My name is Bradley and I am in the US Army. Mina and I are currently engaged and we will be bringing 4 daughters and one son into our blended family. My children live with their mom in Kansas City MO and it’s tough most times however, my soon to be additional daughters Aria and Layla are amazing kids thanks to their mom. We have come together perfectly as a family and I couldn’t have found such a better blessing to spend my life with. My career sends me away often and even when I’m home I’m still sent away for special missions and additional training. I missed out on Layla’s birthday this year while in Iraq and she has been begging to go to the Drake concert and pleading that she won’t ask for anything for Xmas. We are more than excited for this event and I am truly grateful for getting the opportunity to deliver a memorable night with my new family. 2 years have flown by and most have been apart so this event would be perfect for capturing a moment together. I’m wishing for 4 tickets for my family to go see Drake after I return from deployment. This wish is in hopes to make my daughter’s birthday wishes come true. I’m always extremely busy and this would be a much needed and very memorable family night. We are all so grateful in advance for the consideration and look forward to great news. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Abigail. When I got back from deployment a few months ago. A friend told me about this wish request on Vet Tix. I would like to take my family to Disneyland because they've been begging me since we moved to California. I truly appreciate any support for this wish and will be extremely grateful.

Monday, October 9th 2023 - Orlando, FL

My name is Matthew. I am currently serving my 6th tour overseas in the Middle East. I am married to my loving wife and we have 3 boys ages 12, 8, and 7. After 16 years of active service I want to take the chance to put my wife and boys first and treat them to this wish to visit Disney World. Our wish is for my family to have a magical Disney World experience when I complete this deployment. We would be visiting from 9-13 October. Transportation and Lodging accommodations are covered, we are asking for help in attaining 4-day park hopper passes plus option for my family of 5. Thank you for reading and supporting this for my family.

My Name is Terry. For my 10th wedding anniversary, I promised my wife we’d go somewhere amazing. We booked flights and a cruise to Alaska. 5 days before the scheduled cruise, I received noticed I had to go to a mandatory training and then would be deployed on an extended deployment. We had to cancel our anniversary trip and I had to leave her to manage our home like a rock star with 3 kids by herself. One of our children has moderately severe autism and the other two are two years old and one year old, so it’s certainly a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. Here it is, almost a year later from our cruise cancellation and my wife discovered that two of her favorite things are happening in NYC. Josh Groban is playing in Sweeney Todd on Broadway. She loves his music and Sweeney Todd is OUR favorite musical. I’d love to be able to get away with her and take her to New York City for a few days to celebrate surviving deployment and our 10th (make that 11th) Anniversary.

Monday, October 16th 2023 - Newark, NJ

Hello, I am currently on my 2nd deployment in 2 years and would love to surprise my parents back home in New Jersey and set up a gathering at a New Jersey Devils game. Due to being stationed overseas and now incurring back-to-back deployments I have not been back to my hometown in almost 10 years. My wife has also been dealing with my time away and with her own struggles of being an active duty wife and I want her to be the one to help surprise them. Both my wife and I and my parents are huge hockey fans so this would be a great opportunity to get back together for something we all love as a family. Unfortunately, with travel/flight costs and increasing ticket prices, we are hoping for 4 tickets to a game later in October with the start of the new season, maybe even enjoy a dinner all together at the game too. It has been hard missing out on all the celebrations of birthdays, holidays and family gatherings that have come and gone throughout the years but this one would for sure make up for it. Thank you all for your time reading this and Thank You to Vettix and for the Vettix community.

Hello, my name is Jason, I am a USMC infantry squad leader. I’m a huge fan of the band Tool and have been for 23 years. I have never gotten the chance to see them in concert and the tickets are too much for me to get one right now as I’m approaching bankruptcy. Cost of living and other financial hardships combined with the ridiculous cost of living in rural Washington. In 2009 I was deployed as a USMC infantry squad leader on my third deployment as part of the 2nd marine expeditionary battalion and the first boots on the ground in President Obamas 2009 surge to end the war. I was wounded in when my squad came under fire and were drawn into a complex ambush of machine guns and rpg fire. I died twice on my medevac and almost lost my arm and was put into a coma with multiple face and skull fractures and a degloving of my right and dominant arm. My wish is to attend the Tool concert at the Moda Center in Portland Oregon in October.

