We Come to the end of 2 occassions :
Lent and as well as The financial year 23-24.
“Remember that Lent & Ash Wednesday
are just not about putting away bad things.
It's is more about creating good things
and helping the poor & the needy,
being kind to people & much more “
This post is about ” how you can help us “.
We are continously being approached by many genuine poor goans for rehabilitation & all the requests are either people with :
☆ Mental disabilities
☆ Drug abuse
☆ Alcoholic addiction
☆ Stroke related
☆ Absolute poverty and hunger
These are most of reasons why we are contacted
But the issue is resources on a continous basis.
If we refuse admission ➡️ we are accused of being greedy for only asking donations and not taking in the poor goans & homeless suffering from disabilities.
If we accept admissions ➡️ we need to look into the bills which keep mounting, which is currently the issue.
We have close to 60 ladies & 110 men In our 10 homes in Goa of which 135 are suffering from disabilities and of which most are goans.
Our current capacity is 240 beds but we can't go above 180 as our calculations go haywire and we are not getting much commitment from any Government departments about our grants.
We have another 29 goans taking psychiatric treatment in the hospital who we have committed to rehabilitate.
We have many poor goan families in need of dry ration, basic medications, etc & they are so poor that they don't get help from the authorities.
That's where we step in to help them in a little way.
From 1st April 2024 , we are putting up a team to visit all 3 major government hospitals daily for an hour only helping the poorest of the poor ( priorty goans ) either with medications which they need to purchase at times or with diapers/ pampers as at times they just can't afford.
We are seeing to much despair, heart breaking situations, hunger in poor goans Homes, too much of mental issues with poor goans.
But belive me, too many poor goans are turning homeless due to mental disabilities which is the major issue today in Goa.
And we are entering Summer season with temperatures expected to be higher than expected.
If you are in need of any tax benefit before 31.3.24 then we offer you 80G exemption on your donation through our NGO.
If you feel that this LENTEN season you can do more for those who are suffering from hunger & homelessness with disabilities then now is the time to get in touch with us and donate for a cause.
Easter is about bringing that life to some one in need of your blessings through your donations.
Those who are the happiest are those who do most for the others.
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will reward them for what they have done
Helping one person might not change the world,
But it could change the world for one person.
