Current Hero's Wishes
Hello my name is Donavan. I went on deployment in Iraq and Kuwait. I have been away from my family for about 9 months. I just want to spend the time with my family for loss of time if possible. I am married to my wife Sierra. We got married while I was on deployment. We have 2 children, Penelope and Rowan. I am 27 years old and turn 28 on the 15th of October. My wife is also turning 28 on the 1st of October and would love if we could get our wish fulfilled. I'm apart of the 101st CAB. It was my first deployment in Iraq and Kuwait. I am located at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

Military life means missing birthdays, ordinary weeknights, and the everyday moments that keep a family grounded. Through the long hours, thinking about my family is what carries me. We are a massive Ravens household, and following our team has always been a vital connection to home and normalcy for me. I made a promise to my family that we would celebrate our time together and make up for lost time by going to a Ravens game. It would mean the world to walk through the gates of M&T Bank Stadium together as a family and cheer on our team in person!

I’m an Active Duty Army Officer, and this wish is to celebrate my return home after a year of combat duty. I received the Combat Action Badge during this tour and unfortunately lost 8 comrades. I would greatly appreciate the honor of attending a Dallas Cowboys home game, ideally the Thanksgiving home game against Philadelphia, with my mom, step-dad, and fiancé, who are all 100% disabled veterans.

My Hero's Wish is to attend the Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers game at AT&T Stadium with my family. I recently returned home after spending nine months deployed overseas. During part of that deployment, I was forward deployed to a bare-base location where we endured repeated ballistic-missile attacks and defensive intercepts. After months of long hours, alarms, uncertainty, and being separated from home, returning to normal life has taken time. My family has supported me through 18 years of deployments, missed milestones, and unpredictable schedules. This wish is as much for them as it is for me: a chance to spend the day together at one of football's greatest rivalries and create a positive memory after a difficult deployment.

I have been a basketball fan my whole life. I have been to several WNBA games, but I have never once seen LeBron James play in person. He came into the league the same year I went to war, and following his career has been one of the constants through everything that came after. My Hero's Wish is two tickets to see the Los Angeles Lakers play the Philadelphia 76ers on March 4, 2027, hopefully watching LeBron in a Sixers uniform against his former team. I would take my partner, Tasha, who has stood beside me through all of it. I am having back surgery in October 2026, and I will be fully recovered and cleared well before March. Standing in that arena and seeing one of the greatest to ever play, while I still have the chance, would be a once-in-a-lifetime memory for the two of us. Thank you for considering my wish, and thank you to every donor who makes these moments possible for veterans and their families.

First and foremost, wow I would like to thank everyone who made this experience possible. The game was amazing and definitely an experience I will never forget. I got to meet my all time favorite player to cap off the night. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who made those possible. God bless you all

I wish I could share more pictures! Words can not express the impact you provided my family this summer. To be able to visit four Disney World Theme Parks was truly a dream come true. My daughter, who is autistic, actually talked to someone (Princess Ariel) other than my wife and I, for the first time since she was 2! This gift wasn't just an opportunity to spend time together, it provided an opportunity for growth. Thank you sponsors!

I would like to personally thank all of the great people who have donated to my Hero's Wish. It is because of people like you and VET TIX that keeps us knowing that we are not forgotten. This event was the first one I have been to since being severely injured and losing my men on 22 April 2011. I had one of the best times of my life. I would like for the special people who have donated and VET TIX to know that you have a special place in my heart. My spirit has been lifted, I realized that life doesn't have to be stuck in the house isolated. All of you were apart of this and hopefully it touches your hearts as much as it touched mine. Thank you and may GOD bless you all.

To everyone at VetTix and to the incredibly generous donors, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it possible for me and my children to attend the England vs. Panama FIFA World Cup match. As a veteran, opportunities like this mean far more than just attending a sporting event. They create memories that will last a lifetime. Being able to share the excitement, atmosphere, and once-in-a-lifetime experience of a World Cup match with my kids is something we’ll never forget. Seeing their faces light up as we walked into the stadium and experienced the energy together is a gift that simply can’t be measured. Your generosity not only honors veterans but also gives our families opportunities to spend meaningful time together creating unforgettable moments. Those memories are priceless, and because of your kindness, my children and I will always have this incredible experience to look back on. Thank you to VetTix for everything you do for veterans and military families, and thank you to every donor whose generosity makes these experiences possible. Your support truly makes a difference in the lives of families like mine. With sincere gratitude, Ret. SSG Michael Sippel & Family!
