Current Hero's Wishes
My wish that would mean the world to my family and I would be attending the World Cup 2026 Finals. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for My Daughter, 2 Sons, and I to experience what we love together, all together. Financially most of our bonding is done separately for our love of sports, having the opportunity to all 4 attend World Cup Matches together is unbelievable to me. Since being wounded, while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, soccer and sporting events in general, have become a major part of our bonding and our relationship. The chance of even attending any World Cup 2026 events as a family is unbelievable to begin with and we would be greatly appreciated.

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.

This is my fifth deployment, and while I’ve learned how to carry the weight of being away, my family continues to carry the heavier load at home. My wife holds everything together for our four daughters—school days, practices, rehearsals, homework, and the emotional reality of growing up with a parent far away. Distance, time zones, and the uncertainty of today’s world add to that strain, and every missed moment reminds us how much these seasons ask of military families. As our daughters grow older, time together has become something we have to protect intentionally. Their lives are fuller now, moving quickly toward independence. Our oldest is preparing to join the Air Force, and with a possible move later this year, change feels close and constant. These transitions have made us more aware of how quickly this chapter is passing. Upon my return from deployment, I hope to pause and reconnect as a family. A family trip to Disney World would give us uninterrupted time to be present with one another—to laugh, talk, and create memories that carry us into the next stage of our lives. This wouldn’t simply be a vacation, but a moment to reflect, reconnect, and honor the sacrifices my wife and daughters have made alongside my service. Thank you for supporting military families and helping make moments like this possible.

My family and I would love to go to Disney World. We have never attended the theme park and had always been a wish of ours. I recently just got back from the Middle East and would love to take my family on a vacation here. During these times I cannot afford to take my family to buy tickets, hotels, food, and transportation. If I can get any help I would greatly appreciate it to take my family before I PCS from Fort Hood.

Hello, My name is Ross. I am a Soldier stationed at Fort Riley and have recently returned from my second deployment in 15 years of service. I would like to request a wish to attend a Kansas City Chiefs game with my family of five. Throughout my deployments and time away from home, my family has made tremendous sacrifices and has been incredibly supportive. While I was deployed, they worked hard to keep everything running at home, and I am very grateful for their strength and resilience. Having the opportunity to attend a Chiefs game together would provide us with a special chance to reconnect, create lasting memories, and enjoy quality family time after multiple deployments and extended separations. It would mean a great deal to all of us and would be a memorable way to celebrate being back together. Thank you for your consideration and for everything you do to support service members and their families.

This October will be 15 years of marriage for my wife and I. We met while I was serving and have been watching Vikings games together ever since. On September 20, 2026 the Vikings will play the Chicago Bears for what may be the last time at Soldier field. My wife and I were hoping to make it to that game for our anniversary.

Hero's Wish Feedback
Paul says:
Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to take my children to a Wiggles concert. It's something that they've always wanted to do. I was thrilled to have the chance to do this with them, because before I was injured I spent a lot of time away from home in the Army and now I spend a lot of time at school and at doctor's appointments. This was something they will never forget, they even got to meet some of the performers after the show. We had so much fun! You guys are the best! Thanks again for giving me and my kids a fun and memorable experience; it means the world to us!

Martin Family says:
Our family is so very grateful to all of the donors who made this trip happen. Thank you to Jennifer, Colby, Tim, Karen, and especially Leslie and Thomas! This kids has such a fun time. We had heavy rain on Tuesday, which meant that instead of being one of the busiest days of the year, the Magic Kingdom was nearly empty (it was a warm rain and we were prepared with head-to-toe gore tex and a stroller cover). Our oldest daughter cannot stop talking about meeting Ariel, her favorite princess. Our son is a die hard Star Wars fan, and loved meeting the characters and riding on Star Tours. My wife and I are so happy that we were able to spend a few days at Disney World with our kids. The weather was warm and it was good to get away from the cold winter. Thank you to all the donors, and thank you Vet Tix! God bless everyone who made this possible, and God bless America!

Travis says:
Sending a huge "Thank You" and great deal of gratitude to Henry, Donald, Travis, Yolando and other HERO's for their donations in making our HERO's Wish come true. My family and I are extremely humbled and joyful for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy Walt Disney World! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and commend the Veteran Tickets organization and their donors for what they do!

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.

Raquel says:
When I made this wish, my intention was to facilitate my reunion with my children after almost a year of separation. However, I now realize that it holds greater significance as it coincides with major life events: my eldest child graduating high school, embarking on the journey of adulthood, and my own transition from military service to new identities and chapters. Thank you for the opportunity to reconnect with my family during these significant moments in our lives.
