can not seem to get it all together. I wanted her to stay here with her family but she felt it would be better if she went some place that did not know her. I could not go because I could not afford to be out of work with our daughter in College and the insurance. We have health insurance and they will not help with the SRS operation that she needs. I just want her to have the operation that she really needs to make her complete. I miss her I have not seen her in two months and I am finally able to go visit her on 3/1/08 and I can not wait. I love this lady so much she was my husband but if you love some one like I love her it does not matter what they are on the outside. It is the heart and the soul that matters to me and I feel that she is my soul mate and always will be.

Thanks
Trish

i want to be a supermodellll. supe dupa fllllllyyyyyyyy.

Hi! Tyra my name is Ashley Dobbs and there is actually something I've been wanting to do is model and design clothes, purse and jewlery, but I just don't know how to go about doing it, I really don't know where to start.

Tyra,

My dream has always been to one day be able to give a large amount of money away. I would love to be able to reward people for their random acts of kindness. I have also always had a dream of being in some supermarket or any store for that matter and paying for someones purchase (secretly). I would love to help others out. I have been so blessed with a wonderful family and would love for another family to feel the love that I feel from my husband and beautiful son. Although money cannot solve all problems, it sure can help others to find faith and love in a world full of people who are negative and for themselves. I truely feel that someday I will be able to help others out the way I want to. Although I am not financially able to do this now, hopefully someday I will be able to. When I saw Oprah's "The Big Give" I was so excited and hoped this would not be a one time thing. I don't want the million at the end. I just want to have an impact on someone else's life. Thanks for helping peoples dreams come true Tyra, you're the best!

I have lost approximately 120 lbs without Gastric Bypass surgery. I used to have beautiful hair but a lot of it fell out. My long auburn hair defined me for many years. I wonder if I could get hair extensions or some quality bra's. I can get by with jeans and shirts as I make this life changing journey, but I cant afford new good-quality intimate garments and with massive weight loss my foundation garments do not support me anymore.

Hey Tyra!!
The thing i've ALWAYS wanted to do was to become a singer. I'm from hawaii and i know how hard it is to be a singer but it's all i've wanted to do. I don't know where to start, but i know thats what i want to do. can u help me please?? luv brittney
