Past Hero's Wishes
I have been in the Navy for 23 years, and over the last 5 I have been mostly separated from my family. I moved overseas for a 2 year unaccompanied tour, before returning home and experiencing extended deployments due to the COVID environment that we now live in. I was deployed for 7 months in 2020, then this year I was deployed for 3.5 months before being redeployed right before Christmas. We currently live in Washington State and will be moving back to the east coast this spring. My wish is to take my family to Disneyland when I return in a few weeks for a belated Christmas. Thank you very much for your time.

My name is SSG Donald Watson, I would love to surprise my family of 5 with a post deployment vacation to Disneyland. My family has supported me through every deployment, training and I want to thank them. I have been active duty for 11 years and I have deployed twice to Iraq, once to Afghanistan, once to Korea and I am currently deployed. Through these deployments and trainings I have missed many holidays and special occasions. My daughter is now 7 and I have only been present for her 2nd birthday. I would love to take this vacation in September for her birthday before my next possible deployment in late 2020.

Thank you Vettix. My family and I had the most amazing time. A wish for my children was fulfilled and it was amazing to see the smiles on their faces. It was a magical 4 days that brought us all closer. To all of the donors you gave my family an unbelievable memory and much needed time together. Thank you again.

Hello, My name is Shelbi and I am the mama to two beautiful kiddos and the wife to an amazing wife. I recently returned from a 7 month deployment that was very hard on my family. This was my first time away from my kids for this amount of time. Along with many firsts I missed my daughter's birthday, my wedding anniversary, and my son's first day of school. This was all very difficult for us all to navigate and process. I missed out on a lot. I would love to treat my family to a trip to Disney World. I believe this trip would give us some quality time together to make memories and make up for lost time. I am requesting park hopper passes for the 4 of us and any food vouchers that may be available. I understand if this isn't possible. I will be extremely grateful for whatever we receive. My family and I really appreciate your consideration. Thank you so much. God Bless.

This past week my family and I traveled down to Orlando and visited Walt Disney World. Our experience was once in a lifetime and truly magical. We were able to make so many memories and reconnect on so many levels. This trip will be talked about for years to come. Seeing the smiles and excitement in my family brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I can't thank the 8 donors and Vet Tix foundation enough for providing us with this trip. None of this would have been possible without you. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! When we think of this trip we will also remember you amazing people that made it possible. I wish the world had more people like you in it! Thank you, The Bear Family!!!

My names is Capt Amanda Burkhardt. I am active duty and have been in the military for 16 years. During these 16 years and current deployment my kids and husband have sacrificed so much to let me serve my country. I would like to surprise them with a family trip to Disney World when I return from the Middle East. I have two 14 year olds (Emma and Lucas), a 9 year old (Allie), an 8 year old (Grace) and little baby Oliver (2 years old). My daughter Grace was born with a rare birth disorder, Arthrogryposis, and as a family we find it hard to travel and go on trips that everyone can participate in. Disney World is the one place where all my kids can participate in the fun. All my kids have sacrificed so much and my husband holds our family together while I'm gone. I would love the opportunity to take my family on a trip to Disney Wold when I return home.

THANK YOU!!! I can't say thank you enough to everyone who donated to our 1st trip to Disney World. This trip was much needed to allow my kids and I to spend quality time together after being apart for so long. This trip will be something we remember for a lifetime. Thank you to VetTix for taking care of Military Members and their Families and Thank you to everyone else!!!

Hi! My name is TSgt Amy Christensen and I'm active duty Air Force with 10 years in. I'm currently on my first deployment. My husband, Cameron, is at home with our two children (ages 2 and 4). He's working full time and taking care of the kids by himself. This is my first time being separated from my children and I'm happy to say they are doing well but it has been difficult for them to understand why I left and why I can't just come home already. I want to plan our first ever family trip to the most magical place on earth! I think it would be good for our family to be able to relax and enjoy each others company after this long separation. I will have missed our wedding anniversary, my daughter's 2nd birthday, my husband's birthday, my birthday and my son's 5th birthday. Our trip to Disney World will be one big celebration! We are requesting three 4 day hoppers (our daughter won't require a ticket due to her age). Thank you so much for the support and consideration!

I love my family! I have been deployed 6 months so far. This deployment has been hard, the first deployment for our two youngest boys. My previous deployment was when their next older sister was just a baby. Our oldest son is away at college, and our second oldest, our daughter Madyson, died in a car accident 6 years ago. Looking forward to reconnecting to my wife and kids, and sharing an adventure with them. I would like to take my family for a day at Discovery Cove swimming with the dolphins. I would take my wife and the 4 youngest kids. 6 tickets in total. We would like to get the SIGNATURE DOLPHIN SWIM PACKAGE + 2 PARKS option. We would like to go over Christmas break, December 13th, 2021.

Thank you to all of the wonderful donors that donated to my Hero's Wish. My family was able to enjoy a day at Discovery Cove and swim with the dolphin, name MaRaya. After swimming with MaRaya we spent the rest of the day snorkeling and floating on the lazy river. This was such a great experience for my family. Our pass into discovery Cove also included a pass into Seaworld. My family really enjoyed going to the dolphin show, orca show and the sea lion and otter show. Thanks again for the donations to grant my Hero's Wish and helping my family make memories that will last a lifetime.

My name is Major Jeremy Colwell. I am an active duty Marine for the last 15 years and I am currently deployed and away from my wife and three children, ages 8,7, and 3. I am missing many important occasions while being away, such as three birthdays, anniversary, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and not to mention school events and the day to day memories being made while my children grow up. It is so hard to be away from them during these times. I would love to be able to take them to Disneyland upon my return in April to make new memories with them all again. We are HUGE Disney fans and cannot think of a better way to reconnect than with some Disney Magic! I am requesting 5 Disneyland 3 Day Park Hopper tickets so we can all go, myself, my wife and three children.

My name is MSgt Mark Goenen. This is my 8th deployment during my career. I am currently serving as Fire Chief for a newly established "bare base" in Saudi Arabia. When we arrived on the ground there were less than 20 tents and no capability for Fire Emergency Services. Over our 180+ day deployment we will have built a base that will accommodate 2K personnel on a permanent basis. This deployment will see me miss 3 birthdays, wedding anniversary, and the winter holidays. I was chosen for this deployment on a very short notice, I had under one month to prepare to deploy and make sure the girls were taken care of during my absence. It would be a wonderful gift to take my girls to Universal Studios Orlando, (they are HUGE Harry Potter fans) as my girls have all been working very hard in school and life to overcome my absence for 6 months.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our amazing experience at Universal Orlando. The generosity you showed us was on full display as we walked into the magical Harry Potter attraction areas and I saw the smiles light up on the faces of my girls. This trip was a culmination of my military service and a lifetime of their sacrifices and hardships and we are eternally grateful for this experience. Thank you.

Hello, my name is SPC Trenton Davis, I am an MP currently deployed to the Middle East as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The only downside to serving my country was leaving my beautiful wife behind. As she has been so supportive during this deployment, I'd love nothing more than to be able to take her on a Disney world vacation to Florida. Providing all goes well, I am set to return home October 2020. I am requesting 2, four day park hopper tickets to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I want to ensure she knows how much I appreciate the tremendous support and love I have received from her. I genuinely appreciate all the support and assistance from those donating to these causes. Your contributions mean more than you know to soldiers. Thank you.
