A Very Happy & joyful Easter to one & all.
Good Friday & Easter Sunday tells us alot about one thing LOVE.
We @ Street Providence Goa are in need of VOLUNTEERS , across Goa to give this LOVE & CARE to hundreds if not thousands suffering from mental disabilities especially the poor , senior citizens, widows, the lonely.
Today families across Goa , especially the poor and illiterate are suffering with own blood members who are persons with mental disabilities.
There is a huge demand for rehabilitation at our homes and very soon we will be unable to provide care In our homes to all & sundry.
If each village has VOLUNTEERS who can identify people with initial stages of mental disabilities then 80% of the problems can be solved in the families itself.
OR if in each village in Goa our volunteers are available then families can approach these volunteers either for :
》Appointments at the IPHB,
》Reminders about their monthly visits to IPHB,
》Transportation to the IPHB,
》Medication if to be bought from outside,
》A person shoulder to fall on in the future if the family member with disabilities is not stabilizing,
》A support to admitt into IPHB if too aggressive.
What Street Providence is offering to VOLUNTEERS:
》A dedicated man power at IPHB to facilitate the evaluation of a person with disabilites on the day of the appointment or follow up.
》Medication as at times not all medicines are provided free of cost at IPHB.
》Admission into our rehab homes incase of actual need of care & rehabilitation.
Assistance to admitt into IPHB if the patient is violent and uncontrollable.
We have mastered the Art of caring for highly chronic patients suffering from all types of mental disabilities of which 95% are poor goans and the services are free of cost so our target is the poorest of the poor.
With a current bed capacity of 250 beds we are intending to go upto 500 beds before December 2025.
With assured support from the Government of Goa through various departments & with ample of man power available at our homes it's time to reach out to as many as possible especially the poor in Goa who are having family members with mental disabilities but no free facilities to rehabilitate them.
To be a Volunteer one needs to be kind hearted and have love to serve and care for those suffering quietly with mental disabilities.
It may sound difficult & frightening working in the field of mental disabilities.
But belive me ” it's a direct blessing from God ” as I am an example of how much i & my family have received GOD even though I don't qualify for these super natural blessings.
We have an online form which needs to be filled up once you make up your mind to be a Volunteer in your village for helping persons with mental disabilities.
Pure service without any payment and without any social media promotion.
All communications strictly through whatsapp messages only on 8380097564.
God bless you all
