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

Updates
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 ?

VERY OFTEN, SOMETIMES EVERYDAY, WE ARE REQUESTED IN GOA , TO TAKE OFF THE STREETS, PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS AND IN INHUMANE CONDITION.

Updates
26.7.24. 7pm IST
Very often, sometimes everyday, we are requested in Goa , to take off the streets, people who are homeless and in inhumane condition.
And these requests are even from government hospitals in Goa which have many such homeless people brought by the Goa Police.
It's the most difficult service to provide as most of these cases are so bad and pathetic that as many as 12-16 months is the recovery time.
Alcohol and drugs is the cause of their horrible medical condition.
One such case is a Maharashtrain Mr Sushil Falke from PUNE.
Was working in coastal area and naturally drinking to an extent he lost weight and developed multiple health issues resulting in his mental imbalance as well inability to stand & walk without support. 
FEB / MAR 2023 , district hospital mapusa requested us to admitt him into our home as he could not be kept longer in the hospital.
Admitted into our home,  but was too weak for initial few months so was put on physiotherapy & diet which was high in fat & protein.
With medication and care by the care givers and regular follow up at hospitals he started to regain his strength.
Initially was given light house hold work to keep him moving else they feel they are in a hotel where everything is free and no need to work.
From light work was then put on the food car to pick food and finally once confident was put in the kitchen as a cook.
Last 6 months he has been doing a good job as a cook witn responsibility and sincerity.
Claims to have a wife & children back home which is one of the most common reasons we hear once they recover. 
Tourist season too is around the corner so he might be tempted to get a job in the coastal area but thats a risk he takes of walking away from our home.
We have a policy : once you leave our home and you are fit and fine , if found back on the streets we don't accept you back as the troubles to get you back on your feet is costly and sets a bad example for others to follow.
70% of the men like Sushil who have recovered & left our homes claiming they have family back home are going to their villages have never gone home but are back to alcohol and end up on the streets of Goa & soon or later are in worse conditions then they were earlier.
On the other side we have 20% men who stay back and work with us as they know that their problem is Alcohol and if they leave our home one day they will end up as unclaimed bodies in the morgue.
Only 10% actually go back to their families and live normal family lives.
One thing is assured in our rehabilitation program is ” All bed ridden patients irrespective of their medical condition at the time of their admission,  will walk and stand up but the time frame is 12 – 16 months “.
Our Physiotherapists do a great job in getting such bed ridden patients up & running supported by the care givers and house incharge.
Last few months we have gone slow on admitting such cases ESPECIALLY MEN,  resulting in piling up of homeless MEN in Government hospitals as well as on the streets of Goa as government is not providing us funds ESPECIALLY for MEN & running costs are touching close to Rs 20k to Rs 25k per men per month to take care off.
Looks like The Government prefers that these homeless men stay in the Government hospitals which is more expensive than be put in a shelter home.
Margao, Panjim , Vasco & Mapusa cities have a huge no of such homeless men but the Government is not supporting our Ngo with funds and that's the reason we are unable to do much.
Only in extreme cases we are accepting homeless men into our home.

Sir Bosco George retd IPS who physically drove from Goa to Oras and went around the villages to see the destruction and get a first hand understanding of the loss & destruction.
Lots of poor simple people both catholic & Hindus lost their houses which are basically mud houses.
We @ Street Providence assured The Archdiocese of Sindhudurg that we will come back and provide relief in the coming weeks through the little we can.
Lots & lots of destruction and losses suffered by the poorest of the poor who lost everything.

STREET PROVIDENCE MANIPUR REACHES OUT FOR THE 2nd MONTH IN A ROW TO ONE OF THE MUST ISOLATED AND INTERIOR SCHOOL IN CHURACHANDPUR WITH DRY RATION.

