Past Hero's Wishes
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.

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!

Hello, my name is Estevan. I am a Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 12 years, and we have three kids, ages 5, 7, and 11. My wife and kids are my world; they have sacrificed so much. I joined the Air Force in 2012 to support my family and give my son a life better than my wife and I had growing up. At the time, my oldest son was just 9 months old. I served on active duty for 7 years. During that time, I earned several awards, deployed for 7.5 months, became a Military Working Dog (MWD) handler, and then a MWD trainer. I have served an additional 4 years in the Air National Guard since then while serving my community as a Sheriff's Deputy and a member of the S.W.A.T. team. In the past 11 years, I have been diligent in taking on as many additional training opportunities as possible, attending several Schools out of town in order to sharpen my skills and allow me to serve my community and country well. Even while I've been home, my family has sacrificed countless hours for me, working additional hours to train my K-9, offering support to the K-9 teams I was in charge of training, improving my marksmanship skills, staying after work to help troops, and more. I am currently deployed. I will miss all my kids' birthdays this year, several holidays, and my oldest and youngest starting middle school and Kindergarten. Over the 11 years in the Air Force, I have missed too many birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and milestones, but my wife and kids have been troopers. They hold down the fort to support me and the mission, even at the expense of time together as a family. We have started saving to take our kids to Disney World (this would be a first for our entire family), and we will hopefully have enough by 2025. I would love to be able to surprise my kids with the opportunity to take them when I get home from my deployment instead. I respectfully ask for help in attaining 5-day Disney World hopper passes for my family of five. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am very thankful for your time and consideration.

THANK YOU TO: All of the Anonymous Generous People, Paul in Honor of Dennis Phillips, Debe in Honor of Son Luke now serving in Middle East USAF, Nancy in Honor of Dotty, Prissy, HarleyD, & Mac (fur kids), Ryan in Honor of Ryan, Mary in Honor of Eleazar, Richard, Raul, Thomas, Roger, John, Dalton, DAVID, Brenna, Denise, Joseph, SIMONNE, heather, Larry, and Hero's Wish for making our Post Deployment Disney World Vacation Wish come true! Our family had the time of our lives. We had so much time to reconnect, laugh, and create so many fun memories. I loved being able to spend quality time reconnecting with my kids and see them smile and laugh so much. They've been through so much and I was so happy to be able to take them on such a fun vacation. My daughter screamed with happiness riding the Slinky Dog and Everest roller coasters and was so excited to meet the princesses. Our boys had a great time at Disney as well. They had so much fun riding Guardians of the Galaxy and Tron, and said Hollywood Studios was their favorite park. It was a dream vacation and it couldn't have been possible without the support from all of you. I cannot put into words how much this meant to us. We are eternally grateful. Thank you!!

I'm Clayton, and in the picture are my wife and my 1-year-old daughter (not pictured our three fur animals)! I am currently deployed, and we want a vacation to Walt Disney World upon my return! My daughter will be 2 soon, and she already loves everything Disney. My wife was classified as an essential medical employee, so we have had a long couple of years between COVID-19, pregnancy, and this deployment. We hope to finally wind down for a bit and enjoy some quality time together as partners and parents. We greatly appreciate every one of you taking the time to read this, and thank you so much for everything in advance!

Thank You Message from the Hero:
I just wanted to say thank you very much to all of the sponsors who helped make this trip possible! It was an amazing way to reconnect with my family after being overseas for a year, and a memory that I will cherish for a lifetime. We were able to attend with my wife's sisters and their families, which made the trip even more special. As Disney says, this is the most magical place on Earth. I cannot emphasize enough how I appreciative I am of you all being able to afford my family the opportunity to experience that magic firsthand. We are forever grateful, and it makes me extremely proud to serve the United States of America.

I am currently deployed returning back to Tampa, Fl the month of November. I have served in the USAF for nearly 20 years and been away from my family for most the 2023 year with trainings and this seven month deployment. At the completion of this deployment, I will have missed 2 of my children’s birthday. I have three children, one step daughter and my husband. My three children have been through a lot without a biological parent and have been amazing. I was informed some news that is resulting in some big changes and before we transition to this next phase, I’d like to be mom for a bit and allow them to just relax & celebrate through making memories. My children are 17. 13, & 11. My birthday is in November and my other son’s birthday is in December. Due to their gender and ages, I would like to book reservations where we can take our time and visit the different parks without the commute of traveling from Tampa to Orlando every day and really decompress and reconnect. We spoke about celebrating our birthdays together when I returned. I’m also looking at retiring and starting a new chapter with my family.
