How one goan IAS OFFICER went out of way to help us 3 years back and today a miracle happened by the Grace of God that the problem which this IAS officer was facing for years within the family has been eradicated / resolved.

Well exactly 3 years back I had approached a Goan IAS OFFICER, who is still in service to help our homes with regards to a particular request.

This IAS OFFICER could have said ” i will look into the request and I will get back to you “.

But this Goan IAS OFFICER did the opposite, which most government officials should learn from.

This Goan IAS OFFICER picked up the phone explained our request to the person on the other side , took our application and said ” REQUEST APPROVED , JOB DONE “.

Please wait for 15 days,  was the request.

Believe me within 15 days our request was granted.

Last 3 years because of this Goan IAS OFFICER our monetary benefit in KIND is worth 

Rs 10000 per month × 36 months = Rs 360000 for a particular product which all our residents benefit and need daily.

In addition last 3 years from the same person who was on the other side of that phone call our shelter homes got cheques worth Rs 10 lacs as donations.

No commission, no under the table , no return favors asked.

And even today the benefits are coming.

But at the time when I had approached this Goan IAS OFFICER, I did not know, nor was aware that this Goan IAS OFFICER was having serious health issues within the family and these health issues was a source of worry to this Goan IAS OFFICER.

One day I was briefed and I put a team together  to address these health issues the family was going through, which went on for about 6 months & then we stopped visiting these family members and the Goan IAS OFFICER did not take offence.

But just 2 days back at the time of me writing this post i was briefed by a certain company @ Verna industrial Estate, inquiring whether I knew so and so person.

It then struck me that this person was a family member of this Goan IAS OFFICER and it' was a miracle that the family member is employed at a MNC company,  was once suffering from a sickness which is difficult to come out off.

I concluded : this Goan IAS OFFICER solved my problem 3 years back without knowing me & the silent prayers and blessings of so many homeless people in our homes moved the SPIRIT OF GOD , that GOD had no alternative but to open the flood gates of Heaven and release that power on this family member of this Goan IAS OFFICER. 

No matter what I am or what any one thinks & concludes about me and my attitude – it's the poorest of the poor who are important at Street Providence and when you help, you are helping poor goans with serious mental disabilities at our Shelter homes not Donald Fernandes.

Usually some IAS / IPS / GPSC officers once in that hot seat forget the poor and needy requests and will tell you all rules and regulations till you show some interest in addressing their personal concerns and that in turns brings curses and destruction in these officers lives which at that point of time, no one understands.

To those in power – never use that seat you sit on to make the lives of the poor especially ladies with mental disabilities, children in orphanages and homeless a misery.

You never know what will happen to your own children or family members when you retire and are not in power.

Power is not permanent.

Blessings are permanent.

Think wisely as God has blessed each one to be a blessings to the less fortunate.

Don't mess with the poor and downtrodden.

Please don't ask me who is this officer.

But send this message to people who work in high positions who you think might change their approach towards society.

All communications strictly through whatsapp messages only on 8380097564.