Updates
24.7.24  6 am IST
STREET PROVIDENCE MANIPUR reaches out for the 2nd month in a row to one of the most isolated and interior school in Churachandpur with dry ration.
Watch the video . You will see reality.
Whenever there is any sort of unrest , the poorest of the poor including children are the most affected.
For over a year , we are aware of the issues in Manipur.
With an economy on the standstill it's not easy for the poor.
School children are one section which we have focused on continuously over the last 1 year and its a priorty for this coming year as well.
St Joseph High School @ Singat, Churachandpur is one of the most interior & isolated places in this rugged and devastated area which I had been to during my only visit to Manipur.
Scenery is fantastic but poverty is plenty.
Children study here as well as stay here but fees no-one pays as they just can't afford as there is no economy.
The school has a hostel for boys and girls but the capacity is beyond what is actually the sanctioned strength.
It's so sad & disappointing for the children  that the priest has to keep them in the school as there is fear & unrest outside.
But to keep them in the school the priest requires food clothing Medicines stationary.
Chuch collection is negligible and school fees no one pays.
One benefactor Mr Brian has committed to 
Rs 50000 worth of Dry ration for 5 months to this school and this is the 2nd month in running he has paid for the ration through our NGO.
Our team in Manipur which is based in Imphal along with the Archdiocese of Imphal has organized this dry ration at St Joseph High School Singat.
We @ Street Providence be it either Goa , Manipur , Jharkhand and Maharashtra are continously working with the poor and the needy providing dry ration , education material , medicines in these states as we run shelter homes for poor people with mental disabilities.
We basically work in the vicinity of our shelter homes in the 3 states out of Goa.
In Manipur , Jharkhand & Maharashtra we work with the local Archdiocese where ever our shelter homes are situated and based on the Needs of the people we undertake relief work & other services.
This month we have purchased and sent dry ration to another school in Tengnoupal which is going there for the 1st time.
One leading restaurant chain in Goa has assured initially 3 months dry ration to this school which is again very very interior and children are in need to dry ration to be able to survive.
We are being approached at our Manipur office or even on the phone by other schools asking for dry ration and medicines.
If you reading this post and has seen the video in this link feel you can step in and support one such school with dry ration then please let me know.
It's a monthly donation so you can plan your expenses accordingly.
Thanks to Joseph Fernandes from Aldona
( press reporter ) who made 4 trips to Manipur for being the link & net working between many schools in Manipur & our office.
Joseph knows the topography at the back of his hand as he has worked alot across Manipur during our relief work when we had sent 4 trucks from Goa.

Our back office team headed by Sapnesh Salgaonkar and his drivers and loaders made sure the logistics and distribution went as per the plan.
Usually when distribution of such huge quanity of ration bags is given to hundreds of families the head of the NGO likes to click pictures and claim credit.
But at this distribution you won't find a single picture of me or my staff as we just sat back and allowed the NGOs & individuals to do their work.
It's all team work over 10 days in this heavy down pour of non stop rain and rain.
We thank Mr Nelson Rodrigues for recommending our NGO to SANGAT GURUJI volunteers which enabled such a huge qty of dry ration ie 1008 bags or 6500 kgs to reach the poorest of the poor in Goa.

HELP US RAISE FUNDS TO THIS ETHNIC POOR GOAN WIDOW & HER SON WHO IS ON DIALYSIS.

Updates
18.7.24. 8pm IST
Help us raise funds to provide a decent living area which includes a front door , flooring & a roof to avoid their house falling down, to this ETHNIC poor goan widow & her son who is on dialysis.
If you are :
unhappy with your job,
disappointed with your home,
feeling down as you got no friends,
complaining about everything in life,
Etc. 
STOP.
These links is what you should click on and watch how our poor goans live at times and they just can't grumble as no one is there to listen.
Clint & his mother are from Mandur and due to genuine medical reasons he lost his kidney and had to undergo dialysis.
From being a drummer in a reputed band his world collapsed and all his savings got exhausted.
Their house is very very small which is like say 3*4 Sq mts in dilapidated state & a 2*2 Sq mt which is a kitchen & attached washroom which is Equally more dilapidated. Its not shown on any video as it's too too bad to show.
The worst part is their only access is their front door but the water has seeped into the frame and white ants ate up the frame leaving the front main door unusable.
Top it all huge bandicoots have been entering their front door at night as they could not afford to repair the frame of the door & a plastic was tied to keep the rain water from entering the Home. 
We come across MANY such ETHNIC GOAN patients in hospitals who come for dialysis and our staff ANNA GRACIAS meets them daily & the worst case scenario is reported to us. 
Daily ANNA distributes through our HEALTHCARE BANK , free diapers, at times 
medicines etc to such poor ETHNIC GOANS and she spotted CLINT & his mother.
Early this week Arturo Dsouza our volunteer followed up with the details that ANNA provided and met the family.
Immediately we sent a envelope for this month living expenses and bag of dry ration.
Mother gets rs 2000 as dole which they survive on and neighbour's help quite often.
Today we got on the job and repaired the frame of the door by putting a new frame.
Tomorrow the door will be screwed back on the frame and their nightmare of bandicoots entering their house will be a thing of the past.
To avoid their house getting further damaged due to the rains & to increase their living area , a shade / shed Is to be put up of metal ASAP.
We have assured them that coming week we will put up the shade / shed and that will enable them to move out a lot of their things and their room becomes bigger and better to live in.
Their tiled roof needs urgent repairs once the rains subside which we will do for sure.
We have assured this family that every month we will provide a bag of dry ration and an envelope which is for their monthly expenses.
We appeal to you to donate to us as we wish that the house has a shade/shed either through :
》Monetary Donations,
》New metal sheets,
》Metal columns 
》Floor tiles 
》Etc.
If any one is a fabricator and can provide free services we will be happy
There are many poor ethnic goans suffering from Dialysis and have no support at all besides rs 2000 that government gives as and when it feels.
We have compiled a huge data base and we are requesting monthly support to such families as that's the only way to help them.
We will upload case to case such genuine ethnic goans suffering from DIALYSIS & in need of Help and we will help them in due course of time.
We once again thank you all for support shown over the years to our ngo through your donations,  prayers and blessings.

