STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA admits into our home this poor Goan young man , 35 years old , from a South Goa , with severe mental disabilities due to a severe road accident as a result of which 1/3 of his brain got totally damaged.
Read on .
2 months back a lady calls up and cries and explains her situation.
Attached his picture backwards.
She explains how her husband met with a terrible accident 3 years ago and damaged his brain as a result of which 1/3 rd of his brain is like not functioning & he is 70% mentally disabled with a certified certificate.
She informs that their only child is also mentally challenged.
10 years old , can't speak as yet .
They stay on rent in a small room .
She has a job in a factory on daily wages and keeps the child with the neighbour.
But her husband is totally harassing her and hammering her , shouting and abusing so badly that , for the last 6 months he has been hospitalized for treatment.
Husband is actually not mad , but because of the accident and the brain loss, he gets violent and abusive.
I can't explain more as its really complicated and difficult to write.
No one has been willing to help her with rehabilitation as they cant afford the fees .
We opened our doors on humanitarian grounds.
The man will require monthly blood tests , as he will require constant monitoring of his medication as nothing is working on him.
In my few years of my handling such cases, this is the most complicated and complex , but I still feel that in 6 months with human touch , company , homely food , recreation and light exercise , there will be drastic changes for the better in this man life .
He may not be perfect.
But atleast he will one day not be violent and aggressive and abusive towards his wife .
I was taught by BJ , many years back , to make visions of the result I desire and this is my vision of this man 6 months from now.
It's a challenge and we are ready to accept the challenge.
After all only 35 years old .
Thanks to our volunteer DOCTOR who encouraged us to accept this man.
Without a DOCTOR monitoring him , it would be a big NO & next to impossible to rehabilitate.
For us it's more about HUMANITY and GOEKARPONN.
For the DOCTOR , it's a service to get such cases to a better living facility than a closed environment.
You support to us through your donations both in kind and cheque is what makes us go back to the streets searching for the lost , those in alcohol , the drug abused , the sick the lonely & the hungry , the mentally and physically challenged.
We also accept people from homes on a case to case basis with proper medical reports and a doctor recommendation who are suffering from severe mental and physical disabilities.
