THIS YOUNG WOUNDED & UNDER NOURISHED HOMELESS STREET BOY WAS TAKEN INTO OUR HOME ON THE REQUEST OF GOA POLICE @ BAMBOLIM OUTPOST

27.7.24.  9 pm IST
This young wounded & under nourished homeless street boy was taken into our home on the request of Goa Police @ Bambolim outpost yesterday evening.
Imran is terribly wounded on his leg with huge exposed wound as well as a serious eye infection.
The video in the link will explain his pathetic medical condition yesterday on the streets.
Spotted by Mr Rocky , Asst Sub INSPECTOR @ Goa Police,  loitering around the GMC in a very sad state of affairs.
Unclean, tired , stressed, terrible hungry & seriously wounded in his leg & his eye.
ASI Rocky called and inquired if we could consider this young man.
Like this injured homeless man who was fortunate to get help and got to a home, there are hundreds of such homeless street men looking for help to get off the streets but we just can't help them as the nos are in a few hundreds.
( Last 3 months we have drastically reduced admission of homeless men due to no funds from the Government both under Social Welfare Department & EMPOWERMENT of PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES Department.)
Looking at the picture I could not say no even if I wanted to refuse.
Ultimately its rainy season and the young boy is terribly wounded and ASI Rocky agreed to get all the documents ready for admission by 4 pm.
At 4pm our team with our Volunteer Mr Arturo Dsouza reached the outpost and Goa Police handed over Imran to us.
Very very under nourished and tired and stressed
Last 24 hours slept like a log.
Monday we get him examined and treatment will start at the Government hospitals.
It's a freaking shame that Goa is the one of the only states in India which does not have a beggars home as well as half way homes for homeless people with disabilities. 
Street Providence 11 homes in Goa are the only homes that are being used to care for the beggars & the homeless people with disabilities.
And yet we are forced to beg for grants and take these poor homeless street people with disabilities to the streets to get our dues.
Hon CM of Goa instructions to both Departments ie Women & Child as well as EMPOWERMENT for Persons with Disabilities is not being complied with regarding funding towards our homes. 
TAKE NOTE , Coming week ” If the weather is sunny & bright, we will be forced to protest in front or even in the Secretariat with all our homeless residents how our NGO is not provided grants “.
Section 144 can be applied to all our residents and let Goa Police at Porvorim police station look after them only then one will understand the stress we go thru daily.
Each and every Director is just not understanding the economic situation our NGO goes through daily as everything is expensive and 80% of the 160+ are in severe medication and non stop trips to the hospitals.
I hope this message reaches The Hon CM of Goa so that it is clear that we are coming to the assembly to raise our protests against funds which were promised and sanctioned by The Hon CM of Goa who is the Finance Minister and which is passed in the Gazette but nothing is given as yet to us.
When we make noise Ministers , Directors, Deputy Director gets offended.
But when we don't have funds how do we survive especially when we are asked to rehabilitate genuine cases in pathetic conditions like this boy.
And everyone including MINISTERS / MLAs / POLICE/ GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS request us to rehabilitate poor goans with mental disabilities as well as homeless street people,  which we comply, but where r the funds ?.
We have beds and can rehabilitate at any point of time another 50 people with all mental disabilities as well as beggars but where is the money/funds / grants ?

God bless you all