WE HAVE COMPILED DATA OF A HUGE NO OF ETHNIC POOR GOANS SUFFERING FROM DIALYSIS , IN NEED OF HELP IN THE FORM OF LIVING EXPENSES

Updates
16.7.24. 8pm IST
We have compiled DATA of a huge huge no of ETHNIC poor goans suffering from DIALYSIS , 
in need of Help in the form of living expenses & this no is increasing.
But how did we find/ reach / meet these particular poor goans suffering from DIALYSIS ?
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA runs a HEALTH CARE SUPPORT BANK in hospitals where we help the poorest of the poor.
Daily our one dedicated team moves around in hospitals distributing diapers to the poorest ETHNIC goans as well as at times we provide free medication which is not available in stock.
Our staff sits and talks to such poor Ethinc goans and collects alot of info which is shared with another volunteer.
This volunteer then visits these poor ETHNIC goan families suffering from DIALYSIS back in the villages and most of these goans are so poor and penniless that it's heart breaking to belive.
Many many people tell me GOA HAS NO POOR
》Well when u drive an SUV,
》When u use private hospital for treatment,
》When u eat in expensive restaurants,
》When u buy branded clothes,
》When u bribe to get your work done,
》When u have the latest gadgets,
Etc
Then you will never ever see poor ethnic goans.
You can only see the poor in hospitals.
And that what we do.
Daily our teams are in various Government hospitals.
Dialysis eats away the megere earnings of these poor ETHNIC goan to an extent that death is the only solution as nutrition is too expensive when the family member is on DIALYSIS.
We are looking to start free homes for the poorest of the poor ETHNIC GOANS so that atleast their last few years can be lived in dignity and they get proper nutrition & company of fellow human beings.
We are also looking for donations or rather monthly commitment from individuals directly  towards such poor ETHNIC goans once we provide you the details.
No need to route through our NGO.
We will tell you who is in need of your monthly donations and you can give directly. 
Most of the poor ETHNIC GOANS are surviving only on the monthly dole that they get from the social Welfare department which is rs 2000.
Two sickness – MENTAL DISABILITIES & DIALYSIS , can happen to anyone, even to the rich and powerful & both these are the top sickness today in India.
So be careful don't destroy ones health.
If you are blessed abundantly and are well off and you are motivated and your conscience tell you ” Help our ethinc poor goans ” then you should get in touch with me through whatsapp.
Give life to those suffering poor ETHNIC GOANS from DIALYSIS and receive Grace of God as well as prayers and spiritual blessings from the one you and your family are helping.
We will be uploading a few such terribly sad & heart wrenching suffering of poor ETHNIC GOANS on dialysis and we have adopted them but we require the resources to provide them.

WE COLLECTS 16000 KGS OF FRESHLY COOKED FOOD COSTING Rs 24 LACS IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS FROM VERNA INDUSTRIAL ESTATE.

