THE PANDEMIC HAS SLOWED OUR ROLL PLEASE HELP OUR CAUSE
Housing advocates such as the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans are no longer asking why are veterans homeless or whether the pandemic will lead to an increase in veteran homelessness, but instead, the question now is how big the increase will be.
Decades of effort that helped decrease homelessness in veterans and overall homelessness are at major risk due to the pandemic. It is so impactful that housing advocates understand the inevitable rapid rise in homelessness and are now concerned about what they will face in coming years.

We sometimes get so wrapped up in our own lives, we forget who we are. Now with the new virus threat, the distraction is even more evident. We have not lost our focus. Most of us know how hard it is to survive out there. Does anyone deserve to starve or to die of heat exhaustion or hypothermia or loneliness? What about those grand ma’s and grand pa’s out there? Do they deserve to be out there experiencing all these things? They are in their last days, and should not be spending those last days worrying about what they are going to eat or where they are going to sleep or if someone is going beat them or worse.

When TAT was created there was one goal and that goal is to treat our veterans with the love, kindness and respect they deserve. That goal is still there and will remain the goal.
The Awareness Tours was given that name for a reason. TAT could have been named many different names but this one was chosen because that is what needs to happen to get the job done. “Awareness” (knowledge and understanding that something is happening or exists)
“Tours” (a journey involving a series of stops)
The “Awareness Tours” has several missions wrapped up in one goal. That goal is to provide top notch services to our country's heroes, without all the red tape.
The services we are planning to provide are second to none.
THE AWARENESS TOURS
• An Address to call their own while in the community.
• Psychological Care
• Physiological Care
• Addiction Programs
• Nutritional Care
• Educational Services
• Financial Help
• Hospice Care
ADDRESS: With government benefits the recipient needs to have an address we will provide that for them. Most will have that with the home that we will provide them while they are going through our program. There are some veterans that do not want the help, they like living free and off the grid. We understand that and want to be able to still offer them an address so that they can receive their government benefits. They would be able to come and go as they please receiving food and medical. And shelter when available.
PSYCHOLOGICAL: This is one of the main reasons a lot of our heroes are homeless. When you are suffering from this, holding down a job is impossible. Several programs catering to this issue will be available.
PHYSIOLOGICAL: Many of our country's heroes suffer from physical disabilities that prevent them from getting a good job. A great deal of them have both Psychological and Physiological issues that they deal with.
ADDICTIONS: Many of our countries veterans have turned to drugs and alcohol to deal with their issues and we want to help them with those issues and get them into a rehabilitation program that we will be providing while they are receiving the services that The Awareness Tours will be providing for them.
NUTRITIONAL: When you live on the street your choices of what to feed your body are limited to what is available and most of the time those availabilities are junk food and fast food that we all know is not good for the human body.
EDUCATIONAL: Many of our veterans opted out of the furthered education that was offered to them, and many of them regret not taking advantage of that opportunity. Well TAT will be providing that for them. We want to give them the tools they need to further their education so a great paying job is there for them when they have tackled all their obstacles.
HOSPICE CARE: Many of our heroes are elderly and should never be on the street. They are being left there to die alone. This is also a service we will be
providing to them. We want to give them a place to live that feels like home and allow them to stay here for the rest of their time here on earth.
The Awareness Tours is a lot of things, and will providing all of them, but to get these things done; we need the tools. Those tools are ways to bring in a constant flow of funding to pay for all these services. We need Low Mileage buses, large duel axle trailers and pilot cars. We also need 3000 to 5000 square foot buildings for the TAT Tour Club Houses for Awareness Tours Officials and a place to have continued fundraisers.
When the community is finished TAT Will be opening a farmers market for the local towns and cities near that TAT Community where the people of those places can visit and buy fruits and vegetables that the community will have grown and harvested themselves. TAT will also be building a meat market to sell to the local towns people. All these things will be providing funding to keep the community operational along with the corporate donations.
The “Awareness Tours” needs your help. We are asking for donations on the first set of tools so we can procure sponsors and get out on tour raising funding to begin this journey to stopping homelessness when it comes to our veterans.
Anything worth doing for our veterans is worth doing right. Help us get this done.
Thank you.

Our Veterans live with a great deal of physiological and psychological issues that make it hard to do anything in society, We are here to ease that pain, and give the Veterans that truly want a second chance at making things better, an opportunity to do so.
The Awareness Tours does just that, it tours the US performing concerts while bringing awareness to the growing issue of homelessness that plagues our nation. The donations that are received would go to the buying of land, the building of the self-sustainable communities as well as the maintaining of these communities.
The Awareness Tours was conceived to raise money to build and maintain self-sustainable communities for our homeless Veterans and immediate families by touring the United States (U.S.) providing various types of entertainment and donations from people like you. Eventually, TAT’S ultimate goal is to have concerts and performances across the U.S. to raise money for our homeless Veterans. This is a new way to not only spread awareness about homeless Veterans and their families, but to bring entertainment of all genres to communities all over the U.S. giving them a chance to help our heroes by attending performances.
Our Veterans live with a great deal of physiological and psychological issues that make it hard to become a productive member of society. TAT wants to help ease that pain, and give the Veterans that truly want a second chance at making things better an opportunity to do so through short and long term housing, physiological care, psychological care, healthy nutrition, and schooling.
TAT will be working most of the year continuously traveling performing events all over the United States. Walk with us on this journey to wiping homelessness out when it comes to our heroes. To raise awareness to our homeless Veterans plight TAT will require sponsors for our tours such as:
Transportation/Large Vans/Buses/Trailers.
Lodging sponsorship
Fuel sponsorship
Food sponsorship
Advertising
Musical Gear and lighting.
Monetary
At this time we are taking donations of all kinds. The first step to getting a job done is starting it. Property, land, vehicles, buildings furnishing for these buildings and anything else that we can obtain to further this goal of removing homelessness in the veteran community will be greatly appreciated.
TAT will make an overwhelming impact on the homeless numbers by building self-sustainable communities run by the veterans within those facilities. We will also be providing assisted care and hospice care for the Veterans that are in need of comfort in there last days. Eventually, we hope to construct a Veteran cemetery so our Veterans who have no family are given the proper love and respect they deserve. Will you stand with us and make this a reality?
Thank you for consideration,
