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.

Lifelong wish to attend a home Steelers game with my family. We have never been to a Steelers game. If I can get this wish granted it would be a miracle. I would take my 2 sons and my dad with me to the game cause his health is failing. I have never asked for anything like this. I appreciate the chance to fulfill a dream come true so I thank you in advance.

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.

The biggest thank you to Tom, Sir, Thomas, Sharell, Brent, Anita, Oscar, Stacia, Elizabeth, for helping me create a memory with my wife & girls that truly meant to world to us. A time where "Life" stopped for a minute & we could just be with each other, that we will cherish forever, that would not be possible without people like Cyndy, Paul, Melissa, Phillip, Kenneth, Leah, Lizeth, and the hero's wish. Thank you to every generous person who cared about me & my family. The Durbins

Words cannot fully express the overwhelming gratitude my family and I feel for the incredible generosity that made our Hero's Wish come true through Vet Tix. Thanks to donations from generous donors like Kenneth, John, Eulalio, KrisAnn, Rebecca, Robert, Kobe, William, Rosemary, Evander, and several others, we were able to take our first family trip to Walt Disney World—a dream that seemed impossible until your kindness made it a reality. For my wife, this trip fulfilled a lifelong dream she never thought would happen. Watching her experience the magic of Disney for the very first time was a gift beyond measure. But perhaps even more precious was witnessing our ASD/IDD son's pure joy as he met Mickey Mouse and his favorite characters in person. The wonder in his eyes, his infectious laughter, and the way he lit up with each new discovery reminded us all of what true magic looks like. This wasn't just a vacation—it was a chance for our family to create memories that will last a lifetime. In moments when daily challenges can feel overwhelming, we now have these beautiful experiences to hold onto. Your generosity gave us more than a trip; you gave us hope, joy, and the reminder that there are still people who believe in taking care of one another. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our family and for making dreams come true. Your kindness has touched our lives in ways you may never fully know, but we will carry this gratitude with us always. With deepest appreciation, Jeff

I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to my Hero Wish for a post-deployment trip to Disney World. Your support made it possible for me and my family to experience something truly special after a long and challenging time away. This trip wasn’t just a vacation—it was a much-needed chance to reconnect with my loved ones and create joyful memories that will stay with us forever. Watching my children light up with wonder at the Disney parades and share laughter with them on the rides helped me feel a sense of peace I hadn’t realized I was missing. For a few days, we were able to escape the stress, the separation, and the weight of service life, and just be a family again. None of that would have been possible without your selfless gift. Your support goes far beyond dollars—it brings healing, unity, and joy to military families like mine. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping make this dream come true.

Thank you so much to Stage 3 Motorsports, Vet Tix and the other donors who made this possible. Seeing Michael Jackson ONE was awesome! Our kids LOVED the music, the acrobats, and the dancing. Seeing their faces light up with smiles and happiness the whole show was rewarding in itself! They even had a hologram of Michael towards the end, and it was a bittersweet realization that he really is gone and this was the closest thing we'd get to see him in concert. We're beyond blessed to have such amazing supporters of military like you guys. I'm forever grateful that I got to take my family somewhere as a thank you for their hard work and support during my deployment. Thank you guys so much!

To our Generous donors, Thank you so much for helping us in taking our family to Disney for a much needed vacation, and the ability to achieve a dream of ours in taking our children on a trip to Disney. Our family visited all of the parks, and also met some of our favorite Disney characters. We were able to attend a character breakfast where the kids were able to meet Eyeore, Piglett, Tigger, and Winnie the Pooh. They also met Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Russel from the movie “Up”. Their favorite rides were the Kilimanjaro Safari ride at Animal Kingdom, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Hollywood Studios, and Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid at Magic Kingdom. We were also able to coordinate with my mother in law to watch the kids on two separate evenings, allowing for my wife and I to have a date night. We visited Magic Kingdom for dinner and Epcot, which is currently having their annual flower and garden festival. It was wonderful to be able to have some time as just husband and wife and focus on us outside of the normal craziness of life. Our family can not thank you enough for your generosity. Your gift allowed us to take a trip as a family where we could focus on each other, relax and have fun. All while creating memories we will remember forever. Thank you, SSG Casey Donovan
