I would send my mother to school until she rec's her BA or BS while paying her bills. Then I would buy her a building so she can start her very own business. Since I can't do that, I would get Christopher Lowell to redecorate her MS bedroom or Formal Living room. He is her Fav. If I can't do that, then I would send my grandmother to Hawaii or on a cruise. They are both deserving...that would be my desire.

Hi, I’m Jessica and I send my story to you about 2months ago, I guess. I know that you’re busy but I need help in some way or another. The story that I send you were about my breast beginning so big. I am a 40/42 around my breast but underneath them are a 36. The cup size is either an F/H. I’m not sure what is the next size is from an F and I haven’t been size in a year. I started growing when I was in the 4th grade and I went straight to a C cup. That didn’t last very long and then I went to a D and then a DD. All I knew was I wasn’t like other girls or even my mom. I never thought I could have ended up at this size at my age and still be growing at my age. All I want is someone to help me find a way to get my doctors to see why I’m still growing in my breast knowing that I’m suppose to stop growing at least the age 18/21. I’m trying to find some way to pay for my breast reduce surgery b/c my insurance won’t pay for it b/c I haven’t try the cream, pills, and phys. therapy. I never heard of any cream that is going to make my breast size smaller. Have you? Also, in the last year I grew another size and my OBGN doctor is so mad that the insurance won’t pay for it and that I grew another size. He just doesn’t understand why. Also, No doctor will tell me why it that my breast are still growing at my age is. I think there is something in my brain or my cells that are doing this

My one wish is to be noticed. I've always been that girl at the back of the room who wore sweaters all the time. I want to become a singer, or a best selling author to say "Here I am, I'm a person!" even around my friends I feel like a no one. Nobody looks at me, or egnolages(Sorry for the spelling) me except my 4 year boyfriend(obviously) but I want to be famouse, that's my dream. To be on a screen in a living room, on a stage with someone watching saying "i went to school with her..." I want them to be jelouse. That's my wish.

My biggest wish is to have a three bedroom home all on one level that I can afford payments on. I am 64 years old and am on dialysis. Needless to say I don't have any money to spare. Sometimes I miss your show because of dialysis. I am not asking to be on your show because I am a very shy person. I just wanted to get that wish off my chest. Your show for dreams and wishes on the 23rd was on my second son's birthday, he just turned 40. I have 3 sons.

Hi Tyra, I just want to start by saying that I do love your show and I watch America's Next Top Model faithfully. I read some of the other wishes and I have to say that I am also embarrased to say that I am also in foreclosure. It started because my mother fell ill and I was helping her with her finances while she was also trying to take care of my sick grandmother who has since passed while also trying to keep up with my own. I contacted my bank and they told me that there was nothing they could do. I also cannot afford an attorney to file bankruptcy. My wish would be to get my back mortgage paid up and to treat myself and my mother to a spa day. My mother is better and back to work but we were both so stressed we would love to just get away. If there is anything that you could do we would be forever grateful. Thank you so much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you or your staff

Hi Tyra, my name I am a mother of two kids 3yrs old and 2yrs old respectively, I have started to write on many times and then would stop because i am embarassed. I am not the typical follow up on every show or trend type person just simple, about 3years ago my husdan became ill and was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was placed in a nursing home on a life support machine my routine is take to kids to see him he is aware of all that's happening but can only watch I do not know what else to do my house is in forclosure and while I am hoping to ,save that it is falling appart every where i can not get and I am up to my head in papre work and debts but I can get a lawyer because I can't afford it and I don't qualify for free legal assistance I cry al the time because I don't have family here and I am ashamed for anyone to see me on the show asking for help what to do, I am not sure how to post the pictures so can see the house may be if you get this letter someone can walk me true, I am not looking for glamore just a way out for my kids, help help help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Tyra! In lieu of Michael Jacksons' passing and a the loss of numerous friends and relatives this year. My best friend and I of 30yrs have had a lifelong dream of meeting Janet Jackson in person and/or spending the day with her! I personally have wanted to be her in a "Made" video for MTV however, I am too old for the show!! :( I am 32 and my best friend Nikita is 31! We have made this a lifelong commitment, we have chosen to try at our dream not matter how long it takes!! Nikita and I used to dress up like Janet for Halloween and the Rhythm Nation video we practiced for hours on a daily basis!! We both loved how she rocked the stage and then carried herself like a true lady off the stage. One of our dreams we did make come true, put us in debt a lil' but, we went to this last concert she had. I had on stiletto boots the whole concert and COULD NOT sit down!! I stood the whole 3-4hrs!!!! LOL!! We had tears in our eyes, our families were excited for us! Nikita has been my dear friend ever since we were 3 and 2yrs of age, she knows the words normally and I know the dance moves! Please, Please we would love for this dream to come true! Peace & Blessings!
