STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA through this post explains the different type of men we look after in our rehabilitation homes. 

First, all are homeless. 

Of these,  80% are from the streets. 

And 20 % have families but are abandoned and lonely. 

Most of them have serious alcoholic & tobacco issues and  mental issues  due to which they are abondoned and land up on the streets. 

We have managed to create an atmosphere in our home where an elderly man gets a son who looks after him and where  younger man gets a father.

This works well for both as all bond  ❤ together, looking after each other .

25 – 30 % are physically disabled ( incapacitated) and need full time support for their day to day life functions like eating ,bathing, changing clothes , cleaning after urinating and defecating , moving about , exercising joints etc

Each one requires 3 to 5  pampers daily. 

Also have serious mental issues and require constant medications to be stable. 

These men have serious mental disabilities due to mental illnesses  like schizophrenia, residual effects of chronic alcohol , drugs use  compounded by long stay on the streets without proper food and medicines. 

They are sometimes violent,  aggressive,  lack selfcare, refuse medications and need constant supervision and dedicated nursing care for giving  medications and proper supervised activity 

Not in a position to lead a normal,  independent daily life . 

On the streets,  without bath and proper sanitation , brings about all possible skin and terribly bad sickness on the body. 

Such men are isolated and treated and fully recover In 30 days . 

Once terribly into alcohol and drugs , in the depth of agony and pain but once rehabilitated stay back to help others. 

They take the responsibility of running the homes on a daily basis. 

One is the cook,  another incharge of the medication, others take turns in cleaning  bathing and giving medications. 

These men are on multiple medications for many disease like diabetes  blood pressure , heart ailments etc 

But just old and abandoned. 

They are unable to do any work  and spend time talking to each other. 

Category E is a huge number on the streets which is what is worrying me . 

More and more are reaching the streets or are put on the streets due to economic issues, property , old age and  children refuse to look after them and literally push them to the streets to beg. 

We need a home and a big home to reach out to the above homeless men . 

If you share our passion and dream about HUMANITY , then  now is the time to join us . 

With the summer already in full steam and monsoon approaching in the next few weeks  we need to get as many as possible of the streets of Goa . 

We are ready to rent or lease the homes . 

These homes which we require are going to help just the old homeless men who have no place to live.

We are also open to renting 4 to 6 bedroom flats or bungalows which can hold about 15 to 20 such old men .
