This goan lady now lives in a home, sleeps on a bed , sits on a chair and eats meals on a table; has a bath daily, changes her clothes daily, replies to questions when asked.

So what's the big deal ?

Well for over 12 years this same lady due to mental disabilities lived on streets, slept under trees and on footpaths , ate food from unhygienc places, always wore only 1 red saree, no table manners & totally aggressive and disoriented.

But with 18 months of rehabilitation, medication, care , monthly follow ups and blood tests , today she is much cooler , calmer and oriented but has may be early stages of Parkinsons.

Image the hurts , insults, abuse, loneliness she went through for 12 long years where I assume her emotions took a hit very badly.

Only solution is shelter homes/ half way homes/ mid way homes.

If not brought to us by Goa Police today this lady would have still been on the streets or would be Permanently locked up in the mental hospital.

☆ Her only fault : poverty and death of her husband many years back which made her loose her peace of mind.

☆ Result : today she can't be left by herself as she has to be monitored and given her daily psychiatric medication.

☆ Future : Hon CM needs to understand that there are many Goan ladies like her turning up homeless on the streets due to mental disabilities.

☆ Need of the hour : state government needs to address this issue on a war footing.

Not an easy task at Street Providence but some one needs to do this service when the Government pretends to look the other side .

It's really tiring, expensive, complicated, difficult but yet achievable and we need your help to help so many in the streets of Goa who just might be waiting for a second chance to get off the streets
