Abandoned Miramar man finds shelter at Street Providence after months in Hospital.

After nearly six long and lonely months in government hospitals, with no family to call his own and no place to return to, Peter Rodrigues — once a proud resident of Miramar — has finally found refuge at Street Providence, a home that opens its doors to the forgotten and abandoned.

Peter’s story is one of both heartbreak and quiet strength. 

His life changed forever after a tragic fall left him with a broken leg and severe spinal injuries. “I had a bad fall,” 

Peter says. “Since then, I’ve been in a wheelchair. I couldn’t walk… I couldn’t even move on my own.”

For two months, he was under the care of Goa Medical College (GMC), where doctors operated on his back and did their best to treat his injuries. 

But while his body was healing, his soul remained burdened by another wound — abandonment.

With no family coming forward, no one asking for him, Peter became just another name lost in the system. 

Day after day, he remained alone, his world reduced to the sterile walls of hospital wards and the occasional footsteps of nurses passing by.
