Past Hero's Wishes
Hello, My name is Joshua. I am currently serving in the Air National Guard. I have been in the military for 12 years, spending 4 Active Duty in the Marine Corps as an Infantry and 8 in the Air National Guard as a Firefighter. I have had three Deployments, two to Okinawa and one to Kuwait. I have a Wife and 3 Kids, ages 22,10 and 4. While I was deployed, our Son enlisted into the Air Force and left for basic in San Antonio before I could see him when I returned. I have not seen or talked to him in about a year. When he gets home, I would like to take a Family vacation, make up for some lost time that we all missed with the deployments and the time apart, and thank them for all the sacrifices they have made to help me with deployments and time away. I’m requesting five 4-day park hopper tickets to Disney World in Florida. We want to leave for the vacation on December 27. Any help would be tremendous. Thank you in advance for all your support.

Hi, My name is Brinley. I am 19 y/o and currently active duty Army. I have always wanted to see the Nutcracker on Christmas Eve with my boyfriend but have always either not been able to afford tickets or not been able to get tickets before they sold out. I really hope to be able to surprise him this year as we won’t be able to go home and see his family for Christmas due to having to save money to move and for me to attend law school next year.

I am a Military Widow. My husband Christopher was KIA in Iraq on Jan.8, 2004. It was right after Xmas & it’s never been the same. But this one will be even more complicated now that his brother won’t be with him. I want my son to be happy this Holiday Season. Me & my boys and I lost their dad in war, and it’s been tough ever since. My oldest son Sean has many disabilities & because of these, he will always have to live at home with me. He watches his brother move on & that’s been hard. This year will be 1st year that it will just be him, me & his youngest brother for Christmas. He doesn’t want to be home because his Dad is gone & his brother isn’t coming home. So we decided to go to Disney World for Christmas. I want my son to be able to have fun for Christmas & not be home depressed. Thank You.

Hi, my name is SPC Woods! I am an Information Technology Specialist in the U.S. Army. I am currently Active Duty and have been in the Army for 2.5 years. I completed a combat tour in the Middle East from October 2022-April 2023. I enjoy what I do and the purpose I serve when supporting others. During spare time I like to read, travel, and watch movies. I have been a Harry Potter fan for as long as I can remember. Visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter would be such a magical (pun intended) experience for me. I have always wanted to visit the Universal Studios in Orlando, FL since I was a child. Specifically, I have always wanted to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I never had the opportunity to visit due to a lack of funds and there were other priorities my family had.

Hello, I am Jeremy. I am active duty military, currently deployed in Iraq, and I wanted to request 4 tickets for a Buffalo Bills home game for me, my wife and kids. I am originally from upstate New York and have been a Buffalo Bills fan all my life, but I have never been to a game in person. I am currently deployed in Iraq and will return home in October 2023. I was hoping to make it to a Bills home game in November with my wife and two children. It would be a fantastic welcome home/ birthday present if considered. I will return from my deployment at the end of October and hope to go to this game if possible. Either way, thank you for taking my request.

My name is Mike. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA, and currently reside outside the city with my wife Sarah of 5 years and our two boys, Henry and Daniel (aged 3 and 1). I am currently deployed in the Middle East, and my wife Sarah has been bearing the burden of a full-time job and caring for our two young boys. Both of our boys love all things Disney. Our oldest boy, Henry, desperately wants to visit "Mickey Mouse's House," which he knows as Disney World after my mother-in-law showed him pictures from a family vacation years ago. This is why I wish to be able to take my family to Disney World this November after I return from my deployment. I wish for 4 tickets to accommodate my whole family and ideally, I'd like to take them for 4 days, one for each park.

Hi, my name is Charles, and I’m in the Air Force. My “Hero's Wish” is for Park Hopper and Genie+ passes for Disneyland and California Adventure Park. This past year has been tough on my family. My wife went through a very traumatic pregnancy and delivery with my son. Five days after his birth, I received a phone call saying I was deploying for the third time. The day I was supposed to leave the first time (it got postponed three times), my family and I had a car accident. Luckily, the kids were okay in the accident, but my wife and I still got treatment for our injuries. I still deployed when my son was a month old, and my wife was still not released to pick up more than my son’s weight (Even through the roughest times, she’s still the strongest person I know). I just returned from deployment in January, and my son Nikolaus is now 10 months old. It’s always been a dream of mine to take my kids to Disney. Especially since my 4 and 6-year-old daughters, Audrey and Gwendolyn, are obsessed with Disney (not to mention my wife is too). After everything that has happened, I would love to be able to surprise my family with a trip to Disneyland and California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California. I respectfully request help with (4) four-day park hopper passes plus services. It would be my kid's first time going, and I know it is a HUGE dream of theirs. I have missed many birthdays, firsts, and events in the past six years and would love to be able to share this memory with them. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

My name is Jeremy. I am a Marine Corps veteran of two combat tours in Iraq. I received the Purple Heart in April 06, and that same month, I lost my best friend while he was operating in another part of Iraq. Currently, I work in EMS, and my wife is a nurse. We want to be able to take our boys to an awesome game! My boys, 13 & 10, are dying to see a Tennessee Titans game in Tennessee with decent seating. I work EMS, and my wife is a nurse, but good tickets are not on our budget!

I would love to be able to afford a trip for my family to Disneyland. After coming back from deployment it has been a struggle to get things in order, but we finally did. I would love to be able to give my family a break for just a couple days. We are a family of 4 and recently have finally settled back into life after my deployment. I would love to be able to finally make my daughters wish come true by finally being able to take them to Disneyland.

My name is Martin, and I'm currently serving as an active duty marine on deployment and will be returning back to the States in October. The Los Angeles Lakers game I'd like to attend is a chance for my wife and me to enjoy each other's company while enjoying our love of the NBA scene after this long separation. Throughout this deployment, I've missed out on countless cherished moments and significant events, all while being far from the one person who means the most to me. We both share a passion for basketball and the NBA, and being able to witness the Lakers in person would be a dream come true as we are Lakers fans and enjoy the competitive scene. Any Lakers game would be awesome. The challenges of constant training and deployment have tested me but mainly my wife who has shouldered everything back at home, but the thought of surprising my wife and making up for lost time fills me with excitement. Your consideration of granting this wish would mean the world to me. I’m hoping you can help make this wish come true, giving us the chance to reconnect and celebrate would mean the world. Thank You.

I would like to start off by saying thank you so much to Janel and the other donors who donated. Thanks to the Vettix organization who made this opportunity and wish possible. Me and my wife had a great time at the game, it felt unreal to both of us to see a Lakers game and our first basketball game in person. Thank you again Vettix and donors for giving us this opportunity.