Thursday, October 26th 2023 - Los Angeles, CA

My name is Martin, and I'm currently serving as an active duty marine on deployment and will be returning back to the States in October. The Los Angeles Lakers game I'd like to attend is a chance for my wife and me to enjoy each other's company while enjoying our love of the NBA scene after this long separation. Throughout this deployment, I've missed out on countless cherished moments and significant events, all while being far from the one person who means the most to me. We both share a passion for basketball and the NBA, and being able to witness the Lakers in person would be a dream come true as we are Lakers fans and enjoy the competitive scene. Any Lakers game would be awesome. The challenges of constant training and deployment have tested me but mainly my wife who has shouldered everything back at home, but the thought of surprising my wife and making up for lost time fills me with excitement. Your consideration of granting this wish would mean the world to me. I’m hoping you can help make this wish come true, giving us the chance to reconnect and celebrate would mean the world. Thank You.

I would love to be able to afford a trip for my family to Disneyland. After coming back from deployment it has been a struggle to get things in order, but we finally did. I would love to be able to give my family a break for just a couple days. We are a family of 4 and recently have finally settled back into life after my deployment. I would love to be able to finally make my daughters wish come true by finally being able to take them to Disneyland.

My name is Jeremy. I am a Marine Corps veteran of two combat tours in Iraq. I received the Purple Heart in April 06, and that same month, I lost my best friend while he was operating in another part of Iraq. Currently, I work in EMS, and my wife is a nurse. We want to be able to take our boys to an awesome game! My boys, 13 & 10, are dying to see a Tennessee Titans game in Tennessee with decent seating. I work EMS, and my wife is a nurse, but good tickets are not on our budget!

Tuesday, October 31st 2023 - Anaheim, CA

Hi, my name is Charles, and I’m in the Air Force. My “Hero's Wish” is for Park Hopper and Genie+ passes for Disneyland and California Adventure Park. This past year has been tough on my family. My wife went through a very traumatic pregnancy and delivery with my son. Five days after his birth, I received a phone call saying I was deploying for the third time. The day I was supposed to leave the first time (it got postponed three times), my family and I had a car accident. Luckily, the kids were okay in the accident, but my wife and I still got treatment for our injuries. I still deployed when my son was a month old, and my wife was still not released to pick up more than my son’s weight (Even through the roughest times, she’s still the strongest person I know). I just returned from deployment in January, and my son Nikolaus is now 10 months old. It’s always been a dream of mine to take my kids to Disney. Especially since my 4 and 6-year-old daughters, Audrey and Gwendolyn, are obsessed with Disney (not to mention my wife is too). After everything that has happened, I would love to be able to surprise my family with a trip to Disneyland and California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California. I respectfully request help with (4) four-day park hopper passes plus services. It would be my kid's first time going, and I know it is a HUGE dream of theirs. I have missed many birthdays, firsts, and events in the past six years and would love to be able to share this memory with them. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Thursday, November 9th 2023 - Orlando, FL

My name is Mike. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA, and currently reside outside the city with my wife Sarah of 5 years and our two boys, Henry and Daniel (aged 3 and 1). I am currently deployed in the Middle East, and my wife Sarah has been bearing the burden of a full-time job and caring for our two young boys. Both of our boys love all things Disney. Our oldest boy, Henry, desperately wants to visit "Mickey Mouse's House," which he knows as Disney World after my mother-in-law showed him pictures from a family vacation years ago. This is why I wish to be able to take my family to Disney World this November after I return from my deployment. I wish for 4 tickets to accommodate my whole family and ideally, I'd like to take them for 4 days, one for each park.

Sunday, November 19th 2023 - Orchard Park, NY

Hello, I am Jeremy. I am active duty military, currently deployed in Iraq, and I wanted to request 4 tickets for a Buffalo Bills home game for me, my wife and kids. I am originally from upstate New York and have been a Buffalo Bills fan all my life, but I have never been to a game in person. I am currently deployed in Iraq and will return home in October 2023. I was hoping to make it to a Bills home game in November with my wife and two children. It would be a fantastic welcome home/ birthday present if considered. I will return from my deployment at the end of October and hope to go to this game if possible. Either way, thank you for taking my request.

