Post Deployment Red Sox Game

Sep 11th 2023

My name is Darren. My wife and I have been married for 4 years in September and during that time she has deployed twice and I have deployed once, meaning we have spent plenty of time doing long distance. We are huge baseball fans and have had the goal since we started dating back in 2016 of visiting every baseball stadium. So far we have been to 10 out of the 30 stadiums together! We are HUGE Red Sox fans and would love to attend the Red Sox vs Yankees game in Boston on September 11th. With my wife and I being dual military not only would this be a great anniversary gift, but it would give us the opportunity to see our families who both live on the east coast since it is tough for both of us to request time off together. We are requesting 2 tickets to the game, preferably on the green monster but would take any seats available. We have never been able to go to a Red Sox vs Yankees game in Boston, I can only imagine the energy the stadium will have! I appreciate your time and any support towards this goal. Thank you all.

I would like to say thank you to Simonne, Richard and Shayna along with the whole Vet Tix crew to make this happen! We are so thankful to have had this opportunity and it's all thanks to you. We had a great time even after it got postponed to the next day due to weather. We saw a good game but the Sox came up a little short in the end.

Walt Disney World Family Vacation

Sep 11th 2023

I'm in the Army National Guard currently serving my 3rd tour to the Middle East. I've been in the guard for 17.5 years and I'm wishing to be able to take my family on a trip to Disney World when I get home from my deployment. I've been married to my wife for 12 years and we have 3 kids. During the Covid Pandemic my wife and I found out that her niece was having issues with her living situation, we decided to adopt her to give her a better life. My wife is a very strong and caring person that has had to deal with so much over my career in the military with deployments and being away for military training. I would love to be able to take my family on a trip to Disney World to show them how much I appreciated their support and how much I care about them. I would like 5 (4 Day Park Hopper) passes for myself my wife and 3 kids (19, 12 & 4). If you could help make our trip possible my family would be very grateful. Thank You

Post Deployment Disney World Vacation

Sep 9th 2023

My name is Parker and I am currently deployed to Middle East. I have been in the Army for 14 years now, and previously deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. This is the second deployment for my wife, and first for all three of my kids. We have a five-year-old boy, and twin three-year-old's that love everything Disney. It would be a dream of theirs to visit Disney World when I return from my deployment at the end of summer. I would like to get passes to Disney World for my family of five.

DISNEY WORLD SURPRISE TRIP!

Sep 5th 2023

Hello, my name is Nicholas. I've served in the active-duty Air Force for 8 years as a cybersecurity technician. I have been overseas for 4 of those years and TDY over 10 times. I have been married to my wonderful and supportive wife Carly going on six years. Recently I was tasked with a short-notice deployment to the Middle East immediately after returning home from a long TDY. This has caused me to be away from home and my family for all but two months of 2022. Throughout this, my wife has been so understanding and has been my anchor of sanity and support. I know this has been equally as hard on her as it has been for me, which is why I want to surprise her with a vacation to her favorite place on earth. My wife is a huge Disney fan and has been wanting to revisit Disney World for years. I would love to surprise her with 4-day park hopper tickets to Disney World in Florida. This would be our first vacation in two years and it would mean the world to catch up on some quality time with my wife that we both so desperately need! Thank you for your consideration and thank you Vettix for giving us the opportunity to share our story.

Post Deployment Disney World Vacation

Sep 4th 2023

Hello! My name is SSG David Crabaugh. I have served 14 years in the Army National Guard with 6 of those years being either mobilized for deployment or in the Active Guard and Reserves (AGR) program. I recently returned from an 11 month rotation in the Middle East where I operated in countries such as Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. This recent rotation in which I returned days prior to Thanksgiving was a tough one being away from home unlike the last when deployed to Afghanistan. The reason for this was my two sons, Dresden (7) and Dedrick (5). I thought being gone during the younger years would be easier than when they are older but I thought wrong. The missed birthdays, holidays and spending time with them means so much more at these ages. We have been blessed with good health while I was away serving but now that I am home the boys have one desire to take daddy too, welcome to the idea of Disney World 2023! My wife, Yamilka who is from the country of Panama, is a full time student with the University of Central Missouri working on a Bachelors Degree in Nutrition. This has been challenging for her these past two semesters while I was away. She will be finished in May 2023. I want to surprise them all with a much needed family vacation to Orlando and visit the parks of Disney World and make the boys dream come true and celebrate the success of my wife and show my appreciation to them all. We are seeking assistance with 4 4-day Park Hopper Passes.

