I really enjoyed watching the show today. It truly touched my heart. I am motivated to go out into my own community and pay it forward. So many people are falling on hard times and all they need is for someone to show them love and give them a chance. I am so glad to see God's Angels at work. I am praying for the young man and I am looking forward to seeing him do marvelous things. That was a great show!

I am writing to ask for a copy of the show with Judge Mathis and Tracy to be utilized when discussing making decisions, the importance of education and how people who can help, will if (the student)can express their life goals, desires, etc. Instead of focusing on getting money by any and all means.
I am not sincerely desiring that my name appear with the comments below; however, if it must than I will respond.
Please let me know if my request will be accepted. Thank you in advance.
What a great gesture!
I am a community mentor and educator and I am so moved and impressed by todays episode. Continue doing great work!
Ahhhhh my phone rang just as they were telling him how they would help?!? What did they do for him?
I saw the show with Judge Mathis and it was very stirring. I commend Judge Mathis (who is one of my favorite people) and Dr. Drew for having a heart to help. There are so-o-o-o-o many more Tracy's out there.
I've seen a lot of shows but this one truly brought tears to my eyes. I'm praying for Tracey!
My husband and I just finished watching the segment with Judge Mathis and Tracy. It was one of the most inspiring sections we've seen on your show!!! Judge Mathis should run for President! We were both in tears and inspired as "Pay It Forward" is still a significant core fiber of our great country and loving citizens. Thank you for all the life changes you are making, Dr. Drew!
