Current Hero's Wishes
Hello, my name is Stephanie. I’m 29 years old and currently serving in the Army. Over the course of my career, I’ve had one overseas deployment that changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. During that deployment, my family endured unimaginable pain. We lost a loved one, and I received the devastating news that my daughter had been a victim of S/A at the hands of someone we trusted. Around the same time, my wife’s mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Being away from my family during such a difficult time was one of the hardest challenges I’ve faced. I couldn’t be there to support them when they needed me most, and that weighs heavy on my heart. All I want now is to give my little girl a moment of happiness, a chance to feel like a carefree child again. Taking her to the happiest place on earth is a small dream, but one I believe she deserves after everything she’s been through. While I know this won’t fix what has happened, I hope it can bring a smile to her face and create a precious memory for her to hold onto. If you’re able to support us in making this dream come true, my family and I would be forever grateful. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to giving her this special experience. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer.

My name is Edward, and I am currently a Chief in the USCG. I am married to a fantastic lady who travels an hour to work daily as a high school teacher. I also have three children ages 15,14, and 11. My two older sons are actively involved in their school wrestling team. My daughter is my sweetheart and is just starting middle school! It’s such a difficult age, and I am thankful my wife is there to hold it all down while I am away to provide a strong female role model for her, but she is admittedly losing her mind with my teenage sons. I stay in contact with my family as much as I can via FaceTime calls and text messages, but I can’t wait to be back and see and hug them face to face. And provide a strong male influence back into teens' lives.

I am a Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force and returned April 2nd 2025 from a 6 month Deployment to Somalia. My wife and I have 4 kids, 3 of which are girls who participate in All Star Cheerleading, which means we are constantly on the go and rarely have time to get away as a couple. I have been a Broncos fan my whole life, and also attended Texas Tech University and follow the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. My wife loves the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes as well. We also live in Lubbock, TX where Texas Tech is located. Our anniversary is November 5th and neither of us have ever been to an NFL game or been able to truly celebrate our anniversary since getting married. I would love to be able to spend a weekend with my wife in Denver and attend the Denver Broncos vs Kansas City Chiefs game on November 16th 2025. My wife and I would be forever grateful for this opportunity to spend some alone time together while also enjoying something we both love, football.

My name is Sarah. I have been in the Air Force since 2006. My most recent deployment had me away from my family for nearly four months. I just returned from a deployment to INDOPACOM at the end of April and would like to take my family to Disneyland; this year has been difficult for all of us, and it will be nice to relax together now that things are getting back to normal.

My name is Rosemary, an Army veteran and the widow of Army SSG Jeremy A. Brown. Jeremy was killed in action on July 3, 2005, while deployed in Mosul, Iraq. At the time, he had just begun our third consecutive deployment to Iraq since we were married. Our married life was defined by service to our country. While Jeremy was completing his first deployment, I arrived to start mine — passing each other in Kuwait by a single day. When I returned home, he was deployed again. We celebrated our marriage with a big family wedding during his two-week R&R, but we never had the chance to take a honeymoon or share a family vacation together. I have remained unmarried for the past 20 years, and have a son who is 19. He is a wonderful young man and a devoted WWE fan. My wish is to share with him a special experience we will both cherish — attending WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Specifically, I am requesting two 2-day tickets so that we can enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime event together. This would not only fulfill a dream for my son but also honor the life and sacrifices that have shaped our family’s journey.

I would love to take my Fiancé and our three girls, ages 5, 9, and 12, to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. My children have never been, and I remember going as a child and making lasting memories. I would love to take them to Disney and am asking for 5 tickets for two park days. My children love everything Disney, and I would love to make our forever memories.

Hello, we are the Powell Family. I am Daniel, an E-7 Chief Boatswain Mate in the United States Coast Guard, currently serving my second tour overseas in Bahrain as part of Patrol Forces Southwest Asia. I am married to my loving wife, Daisy, and blessed with two amazing children, Delano and Desmin, who are 9 and 11 years old. While my work is challenging and rewarding, I believe my family shoulders the greatest burden: my children being without their father for a total of two and a half years during my deployments, and most importantly, my wife, who is currently in remission from lymphoma. Her courage, resilience, and strength in managing our household during my absence inspire me every day. Our wish is to create lasting family memories by visiting Disney World upon my return from deployment. We are respectfully requesting assistance in obtaining multi day park hopper plus tickets for my family. This experience would not only be a dream come true for our children but also serve as a much-needed morale boost for my wife and our entire family after these challenging few years.

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!!!

My 2 children and I want to say a big thank you to Vet Tix, and to all of the donors who helped make our wish come true. We had an amazing time at Disney World. My daughter Carson got to meet almost all of the princesses, and my son loved riding all of the rides. Without all of your help we would have never been able to go. It was such an amazing experience and I loved seeing the huge smiles on my kids faces. I can not possibly thank all of you enough.

From the bottom of my heart, and my families, I want to thank all the donors who made this trip possible. I never got to experience Disneyland until I was almost an adult, so the "magic" of the "Magic Kingdom" was lost on me. But watching my young kids, wide eyed, meet the characters, ride the attractions and stare up into a brilliant fireworks display really allowed me to see the park through their eyes. Magic is absolutely the perfect term to describe what they were experiencing. These are memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you all so much for helping make this trip a reality! Semper Fi!

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
