Hello Everyone! My name is Bryan, and I just came back from a 6-month deployment to Kuwait. Our family was separated from each other during all major holidays and birthdays. My wife has sacrificed just as much, if not more than I have, by sacrificing her career for us to be active duty. I would really like to be able to take my family to Disneyland as a special treat to thank my family for the sacrifice they have also given. Thank you for all of your help in advance!

My name is Cory Smith and I have been in the Army for 9 years. I am currently on a deployment in Central America. I have been married to my wife for 9 years and we have two amazing kids, a 4 year old daughter and a 3 year old son. This is the first deployment we have gone through and the longest we have ever been apart. My kids have sacrificed so much and my wife has been my greatest supporter. She has held our family together while I've been gone and has taken it in stride. I have missed some major milestones, birthdays, and holidays and would love to surprise my family with a 3 day Universal Studios and Volcano Bay trip with fast passes. This trip would be an opportunity to make up for all the memories I missed out on creating. And most importantly, this would be a great token of appreciation to my wife and kids for their endless support. Thank you for your consideration and all of your support!

Hello my name is Angel. I have been serving in the Army for 15 years. 8 of them were active while the rest in the reserves. I am currently deployed in Iraq and at the tail end of my tour and would love to take my wife and 15 year old son to a surprise visit to six flags. This is my 3rd overseas tour and second combat deployment. During my career in the military I have missed numerous important events including multiple birthdays, anniversaries, and accomplishments. I would love to show my family how much I appreciate them and a fun trip filled with adrenaline rides. Especially to build a tighter bond with my son who had to endure my absence numerous times due to mission requirements and schooling. I appreciate you all for reading

Hi, I'm Jeremy. I'm a psychologist in the Air Force and currently at Al Dhafra Air Base. Out here, I'm responsible for the psychological health of around 2000 Soldiers, Airmen, and Marines. I'm also fortunate to lead a team of expeditionary medics, who respond at all hours to medical emergencies. It's both a privilege and meaningful work. Even so, my family could use me at home, and when I finally get there, I'd like to make the reunion special. Your help will make it possible. It was nearly my worst fear. A month after deploying, my home flooded, and my family was displaced. I was and am unable to do much to support them, while the four of them live in a small hotel room awaiting the repairs to be done ...and me to come home. Right now, my children wouldn't even have books or teddy bears if I hadn't been able to send them after they were moved out of the house. I want to do something to surprise them -- something we couldn't do without *your* help. I'd like to get these kids to Disneyland.

My name is Bradley. I’ve served in the Army for 17 years now. I’ve been stationed in Germany and deployed on combat rotations twice. Just got back from a 10 month deployment to Poland in Oct of 24. I’m married to an amazing wife named Courtney and we have four children together. My family and I have been dreaming of the day to go to Disney World. Unfortunately we haven’t had the time or money so it’s been delayed again and again.

Hi, I am Matt, a severely wounded combat veteran of OEF. I lost my right leg to an IED in 2010 in Afghanistan. Though my scars may not be fresh, the wounds have endured. I suffer from PTSD, TBI, and more complications due to the amputation. My wife and I are a family of 8, with 5 boys and 1 girl. A trip for all 8 of us is something we can only dream of. We know that a wish like this would be one that every member of our family would cherish for the rest of their lives. This is a humble request for the once in a lifetime chance for our family of 8 to go on a memorable trip together, create some core memories and enjoy the magic of Disney. For our children, aged 13 to 3, this would be a once in a lifetime experience.

Hello all, My name is Josh. I’ve served in the Air Force for 15 years, with the last five years working as a Program Manager. I am married to my best friend for almost 16 years and we were blessed with four wonderful kids, two girls and two boys, ranging in age from 14 to seven. I am currently deployed to the Middle East while my family serves back home to keep the ship afloat, so to speak. This deployment has asked a lot of the five of them over the past several months and I wanted to express my gratitude to them for going above and beyond, especially my wife, who is the embodiment of servant leadership while I’ve been away. My wife loves to share experiences as a family, and my kids love superhero’s and Harry Potter, so it would be great to treat the four kids to a 3 day Universal Studios - Orlando trip. After being away from each other for so long - missing birthdays, holidays, and first days of high school - sharing this moment together as a family would be a much appreciated time of refocus and reinvigoration. Thank you for your consideration and for all that you do in support of the veterans!

I would like to be able to take them on this trip as an apology for missing these very important times in there lives while I'm serving the people of our great country, and use this to celebrate them and make memories to go along with the one's I will dearly miss. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request and have a blessed day.

My name is Natalie I am 1LT in the Army. I have been away from my family since June 23, 2024. While deployed I would listen to Creed everyday in Centcom. My wish is to be able to see Creed at Pinnacle Bank Arena with my spouse on August 1st 2025.

Hi! My name is Jeff and I am currently on 13 month mobilization orders deployed to the Middle East. Proudly serving in the US Navy Reserve, this is my fourth overseas deployment in 6 years. I’d really like to surprise my family with a long overdue vacation. My wife and I are parents to a disabled, special needs adult child that gets super excited about anything Disney. We have always wanted to be able to plan a trip to take him to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. My wife is the real hero here as she has been home holding things down and taking care of our boy while I've been away. This particular deployment was made more challenging because of course, everything waits for me to leave to go wrong so she has faced home repairs and dealt with having to get the AC fixed in the heat of the Texas summer. Her car has been in for repairs as well. The sacrifices she makes every day in support of our family are not easy but she goes above and beyond to get it all done! I am so proud of her and wish so much to make her dream a realization and take our family on this vacation to make up for all the time I have missed through these deployments! I expect to return home by early May 2024 and would really appreciate any help in making this wish for four, 3-day park-hopper-plus tickets (with available disability services) come true! If it does, we would plan our trip between April and September 2025. Thank you for taking the time to read my wish!

Hello, my name is David and I am writing this asking for your help to fulfill a family trip to help celebrate our retirement from the Military. I enlisted in the military in 2004 and over the past 20 years of service, 14 of those have been in special operations. My career has taken me on 16 combat deployments, resulting in many missed holidays, birthdays, and significant family events. My service has been the honor of my life, but now I am seeking support for a family trip to help mend those missed moments and reconnect with my loved ones. We are seeking a 5-day 3 park pass to Universal Studios Orlando. Now that my kids are tall enough to ride anything, we looking forward to enjoying every attraction the park has to offer. Thanks!

Hello, my name is Stephanie. I’m 29 years old and currently serving in the Army. Over the course of my career, I’ve had one overseas deployment that changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. During that deployment, my family endured unimaginable pain. We lost a loved one, and I received the devastating news that my daughter had been a victim of S/A at the hands of someone we trusted. Around the same time, my wife’s mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Being away from my family during such a difficult time was one of the hardest challenges I’ve faced. I couldn’t be there to support them when they needed me most, and that weighs heavy on my heart. All I want now is to give my little girl a moment of happiness, a chance to feel like a carefree child again. Taking her to the happiest place on earth is a small dream, but one I believe she deserves after everything she’s been through. While I know this won’t fix what has happened, I hope it can bring a smile to her face and create a precious memory for her to hold onto. If you’re able to support us in making this dream come true, my family and I would be forever grateful. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to giving her this special experience. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer.