DISNEY WORLD VACATION FOR ACTIVE-DUTY VETERAN RETURNING HOME FROM DEPLOYMENT

Aug 13th 2023

Greetings Everyone, My name is Travis Semones and I have recently returned home from a nine and half month deployment onboard USS HARRY S TRUMAN (CVN 75), in which we supported Carrier Strike Group Eight in strengthening our relationship with NATO partnership with our allies. It was originally scheduled to be a six month deployment, however due to the Russian aggression to Ukraine it quickly was extended. I have been in the United States Navy for thirty years now and have been on ten deployments. Of those thirty years in the service I have been married to my wife, Charlotte, for twenty-five of those years. We were fortunate enough to have three lovely children, Briana (24), Kylie, (21) and Brady (14). Unfortunately, due to my time in the service I have had to sacrifice much family time and have been separated from my family for an incredible amount of time and have missed some significant events in my families lives. It would be a great opportunity and honor to be considered for a Hero’s wish and be able to take my family to Disney World with a 5-day park hopper for each person in my family. I am extremely grateful for the consideration. Thank You!

Blackpink concert ticket request for me and my spouse

Aug 11th 2023

I am SSgt. Nicholas Gersper. I am married with no kids "yet". I have been in the military for almost 6 years and have been stationed in Minot North Dakota and Goldsboro North Carolina. I am currently deployed to Qatar. My wife's name is Erica. When I get back I wanted to take my wife Erica to see Blackpink. This was her first time dealing with a deployment as a military spouse and she stayed home alone by herself with our dog the entire time. She has been fantastic during this difficult experience. It has been especially difficult for her as an immigrant from the Philippines and she does not drive a vehicle so it is very difficult for her to be home alone this long as she likes to be very outgoing. I wanted to try to do something really special for her. Tickets can be very expensive. I will be back to the states from my deployment in early to mid June and I'm stationed in North Carolina so I'm requesting the concert in August. I wanted to make sure I repaid her for her effort by taking her to this concert. Thank you for considering my request. V/r SSgt Nicholas Gersper

Post Deployment Disneyland 4 Day, Park Hopper Passes with Genie+

Aug 5th 2023

My name is Sheldon Albee. I'm currently deployed for a 3rd time in the 10 years I've been active duty in the Air Force. I have a loving wife named Jade and together have two beautiful boys Maverick (4) and Baylor (2). I have missed both of my children’s birthdays along with the holidays this year. My hope is to enjoy a family vacation together when I return home from this deployment. This is my first deployment with a wife and a 2 and 4 year old at home. The last 7 months without our family together has been very hard on us. I have missed every holiday since October, both of our children's birthdays 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! We have never been to California! Disneyland would absolutely be a dream come true! None of us have ever been to Disney before so were really excited to hopefully be able to go!

A Disney World Dream Come True For My Princess

Jul 14th 2023

My name is SPC Jeremy Shine. I am a father of an awesome 6 year old daughter who was recently diagnosed with severe autism. Our little family has faced some challenges over the years but we are determined to live life to the fullest. While serving in Iraq, just a few months ago, my wife decided to put her career on hold to provide more educational assistance to my daughter, which became emotionally, physically, and financially draining. Especially because my wife has been battling a mental illness of her own. I believe that if given this opportunity, we will be able to reconnect and create new healthy memories post deployment. Who knows what that would mean for my little princess! If you are able, we are requesting 4-day hopper tickets to Orlando’s Disney Theme Parks. We are planning on going August 17-24, 2023. Thank you for your support.

