Hero's Wish

What is a Hero's Wish?

Wish: SKI LIFT TICKET
All, Thank you for granting my wish this year. It has been a hard year with combat deployments and other personnel things in my life. This day is a day that I will never forget. Again thank you. Respectfully MSGT Sagredo Ismael

Veteran Tickets Foundation is proud to bring the Hero's Wish program to our members!

Deployed, wounded and families of those killed in action are shouldering the hardest burdens of military service. Their duty has impacted their lives in ways the rest of America can only imagine. To relieve their burden of stress Vet Tix would like to give a once in a lifetime event to these Heroes. Hero's Wish events create wonderful experiences that they can always remember to heal their spirit and bring them together as a family. For those who have suffered, we want to welcome them back and bring enjoyment back into their lives.

Hero's Wish allows members who meet certain criteria to request specific tickets for any single event (NOTE: We are not capable of fulfilling meet and greets, trips, cruises, hotel stays or flights), and have donors fulfill that request either by ticket donation or by donating money to make the hero's wish come true.

The Hero's Wish program can be used by Active Duty Military Personnel (up to six months after their deployments), severely wounded Veterans (Purple Heart Required) and the families of men and women killed in action (KIA).

After submitting a Hero's Wish, Vet Tix will work with the veteran to verify the Hero's Wish requirements are met. If all criteria are met, a member of the Hero's Wish will be assigned to facilitate wish fulfillment. Veteran Tickets Foundation does not discriminate based on race, religion, sex or social status.

The Vet Tix Hero's Wish team and other volunteers explore possible ways to make the Hero's Wish come true for our veteran. Most Hero's Wishes are funded on a case by case basis with funds donated through the website and by the Hero's Wish team working hard with our donors and venues to make the Hero's Wish a reality.

My name is Adam. I am a major in the Army and I have been serving for 12 years. I am currently deployed in support of Operation Spartan Shield in the Middle East. I have a wife and 4 kids at home. 2 daughters ages 8 and 6, and 2 sons ages 5 and 1. When I get back from this deployment, I will have been gone longer than I was around my youngest. My wife has been superwoman taking the kids to soccer, dance, basketball, t-ball and softball as well as the many school events. Every time a Disney commercial comes on the kids always ask when we are going to go, so I’d like to make that wish come true for them when I am back from deployment. My wish is for 3 day tickets plus park hopper for the 6 of us to let my family enjoy that Disney magic.

My name is Adam and I am requesting a 3-Day VIP pass or a Boss Pass to Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama, October 3 - 5. A large list of my favorite bands, some of which I listened to push me through my deployments, are getting back together and playing at this festival. I am requesting the upgraded passes to provide me with access to the less crowded areas, avoiding any anxiety or PTSD triggers

Hello, we are the Harmon family. I'm Glenn, and I've been privileged to serve my country through three deployments. Now, I'm excited to start a new chapter and create unforgettable memories with my loved ones. During my last deployment, I missed several special milestones, including my triplets' 3rd birthday, my daughter's 11th birthday, my wife's birthday, and our 10th wedding anniversary. My wife has done an amazing job holding the house down, all while working full time and juggling many schedules. I'm looking forward to making up for lost time and taking my family on a magical adventure to Disneyland when I return home. Thank you for your support in getting our family of 6 to Disneyland with lightning lane passes!

I am returning from my 4th deployment and would like to take my wife and 3 kids to Disney World, this will be the first time for my kids, ages 9,6,4. I have already missed 2 years of my two oldest sons' lives and never seem to have the time to make up for lost time. This would be the first Disney trip for all of them, and I would love for them to experience the joy I had going as a kid. This would also be for my Wife, we honeymooned at Disney 15 years ago. She has been a rock for me and my boys throughout my military career. We would need 5 tickets for the family, my wife, 3 children, and myself.

Hello, my name is Alvin, and I’m currently on my sixth and final deployment in the Middle East. I am in the process of applying for retirement next year, which means I will have one more year of service before officially transitioning out of the military. This deployment has been particularly challenging because my daughter, who is turning nine soon, is now old enough to truly understand and remember my absence. My greatest wish is to surprise her with a family trip to Disney World for the four of us when I return home in a few months. I also care for my mother after the loss of my father nine years ago, and my wife has shown incredible strength and resilience throughout every deployment. She truly deserves a meaningful break, and my daughter deserves a magical experience to make up for the special moments we've missed together. This wish is not just for me, but for the incredible people who have stood by me through everything: my wife, my daughter, and my mom. I want to express my gratitude for their love, patience, and sacrifice throughout my years of service.
