Dreams really do come true!

Tyra is granting wishes and fulfilling dreams for deserving people who put others before themselves. First, a cancer-stricken girl whose dying wish is to meet Tyra has her dream come true, and the girl's mother also gets a huge surprise! Plus, a mom who has dedicated her life to finding a cure for the Rett Syndrome her two-year-old daughter suffers from -- has her dream come true! Then, a boyhood dream comes true for a dedicated soldier who has been in the Army for 18 years and has served four tours of combat duty in Iraq. Trust us, there won't be a dry eye in the house!

So they made up a song about me doing hair saying that i have to have a fix if not then my day is not gonna go right lol. But every state I have been in i have had people tell me that they would follow me anywhere because I care so much for hair and I get them right,,, But the problem is i am in the military and I deploy so much I hate to be away from my kids and husband for long periods of time but that is the only way that we survive but the places they station me jobs in the area are not really there so my husband is a stay at home dad at the time.

Hello Tyra,I am a mother,wife,and a hard worker. I work for the public schools and Mcdonalds part-time. I read some of the other comments and I feel a little selfish. Being that I am involved with the public most of the day I am constantly talking. I try to cover my mouth because my teeth are so bad. My husband is out of work and I don't make a lot of money on either job but I am still grateful to be working. I have spent bill money,grocery money, borrowed money to go to the dentist with no satisfaction. My wish is to get my smile back,to have pretty teeth so I don't have to cover my mouth. My story may not be heart gripping and it may not take your breath away but it is a dream and wish that I wish to come true and with your help I know it can and will. God bless you all, and thank you for granting wishes to all who are chosen. Sadie Bennett

hey Tyra, I recently got an e-mail from some job web-site saying check out the Trya banks web site for money for school for working mom's & dad's. I read & read couldn't find it your site is a little big :)so here's my hail mary for my man .I have been with JIM for almost 15 years. I was pregnate with my ex's baby when we got together & he has raised my son as his own since the day he was born. he has worked while I stayed home. well here it is 15 years later he's still working his booty off, but only after we lost almost everything except each other. we had our own little one truck trucking company,but after buying a new truck we discovered it was a lemon. In one year it bankrupted our little company & left us broke & feeding the kids from a food bank . I took a job to try to help keep us a float but we are still drowning in bills. he's a truck driver right now . but his passion if food . he has wanted to be a chef since high school . but was mis guided by people who told him there's no future in that . we all know that's not true .I want to help him realize his dream can come true if hard work was all it took he would already be a huge success . I need help on getting him into chef school @ cordon blue cooking school in Dallas ,Tx . Financial aide ,... well because we made really good money when in buss for our selfs we don't qualify . I will move heaven & earth & put everything on the line to get him there I

Ever since I got with my boyfriend I knew he was the one. We have been trying for years now to get married. The major set back for us is that we dont have money for a honeymoon (September 12, 2009) My all time dream is to go to Bahamas... the waters are so nice and I want to snorcal and overcome my fear of not being able to breath under water.
