Past Hero's Wishes
My name is Luis. I am currently deployed to the Middle East. This will be my 4th deployment/rotation away from my family. This year was especially rough for both my 3yr old and 9yr old due to me being deploying throughout the entirety of the winter holidays. I would love to re-create the high spirits by taking my kids and wife to Disney World during my post deployment leave. Thank you.

My name is Dale. I am the recipient of both the Purple Heart and Bronze star, but the true hero in my family's life is 11-year old daughter. She was diagnosed with Epilepsy at the age of 2. Her battle is silent. Her seizures are not always clear to the human eye, and can be as simple as a stare or a blink, but it has had a significant impact on her learning and causes significant delays. She struggles at school, but we are constantly getting calls and notes sent home about how hard she works and how she is always helping others. She gives her all in whatever she does. Despite her disability, she remains the light of our eyes. I am no longer able to make the trips to Disney World due to trouble walking other long-term injuries, but would love to be able for her to go and enjoy the magic. My wife is the primary caretaker for both my daughter and I, and she deserves a girl's trip with our daughter so that she can spend the entire trip focusing on her and making it extra special. I am therefore requesting Disney World park hopper tickets for her 12th birthday, which is in early April of this year. This would give them a little more freedom to bring back souvenirs and enjoy all that Disney has to offer without the worry of the ticket cost. I would love to be able to reward my small but mighty hero little girl.

There are not enough words to say how thankful my family and I are for this unforgettable experience! My daughter had the best time, and to see her smile warmed my heart so much. Without donors like you and your support, this would not have been possible. Disney really is the Happiest Place on Earth! Our child will never forget this trip. Vet Tix made us all feel like celebrities with their treatment prior to leaving. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for doing this for us!

My name is Jesse. I'm currently deployed for a 2nd time in the 11 year AF career. I have a loving wife, Kaitlyn and together have two beautiful children Reiley (3) and Everett (1.5). I have missed both of my children's birthdays along with the summer holidays this year. My hope is to be enjoy a family vacation together when I return home from this deployment. This is my first deployment with a wife and 2 kids at home. The last 7 months without our family being together has been very hard on us. I have missed a lot of quality family time since April and we would love to make up for it by going on a Disney trip! We haven't been on a family vacation since we have had kids and would love to finally go on one! Disneyland would absolutely be a dream come true as None of us have ever been there before so we're really excited to hopefully be able to go!

My name is Michael. It was always a dream of mine as a young boy growing up in the 80's, and since the very first WrestleMania, was to go to one. Nearly 40 years later I now have a 6 year old son who shares the same passion for Wrestling as I did when I was a boy. So the dream I once had now has come back to share it with my only child. This year the event is scheduled in Philadelphia our home arena. My son was born at 15 oz and was considered a micro preemie who spent his first 6 months in the neonatal intensive care unit at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Mikey is a Miracle and he is my Hero. I hope my wish is fulfilled for him. I would like 3 tickets, one for my wife but two would be perfectly fine.

My name is Ricardo. I am currently deployed to Jordan as part of Operation Inherent Resolve. I am married with 3 kids. My son plays hockey and loves to watch football, baseball, hockey, and wrestling. My youngest daughter likes to skate. I love to watch both of them on the ice. Being at the rink is my happy place. My son just had his 11 birthday. This is the first time I have been away from him and been unable to celebrate. I told him that we would do something fun when I get back. We love to attend sporting events together. I wish to take him to WrestleMania 2024 in Philadelphia. I have taken him to Smackdown before and he has always been so appreciative. He would totally flip out if I took him to WrestleMania. I would like to thank everyone who donates to this site. It allows people like me a chance to spent valuable time with those we care about the most and to escape the worlds problems for a brief moment.

I want to thank everyone who donated to make it possible to take my son to WrestleMania after my most recent deployment. It was the best WrestleMania ever and I am so blessed to be able to share this experience with my son. For a moment it took me back to being a kid again when I used to watch wrestling with my father. My son kept thanking me all weekend for using my one time wish to take him. He wants to say thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Hello, my name is Brian and I am currently serving in the MN Army National Guard and have served for the last 10 Years. I recently returned home from an overseas deployment where my unit was responsible for a completely new mission that had not been done before. This was my second deployment but my first one with my wife which made it harder. She struggled with some mental health issues while I was gone so I would like to be able to surprise her with a graduation trip to Disney World to show how proud I am of her for making it through this deployment. She has wanted to go to Disney World since we have been married but we have not had the money to be able to afford it. I would like 2 5-Day Park Hopper passes.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
My wife and I would like to thank everyone who donated to this truly amazing trip. Even though we had to delay the trip it made it more special because we got to spend our 4 year anniversary at the most magical place on earth. We could not have made this trip happen without the generosity of all of you.

My name is Casey, and I will be coming off of my fourth deployment with the Army in just a few short months. My wife and I have three wonderful children and would like to do something special for our family. We had our second child in October of 2019, just five months before COVID really hit. Between closures across the country and my wife being an ICU nurse, raising young children during a pandemic, the regular trials of life, military trainings and another deployment, we would love to give our family a chance to relax and live our what is a dream for many. With costs on the rise it gets harder and harder to make these things happen, and having a wish granted would truly make a difference for our family at a time when we could really use some R&R. Wishing to be gifted or helped with the cost of 4, 5-Day park hopper passes to Walt Disney World

Thank You Message from the Hero:
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

Hello, my name is Jeffrey, and I am currently deployed to the Middle East. I have a 3-year-old son who loves everything Disney and an almost 9-month-old daughter, born a month before I left, but is the happiest little girl in the world. Since this is my first deployment, the whole family has had some major life transitions and stresses simultaneously. We planned on taking the kids to Disney World for my son’s 4th birthday after I got home, but budgeting while gone and trying to plan a fun vacation for the family has been difficult. After hearing about your program, being accepted by the Hero’s Wish program would be a blessing. I appreciate what you’re doing for our service members and would love the opportunity to use your services to bring some happiness to my family. Thank you!