Post deployment Disney trip

Jun 15th 2023

Hello everyone, my name is IS2 E. Castro. I joined the Navy reserves in 2016 and have been on two deployments so far [one to Jordan (2020), and one throughout Kuwait/Iraq/Syria (2022-2023)]. Unfortunately, this deployment has been pretty rough on my family. From a car accident (car totaled, but no serious injuries), to my oldest son getting sick and having dangerously low platelet counts (now recovered). Throughout all of this (and many other stressors) I managed to persevere and push on with my deployment with the support of my strong family. It was tough not being able to support them in the ways I usually would, but I'm looking to make it up to them in the little ways that I can. I would like to take my wife and three boys out to enjoy a few days at Disney World. None of us have ever been, and my children are absolute Disney fanatics. I would love to see the smiles on their faces and watch their little eyes light up. Please help me in this effort. I appreciate your time and any support towards this goal. Thank you all.

Family Disneyland Parks Trip!

Jun 5th 2023

My husband and I would love to be able to surprise our 3 girls (Kaidence 13, Makayla 11, and Hailey 5) with a 4 day Park Hopper +Genie Service At the DisneyLand Park in Anaheim California (we would need 5 tickets since we are a family of 5!) This deployment has been tough since I have been away through every family members' birthday and all the major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas time frame). I have missed many milestones (including my youngest losing her first teeth!) and events that I normally would be front and center. I would love nothing more than to come home and be able to take a vacation to California to see some of our family and add Disney in our plans! We would love the opportunity to be able to stay at one of the DisneyLand Resort hotels to capture the full experience of the Happiest place on earth!!

Morgan Wallen Tickets for Austin, TX

May 24th 2023

Hello, I am a Purple Heart Recipient and Wounded Warrior who is 100% Disabled from being Combat Wounded in Afghanistan. My “Hero's Wish” may seem a bit funny to some but I’m requesting tickets to see Morgan Wallen in Austin, TX on May 24, 2023, it’s not because I think he’s cute hahaha, it’s because I want to surprise my wife with them. My wife has fought for me, for my care, attended every doctor’s appointment leading up to my Med Board process and throughout it, even while 7 months pregnant with our 3rd child. She gave up her career to raise our children, including that 3rd child who was severely disabled by being exposed to toxic mold in base housing. She’s still fighting for me despite having to fight for him nonstop as well now. She’s a rockstar and completely deserves this.. I just can’t afford to make it happen due to have our special needs son. Tricare unfortunately doesn’t cover the doctors, supplements, therapies and testing he needs. Anyway, so my wish is to take her to see Morgan Wallen since he’s coming here in a few months. I really appreciate anyone who took the time to read this and can help fulfill this wish. Thank you and God bless!

FAMILY TRIP TO DISNEYLAND

May 22nd 2023

My name is James Campbell. I am being medically retired after nearly 14 years of military service in the United States Navy. Life has been difficult for my family. In 2013, I deployed to Afghanistan with a Tier 1 Special Operations Joint Taskforce. In many ways, it was the most rewarding experience of my life - in others the deployment had severe consequences for my family and myself. The OPSTEMPO was relentless, we were manned ISR supporting near daily air strikes and compound raids. I suffered a mild Traumatic Brain Injury in country, I began to have nightmares, and was suspicious of everyone. My wife had left me during the deployment, and I came home a single father of my two sons. I remarried in 2018 in Las Vegas to my amazing and supportive wife Brittany, who took on my sons as her own. A month later, we did a PCS move to Hawaii for a desk job as an intelligence analyst and we thought life was going to be our honeymoon. It wasn't. In 2019, due to my military affiliations, my family was stalked by an extremist who wrote a manifesto planning to do heinous acts to my wife and our two sons. He has since murdered his cell mate and our life has not been the same since the home invasion. Our life literally became a lifetime special. We have moved from state to state to state, first on Humanitarian Support orders, then again because medical treatment wasn't available due to COVID restrictions. I suffer from Chronic Severe PTSD related to the combat and civilian traumas. Brittany has been incredibly supportive, and we had a baby girl who is now a year old. I've been to every level of treatment that exists, residential, partial hospitalization, group, etc etc etc. Even tried Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy. I can't seem to get back to where I was. Admittedly, this began back in 2013, but I couldn't manage more than one session of exposure therapy. Now that my service is wrapping up, I feel defeated, like I have let my family down. I am being rated 100% P&T for combat related PTSD with comorbid TBI, Narcolepsy, and Migraines amongst others. I would love for the opportunity to receive 4-day park hopper tickets to take my wife and the kids to Disneyland. I don't like to get out of the house, but I think with the right accommodations through guest services, I would love to just feel like a normal family again.