Monday, November 27th 2023 - Orlando, FL

I'm Gabriel, and I recently returned from a 7-month deployment in Bulgaria. My wife was 1 month pregnant with our first baby when I left for deployment. So I missed most of the pregnancy but luckily was able to redeploy early for the birth of our baby boy. He is currently 6 weeks old. I would like to take my little family to Disney World to show my wife that she is greatly appreciated for being strong during her pregnancy without me physically being there.

Hi, my name is SPC Woods! I am an Information Technology Specialist in the U.S. Army. I am currently Active Duty and have been in the Army for 2.5 years. I completed a combat tour in the Middle East from October 2022-April 2023. I enjoy what I do and the purpose I serve when supporting others. During spare time I like to read, travel, and watch movies. I have been a Harry Potter fan for as long as I can remember. Visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter would be such a magical (pun intended) experience for me. I have always wanted to visit the Universal Studios in Orlando, FL since I was a child. Specifically, I have always wanted to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I never had the opportunity to visit due to a lack of funds and there were other priorities my family had.

I am a Military Widow. My husband Christopher was KIA in Iraq on Jan.8, 2004. It was right after Xmas & it’s never been the same. But this one will be even more complicated now that his brother won’t be with him. I want my son to be happy this Holiday Season. Me & my boys and I lost their dad in war, and it’s been tough ever since. My oldest son Sean has many disabilities & because of these, he will always have to live at home with me. He watches his brother move on & that’s been hard. This year will be 1st year that it will just be him, me & his youngest brother for Christmas. He doesn’t want to be home because his Dad is gone & his brother isn’t coming home. So we decided to go to Disney World for Christmas. I want my son to be able to have fun for Christmas & not be home depressed. Thank You.

Hi, My name is Brinley. I am 19 y/o and currently active duty Army. I have always wanted to see the Nutcracker on Christmas Eve with my boyfriend but have always either not been able to afford tickets or not been able to get tickets before they sold out. I really hope to be able to surprise him this year as we won’t be able to go home and see his family for Christmas due to having to save money to move and for me to attend law school next year.

Wednesday, December 27th 2023 - Orlando, FL

Hello, My name is Joshua. I am currently serving in the Air National Guard. I have been in the military for 12 years, spending 4 Active Duty in the Marine Corps as an Infantry and 8 in the Air National Guard as a Firefighter. I have had three Deployments, two to Okinawa and one to Kuwait. I have a Wife and 3 Kids, ages 22,10 and 4. While I was deployed, our Son enlisted into the Air Force and left for basic in San Antonio before I could see him when I returned. I have not seen or talked to him in about a year. When he gets home, I would like to take a Family vacation, make up for some lost time that we all missed with the deployments and the time apart, and thank them for all the sacrifices they have made to help me with deployments and time away. I’m requesting five 4-day park hopper tickets to Disney World in Florida. We want to leave for the vacation on December 27. Any help would be tremendous. Thank you in advance for all your support.

Wednesday, December 27th 2023 - Blacklick, OH

My name is Destiny. I currently serve in the Army National Guard and am deployed to the Middle East. I will return home this summer and would love to take my family to Disney World for the first time. I am a family of 6. I have four children: my oldest twins, age 11, my youngest son, 4, and my youngest daughter, 3. My husband is a stay-at-home father who has sacrificed so much for our family. He is my true hero as a stay-at-home father; he paved the way in supporting and sacrificing so much for our family. I couldn’t have gotten through this deployment without him. It would be an honor to thank him for all he does for us and to see my children experience Disney World for the first time. We would be most grateful to receive Disney World Park Hopper passes after returning from deployment and spending the holidays together again in late December/early Jan.

