My name is SPC. Quinn Jensen. I became wounded after serving in Afghanistan and was hit by an IED explosion. This resulted in many injuries including a TBI, broken back, broken elbow and both of my heels being shattered. I spent three months as an inpatient at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio where I received numerous surgeries and then continued to receive rehabilitation for several months following. Upon returning home to Utah, the pain in my right foot was too much to bare and was forced to have my right leg amputated. Although it has helped the pain significantly, I am very limited to the activities I can participate with my kids due to all my other injuries as well. My wife, Monica, and I have been saving to take our kids to Disney World to give us quality time to spend as a family and create wonderful memories. We feel like it will create a better bond with myself and the kids as well as a family as a whole. We continue to save and will do everything we can to make it happen, but worry we will struggle to make it happen. We have five children; Kennedi (11), Brayden (8), Wyatt (5), Caleb (2), and Emeri (10 months). They have been so patient and understanding with my situation with not being to be involved in physical play, and I want them to know how much I appreciate their support. I also want to give my wife, who does the majority of the work around the house since I am unable to and cares for our kids most of the time, a small break or vacation from all the cooking and cleaning up she does on a daily basis!My wish is for Park Hopper Tickets to Disney World for me and my family..

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Wow! There are no words to describe how thankful I am for the generosity of all of you who made my wish, and the dreams of my family, come true. Our trip to Disney World was definitely one to remember and so many memories were made that I know our family will be talking about for years to come. Our kids were so excited to meet Mickey and pals and the rides are like nothing else! From myself, my wife and my children, thank you, to all of you, from the bottom of our hearts for giving us this opportunity to become closer as a family, to bond, and especially for the forever memories we will always have. We hope to someday be able to give back and make other's dreams come true just like you did ours. Again, thank you for such an incredible opportunity!
- Quinn