Much love and appreciation from my family - James.
Disney World Family Experience

May 22nd 2023

I am currently serving my 2nd tour overseas in the Middle East as a part of Patrol Forces Southwest Asia. I am married to my loving wife and blessed with 3 beautiful little girls. As a Coast Guardsman, My wife and children understood the importance of my volunteering for a 2nd tour and the impact I can make for my service and country. Although the work is hard and rewarding, I feel my family has the hardest job, my children being without their father for another year, and most importantly my wife for her sacrifice and struggles of maintaining a household with me gone. Our wish is for my family to have a magical Disney World experience when I complete my deployment and return home. We have already arranged airfare and hotel accommodations, we are respectfully requesting help in attaining 4-day park hopper passes plus option for my family of 5. After a year in the gulf, this wish would truly be our way to not only come together as a family once again, but make wonderful memories in the process. Thank you for taking the time to read and God bless.

We cannot express how truly grateful we are to have experienced this family vacation at Disney World. From start to finish, it was absolutely magical. Thank you so much Vet Tix and everyone who donated to allow our family to experience a trip of a lifetime.
Disney World

May 2nd 2023

My name is Zachary Bowman. I am a staff sergeant in the United States Army (19D Cavalry Scout) currently on recruiting duty. I joined the Army in 2014 because I had plans to start a family and I wanted to give them the stability that I never had. I have a wife and 2 sons, ages 5 and 7. I have served two overseas tours and I have spent a lot of time away from my family for training and professional development (various Army schools). I have missed several of my kids birthdays and many more important holidays with them. Since my first year in service, my wife has always volunteered with my units and taken good care of the soldiers. Even when I have been overseas, she has taken care of the spouses back on the home front. She has been awarded several awards from the Army including Volunteer of the Year and an Order of Saint Joan D’Arc, and many more. I am a recipient of the Order of Saint George medallion. My boys have always been very interested in my career, my oldest son even says he is going to join the Army and become a veterinary. Both of my kids are very active in jiujitsu and Cub Scouts, they are all around great kids. On my second rotation overseas I was injured and sent home early. I am healed now and ready to get back to being active with my family. I am asking for your help to take my family of 4 to Disney World this year. My boys are obsessed with Lightning McQueen, Toy Story, and Pirates of the Caribbean so this would be a dream come true for them. My career so far has been great but unpredictable so now that I am in recruiting I have more scheduled stability and I would like to take this time to put my family first and thank them for following me along on their crazy journey. I am hoping to surprise my wife and kids with this vacation to thank them for always supporting me and the rest of the Army, even when I am away. I would love to take my family of 4 to Disney World. I am asking for donations for park hopper tickets so I can enjoy a much needed vacation with my family.