Monday, January 1st 2024 - Brandon, FL

I am currently deployed returning back to Tampa, Fl the month of November. I have served in the USAF for nearly 20 years and been away from my family for most the 2023 year with trainings and this seven month deployment. At the completion of this deployment, I will have missed 2 of my children’s birthday. I have three children, one step daughter and my husband. My three children have been through a lot without a biological parent and have been amazing. I was informed some news that is resulting in some big changes and before we transition to this next phase, I’d like to be mom for a bit and allow them to just relax & celebrate through making memories. My children are 17. 13, & 11. My birthday is in November and my other son’s birthday is in December. Due to their gender and ages, I would like to book reservations where we can take our time and visit the different parks without the commute of traveling from Tampa to Orlando every day and really decompress and reconnect. We spoke about celebrating our birthdays together when I returned. I’m also looking at retiring and starting a new chapter with my family.

Tuesday, January 2nd 2024 - Orlando, FL

I'm Clayton, and in the picture are my wife and my 1-year-old daughter (not pictured our three fur animals)! I am currently deployed, and we want a vacation to Walt Disney World upon my return! My daughter will be 2 soon, and she already loves everything Disney. My wife was classified as an essential medical employee, so we have had a long couple of years between COVID-19, pregnancy, and this deployment. We hope to finally wind down for a bit and enjoy some quality time together as partners and parents. We greatly appreciate every one of you taking the time to read this, and thank you so much for everything in advance!

Monday, January 22nd 2024 - Orlando, FL

Hello, my name is Estevan. I am a Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 12 years, and we have three kids, ages 5, 7, and 11. My wife and kids are my world; they have sacrificed so much. I joined the Air Force in 2012 to support my family and give my son a life better than my wife and I had growing up. At the time, my oldest son was just 9 months old. I served on active duty for 7 years. During that time, I earned several awards, deployed for 7.5 months, became a Military Working Dog (MWD) handler, and then a MWD trainer. I have served an additional 4 years in the Air National Guard since then while serving my community as a Sheriff's Deputy and a member of the S.W.A.T. team. In the past 11 years, I have been diligent in taking on as many additional training opportunities as possible, attending several Schools out of town in order to sharpen my skills and allow me to serve my community and country well. Even while I've been home, my family has sacrificed countless hours for me, working additional hours to train my K-9, offering support to the K-9 teams I was in charge of training, improving my marksmanship skills, staying after work to help troops, and more. I am currently deployed. I will miss all my kids' birthdays this year, several holidays, and my oldest and youngest starting middle school and Kindergarten. Over the 11 years in the Air Force, I have missed too many birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and milestones, but my wife and kids have been troopers. They hold down the fort to support me and the mission, even at the expense of time together as a family. We have started saving to take our kids to Disney World (this would be a first for our entire family), and we will hopefully have enough by 2025. I would love to be able to surprise my kids with the opportunity to take them when I get home from my deployment instead. I respectfully ask for help in attaining 5-day Disney World hopper passes for my family of five. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am very thankful for your time and consideration.

Monday, January 29th 2024 - Orlando, FL

Hello, my name is Brian and I am currently serving in the MN Army National Guard and have served for the last 10 Years. I recently returned home from an overseas deployment where my unit was responsible for a completely new mission that had not been done before. This was my second deployment but my first one with my wife which made it harder. She struggled with some mental health issues while I was gone so I would like to be able to surprise her with a graduation trip to Disney World to show how proud I am of her for making it through this deployment. She has wanted to go to Disney World since we have been married but we have not had the money to be able to afford it. I would like 2 5-Day Park Hopper passes.

Thursday, February 1st 2024 - Mount Sterling, OH

Hello, my name is Jeffrey, and I am currently deployed to the Middle East. I have a 3-year-old son who loves everything Disney and an almost 9-month-old daughter, born a month before I left, but is the happiest little girl in the world. Since this is my first deployment, the whole family has had some major life transitions and stresses simultaneously. We planned on taking the kids to Disney World for my son’s 4th birthday after I got home, but budgeting while gone and trying to plan a fun vacation for the family has been difficult. After hearing about your program, being accepted by the Hero’s Wish program would be a blessing. I appreciate what you’re doing for our service members and would love the opportunity to use your services to bring some happiness to my family. Thank you!
