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.

I would love to take my Fiancé and our three girls, ages 5, 9, and 12, to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. My children have never been, and I remember going as a child and making lasting memories. I would love to take them to Disney and am asking for 5 tickets for two park days. My children love everything Disney, and I would love to make our forever memories.

Hello, we are the Powell Family. I am Daniel, an E-7 Chief Boatswain Mate in the United States Coast Guard, currently serving my second tour overseas in Bahrain as part of Patrol Forces Southwest Asia. I am married to my loving wife, Daisy, and blessed with two amazing children, Delano and Desmin, who are 9 and 11 years old. While my work is challenging and rewarding, I believe my family shoulders the greatest burden: my children being without their father for a total of two and a half years during my deployments, and most importantly, my wife, who is currently in remission from lymphoma. Her courage, resilience, and strength in managing our household during my absence inspire me every day. Our wish is to create lasting family memories by visiting Disney World upon my return from deployment. We are respectfully requesting assistance in obtaining multi day park hopper plus tickets for my family. This experience would not only be a dream come true for our children but also serve as a much-needed morale boost for my wife and our entire family after these challenging few years.

Hello! My name is Nathan. I am an 11 year veteran on my way home from my second tour. I am writing this in hopes of you being able to help my family create new memories and make up for lost time in a trip to Disney World. Every service member knows that being a parent while deployed isn’t exactly easy. For me, hearing my two boys wonder where I am and ask when I am coming home is always so difficult, especially around their birthdays. I wasn’t able to make it home for the birth of my second child last deployment. This deployment I lost my grandfather this summer and wasn’t able to attend his funeral. This compounded a lot of stress on my family and I, but have made it thus far. My wife, Mary, is the rock in our marriage; a retired veteran after 22 years of dedicated service and a mother of two handsome boys, has worked tirelessly to get our kids to summer camp and to keep them happy and healthy while I’m deployed, as well as taking over my chores as well. For my Hero’s Wish, I am asking you to help me get our family 4 Park Hopper Passes to Walt Disney World. This isn’t just a wish for me, this wish is for my wife who held this family together and for my kids to have breakfast with their favorite Disney characters.

My name is Sarah. I have been in the Air Force since 2006. My most recent deployment had me away from my family for nearly four months. I just returned from a deployment to INDOPACOM at the end of April and would like to take my family to Disneyland; this year has been difficult for all of us, and it will be nice to relax together now that things are getting back to normal.

My name is Rosemary, an Army veteran and the widow of Army SSG Jeremy A. Brown. Jeremy was killed in action on July 3, 2005, while deployed in Mosul, Iraq. At the time, he had just begun our third consecutive deployment to Iraq since we were married. Our married life was defined by service to our country. While Jeremy was completing his first deployment, I arrived to start mine — passing each other in Kuwait by a single day. When I returned home, he was deployed again. We celebrated our marriage with a big family wedding during his two-week R&R, but we never had the chance to take a honeymoon or share a family vacation together. I have remained unmarried for the past 20 years, and have a son who is 19. He is a wonderful young man and a devoted WWE fan. My wish is to share with him a special experience we will both cherish — attending WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Specifically, I am requesting two 2-day tickets so that we can enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime event together. This would not only fulfill a dream for my son but also honor the life and sacrifices that have shaped our family’s journey.