Disney World passes for family vacation

Apr 10th 2023

My name is David Tapia, a severely wounded veteran who served in the United States Army. I was awarded a purple heart during my tour in Iraq and later honorably discharged after 4 years. I have a very supportive wife who has stuck by my side despite my severe PTSD. After years of therapy and counseling I think I can finally manage it to be able to take my four amazing daughters, Nallely 13, Anahi 7, Ximena 3 and Natalia 1 on a unforgettable trip to Disney World with the help and support from VetTix and their sponsors / donors. I thank you in advance for your consideration!

Walt Disney World Family Trip

Apr 4th 2023

Hello, my name is Jesse Spencer. I am currently deployed to the Middle East. I have served in the Army National Guard for 9 years as a Flight Medic and then transitioned over to the Air Force National Guard for the past 2 years as a Firefighter. I would like to respectfully request Four 4-day park hopper tickets to Walt Disney World in Florida. We are planning on going in April and this would be an amazing family spring break trip where we could relax, have fun, and reconnect after being deployed for over 6 months. We are a family of 5, but our youngest won't require a ticket. Thank you for any help. We really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for donating tickets to Disney!! We had a wonderful time reconnecting as a family after deployment. It was our youngest child's first time at Disney and she was in absolute wonder. The big kids loved being able to ride rollercoasters! We loved being able to create memories with our 3 kids and letting them pick out whatever they wanted at the Disney Store. By providing these tickets it took the financial burden off of us, which was greatly appreciated. We cannot thank you enough!!!!
Afghanistan Wounded Vet Family Trip to Disney World

Mar 27th 2023

My name is Bruce Haskin. After serving for nearly 22 years, I am being medically retired related to an injury I received in a VBIED (car bomb) in Afghanistan. I am married to Mary (just celebrated 14 year anniversary), have three children, Austin (11), Katherine (9), and Samuel (7). When I left for Afghanistan in 2019, I planned to take the family to Disney when I returned in April 2020. Well, with the bomb, and then pandemic starting while I was gone, that never came to fruition. Then we moved to Ohio a few months after I returned, bought a house and immediately incurred over $20,000 in unexpected and unplanned major home repairs, and recently another $15,000 in repairs in a house flood while we were away for a few days. I have missed birthdays, anniversaries, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and more, and honestly my family and I need a reset, some true fun and relaxation. We will be forever grateful for this opportunity. I appreciate your consideration and kind donation if you choose to do so. I would like to take my family to Disney World. I have three children therefore requesting 5 tickets if that is possible. Thank you.

My name is Sgt, Brian Martinez. I have twin 5-year-old daughters that have never been to Disney World. They will be six years old by the time I return and I will miss their birthday just like other birthdays I have missed. I would like to be able to take them to Disney World but my wife and I did not know if we will have the financial means to do so. I am currently deployed to Syria and it has been rough for them to understand, the cause we are fighting for and I know they do not yet understand the sacrifice our whole family has made.

Hello, I want to thank all of the people that donated and the people working for Vet Tix for all of the help and assistance while I was deployed. My six year old girls had the time of their life and will never forget the trip, but the best part for me was getting to see how happy meeting the characters made them. Disney World was amazing and this really helped us make a trip that otherwise would not have been possible. Thank you again, The Martinez Family

