A poor goan family lives in this mud house which is on the verge of collapse, propped up everywhere by props , which that too is giving way @ Borim Shiroda Goa.
The below link will show you the actual house condition.
The floor of this house is of mud.
An elderly mother totally undernourished sleeps on a old mat on this mud floor.
Leaking roof and peeling off walls in the entire house.
And this is what we saw about 10 days back ie
Arturo Dsouza, Anna Gracias and myself .
So we decided to do something for this family.
On 15th August 2024 we gave a semi new fowler bed so that the elderly lady could sleep on a bed with a rexin mattress and it's easy to clean it as she is bed ridden / paralyzed/ disabilities.
This link is on 15th August when we gave the fowler bed.
Quickly we took a quotation to repair the worst affected part of the house ie the kitchen & the back side as it's nearly collapsed with huge holes in the walls.
Due to rains and the topography it took us a few days to organise the material as well as the labour.
Yesterday we paid for the material, etc only for the back side of this house which includes the kitchen.
We expect to complete this roof work in 3 days and counting.
After that they require a small bathing room & washroom attached to their home.
That too we will provide.
The entire home requires floor tiles .
The middle room needs the roof to be redone.
The front balcony is on a metal prop which is also rusted & falling down as the white ants have eaten up the wooden rafters and ribs.
We will be undertaking the repairs, little by little in parts but also on how we receive donations for this house.
It's too sad to see such pathetic living conditions of this family.
We are appealing to support us as we undertake to do up their house stage by stage.
