STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA takes off the streets 2 Goan homeless men, one elderly man & one youth. 
☆ 1. Hanumant Chanekar is from Raia , Salcette as he says, elderly Goan man and is using a stick to move around. 
One month back late night he was picked up by the police / reached the Police @ Mapusa Police Station all tired, sick, stressed & lonely. 
We requested Mapusa Police to kindly admitt him for a few days into the hospital which they did and did not shoo him / drive him away . 
District Hospital Mapusa did a good job by treating him for a month. 
See his picture , before and after 1 month. 
Two days ago I am given to understand that he decided to leave the hospital and started wandering. 
Bang , he was picked up by Colvale Police station on the highway wandering along. 
We took him in today. 
Incase any one recognises  him and his family , pls let me know through whatsapp only on 8380097564 . 
We have experienced great understanding and compassion between personal of Colvale & Mapusa Police Station especially regarding goan homeless people. 
☆ 2. A Young goan boy from Alto Dabolim , walks for over 75 days around Goa searching for place to stay. 
Comes from a family but his parents and his brother don't want him at home. 
For over 3 years he was in another home . 
But not sure why he left by end June 21. 
He is a bit aggressive and is slightly complicated. 
Speaks good English. 
He approached many police stations but most of them did not entertain him as I assume he has some past history which all stations are aware off. 
10 days back he called me. 
We took him in and he slept for like 7 days non stop . 
Can't image how , where and how many kms he walked in 75 days searching for help . 
He says he slept at bus stops , road side, gardens,  etc  . 
At times he eat nothing for 2 to 3 days and this was all during the rains . 
Strong man . 
Anyway he is now relaxed and back to doing some basic work. 
But still weak and exhausted. 
We know his family but we can't do much . 
Only prayers and blessings upon his family . 
We as an NGO are there helping the homeless street people in Goa 24*7, 365 days , last 4 years. 
We also pick abandoned people from hospitals and health centres . 
Our services are free of charge for the homeless and the street people. 
Everyday we are flooded with such requests and we always try to help . 
Some cases require only Police intervention especially when one is on the streets and is unknown as legal paperwork is very important.

No calling please 
We will study the matter and surely help if we can , but on case to case basis