DISNEY WORLD FAMILY TRIP FOR IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN COMBAT VETERAN

Mar 6th 2023

Hello, my name is Nelson Martinez. I am a retired Marine, husband, and father of 4. I retired summer of 2018 after 22 years of service. Throughout my service, I had various combat tours and assignments, making it difficult to have a Disney World trip, much less plan it. While in the Marine Corps, I dedicated myself to accomplishing the mission first. I often put the Corps and mission first and my family second, and I could only do this through my wife, children, friends, and family's support. Both my wife and I sacrificed much to make our time in the Corps work. I deployed three times to Iraq between 2003 and 2009. I also deployed twice in support of Operation Enduring Freedom to Africa and Afghanistan in 2001-02 and again to Afghanistan in 2010. In between deployments, I was assigned to commands that trained Sailors or Marines for combat deployments or headquarters commands that planned combat deployments for various units. I also spent time at the Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Batallion in 2011. My time at Wounded Warrior Battalion was to take care of injuries I sustained in 2003 deployed to Iraq and a TBI I received in 2010 while deployed to Afghanistan. Between 2001 and 2010, I was heavily deployed and ignored many physical, mental, and emotional issues and injuries to accomplish the mission overseas. Like many veterans during that time, the mission to fight and train for combat came first. Because of that, many veterans, myself included, caused and faced issues not just for ourselves but for our families. Our families sacrificed greatly to help us accomplish our mission. Now that I have been retired for some time and our children are a little older, we can finally plan a trip to Disney World. We have never taken a "true" family vacation for the reasons described above, and we have always taken short weekend trips somewhere or made the best of our children's sports events requiring travel. This year, however, my spring break from college classes and our kids' spring break from elementary and high school line up, making it easy to plan a family trip. Our family is a total of 6. My wife and I have three boys, aged 22, 16, and 9, and our daughter, 14. I am asking for help to purchase 6 tickets for our family to Disney World for the week of March 6-11, 2023. I would greatly appreciate any help to make this dream possible for my family. This trip will be a blessing for our family's many sacrifices. I thank everyone ahead of time for helping me make this dream come true for them SEMPER FIDELIS!

My name is Charles Clontz, and I would love to be able to have a chance to take my 4 kids to Disney World for the week. My two year old son Jackson loves Mickey Mouse!!! We are currently stationed at Fort Hood Texas away from the coast and getting there is pretty expensive when you factor in driving, plane tickets, hotel and park tickets so being able to get this help from Veterans wish would be a great help to my family.I would like to be able to take my kids to Disney World for the holidays, at the start of the year or into the spring if at all possible. I would love to be able to do the 4 day park hopper tickets to enjoy time with my wife and children.

Hello! I've been active duty Air Force for the last 9 and a half years and am currently on my fourth deployment. I'd love to be able to take my family on a vacation to Disneyland with 3-day park hopper tickets for three when I return home. I returned home from deployment #3 in February of 2021 and was asked to take deployment number #4 in March of 2022, leaving in April a week after returning home from my honeymoon. My family has been nothing but supportive and strong throughout these back to back tours and I'd love nothing more than to take them on an amazing vacation to spoil them and spend time with them.

My name is TSgt. Steven Wilson. I retired from the USAF in 2014 after serving for 17 years, I was deployed to Iraq, on my 4th deployment (2011) I was injured in an IED blast. I received a Purple Heart due to my TBI, I also suffer from hearing loss, back and knee pain, PTSD, migraines and memory issues. I had brain surgery in 2013 and had to cut my military career short due to ongoing symptoms from the blasts. My wife and children have supported me through all of my ups and downs since my injury, it would be nice to spend quality time with my family at the Happiest Place on Earth. I would love to take my large family to Disneyland, my children have not experienced the fun and magic of Disneyland, I would love to share that with them. I would like to request 12 three day park hopper passes so we could all go together. My children are 17, 16, 15 & 15 (twins), 14, 12, 8, 4 and nearly 3 & 3 (twins).

Tickets to this year's Rose Bowl

Jan 2nd 2023

I'm LCDR Kim Hendricks, a Navy Nurse Corps Officer. The University of Utah Utes will be going to the Rose Bowl on January 2, 2023 - having just won the Pac-12 championship. I went to the University of Utah for my undergraduate degree and Utah Football had been a part of my family's lives ever since. I met my husband at the U and we spent many date nights at football games. Once I joined the Navy, we had to settle for games on TV except for the occasional game, this time with our kids, most recently a game last year when they happened to play San Diego State, where we are currently stationed. We will be relocating to the East Coast this summer and the Rose bowl will likely be the last game we can attend while the kids are still young. We would be incredibly blessed for our family of 5 to able to attend the Rose Bowl this year!! I came back from deployment 2 months ago and this would be an amazing family experience. I am requesting 5 tickets so that I can attend with my husband and 3 kids, ages 12, 8, and 4.

Thank You Message From Hero:
To our generous donors - Henry, Marcie, Ulric in honor of Larry Conception, Brian, and Raul: Thank you so much for sending us to the Rose Bowl - the Granddaddy of Them All!! This was an incredible experience to cheer on our team the Utah Utes. My husband and I have been Utah football fans since we attended "the U" as undergrads. We spent many date nights attending home games. Utah Football remains a big part of our lives with our kids as we catch games on TV and attend the occasional game, though being stationed away from home makes that difficult. The Rose Bowl was likely one of the last games we will be able to go to due to our next set of orders and we are so grateful to be able to have those memories with our kids while they are still young. They had a blast, even in the rain! The parking was seamless and somehow there was no traffic in LA. The VIP tailgate passes gave us an opportunity to kick back, enjoy some good food and drinks while playing games with the kids and chatting it up with fellow fans. The seats at the game took our breath away - we had a perfect view of the field from around the 40 yard line, and of course in Utah territory where it was just like home. Having recently returned from deployment, family events become so much more important and meaningful. Reintegration can be challenging and experiences like these really bring our family together. Thank you again for your incredible donation for this once in a lifetime opportunity! We are forever grateful!!!
Fiesta Bowl game for family of KIA

Dec 31st 2022

On September 11, 2001, my husband's Commander Patrick Dunn, USN, was killed while sitting at his desk in the D Ring of the Pentagon. I was left just shy of three months pregnant with our first child. Our daughter was born in 2002. I raised her, to love and respect not only the father she never met but this country and everything it's good for and everything it stands for. And most importantly, her father died for the freedom of the American people. After I remarried, my husband, Paul adopted her 10 days before he left for Iraq. She often jokes with us she has one of the longest names, Alexandria, Patricia Dunn DeSimone, and she can't fit it on the small line on her military ID. We often smile, but deep down, we admire the story her name tells. It was our daughter's choice to grow up peacefully, behind the craziness of everybody knowing our story. She just wanted to be a normal child and blend in with the rest of the kids, her age. Now that TCU has made it to the championship playoffs, our daughter is beyond excited. The cost of tickets is completely out of control, and sadly something that we cannot afford. In November 2020, I suffered an Aortic Dissection. I tore my aorta from my carotid artery to my iliac. I am one of the 3% of Americans that survive this type of event. But since then, I have been in the hospital and have not been able to travel to TCU to attend the mother's weekends and football games like I would like to. I have not been able to work. It would be our one-lifetime wish to be able to attend this game with Allie and our family. We do appreciate all you do for military families, especially the Gold Star Families.

Thank You Message From Hero:
We can't thank you enough for helping us go to the Fiesta Bowl. It's was a dream come true. The seats were perfect and the TCU Horned Frogs won!!! Next week the Horned Frogs will be in The National Championships in Los Angeles and we can't wait! We will be watching from home since the tix prices are absurd. Again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your generosity and kindness. We will never forget this trip. Gratefully, Stephanie
Family Bonding - Walt Disney World 4 Day Hopper+ passes

Dec 31st 2022

My name is Cpl Rick Colts, USMC 2007-2012. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and received a Purple Heart in 2011 while on deployment in Afghanistan from injuries sustained in a IED blast while on patrol as a MWD handler. (KIA Torry L404 - Guardian of the Night) I would love to be able to take my wife and 2 kids to Disney World, that is why I am asking for 4 - 4day park hopper plus tickets. My wife and I have been married for 13yrs and have a 9yr old son and adopted my 15yr old brother back in 2020 from foster care. We moved to FL from CO in 2021 and since getting here our kids are constantly asking when we are going to take them to Disney World, but even living so close the cost of tickets is astronomical. With the help and support from Vet Tix and their donors/sponsors we could finally take our family on a much needed fun vacation so we can bond and continue to grow as a family with the magical wonder that Walt Disney World has to offer.