Updates
13.7.24. 8pm IST
FOOD BANK SANGOLDA GOA collects 16000 kgs of  freshly cooked food costing Rs 24 lacs in the last 3 months from Verna Industrial Estate. 
Project supported by : Inspectorate of Factories & boilers dept, Government of Goa. 
》Factories donating food : 7 as of date 
》Average daily food collected : 250 kgs
》Meals per day fed with this food : 600 meals 
》Wastage per day due to spoilage : 50 kgs
》Total fed in the last 3 months = 45000 meals.
》Cost of food collected = Rs 24 lacs @ 150 per kg.
Food collected in the last 3 months from 7 Factories in Verna :
》April 24 = 5 tons
》 May 24 = 5 tons
》June 24 = 6 tons 
We sincerely thank the management & owners of the following companies for the food donation last 3 months :
☆ Commscope 
☆ Microlabs 
☆ IFB
☆ Marksans
☆ Siemens 
☆ Lupin
☆ Sanofi
Any factory/ industry having minimum strength of 250 to 400 employees is surely daily wasting 25 to 30 kgs daily of extra cooked factory food 
as most factories run their staff canteen through canteen contractors & no canteen contractor will ever cook less to bring to the factory canteen.
For many years I took this concept to various Government departments but all refused to even understand the gravity of the environmental damages done to food wastage.
One beaurecrat Mr Sanjit Rodrigues, IAS, Secretary of Factory & Boilers, Government of Goa understood exactly what I was trying to do.
The Chief Inspector of Factories and Boilers, Government of Goa, Mr Anant Pangam, was kind enough to put this project into reality as he too understood the meaning of hunger & poverty.
And rest is there for you to see in the link.
We are moving this concept out of Goa very soon to states where we run shelter homes.
It's going to be Challenging as no factory Willingly will want to give away extra cooked factory food due to one fright – food poisoning.
For that we have a stamp paper agreement where by any food poisoning issue is the responsibility of the food bank or our NGO.
India is criminally wasting hundreds of tons of good Cooked nutritious food daily and I am waiting when The Hon Prime Minister of India introduces a law to ban food wastage and encourages food banks to feed the poor.
Leave your comments in the link and let us know what are your views.

ONCE ON A WHEELCHAIR, TODAY WALKING & CLIMBING STEPS WITH EASE, TB IN THE SPINE WAS THE DIAGNOSIS OF THIS ELDERLY HOMELESS MAN MR VISHWAJEET

Updates
11.7.24. 9pm IST
Once on a wheelchair, today Walking & climbing steps with ease.
It's all about willingly to be challenged even when the situation tells you it's impossible.
At Street Providence impossible is just another word in the dictionary once we made up our mind to make it possible.
TB in the Spine was the diagnosis of this elderly homeless man Mr Vishwajeet when we admitted him into our shelter home from DISTRICT HOSPITAL MAPUSA about 2 years back.
When one has TB in the spine the following are the symptoms : 
》local pain, 
》local tenderness, 
》stiffness and spasm of the muscles, 
》a cold abscess, 
》gibbus and a prominent spinal deformity.
With two superb Physiotherapists on board ie 
Dr Ashton & Dr Chairmaine , the repair or rather treatment of this homeless elderly man 
Mr Vishwajeet was taken up systematically & with monitoring of all his parameters.
At Street Providence it's always about challenges as that is what makes life interesting.
If Vishwajeet was not put on physiotherapy, he would have been bedridden , on a pamper, excess weight, extra care giver to bath him & clean him.
Today through our 140 cctv cameras in all our 11 homes, everything is monitored and everyone has to deliver. NO EXCUSES .
It's not easy dealing with bed ridden patients especially when they are suffering from TB.
We have quite a good no of TB patients in our NGO & its challenging to care for them.
Initially Vishwajeet was difficult to handle as he was convinced that he will never ever walk.
Added to that he was on atleast 12 + tablets which was adding to other issues.
In the last 7 years we have assisted huge no of wheel chair/ bed bound/ stroke affected men & women to get back to their feet so that they can use the washroom by themselves & Have a bath by themselves.
Vishwajeet speaks very less and one has to strain one's ears to understand what exactly he is conveying. 
We feel happy & satisfied that the entire team right from our manager , house incharge , caregivers , Physiotherapist, fellow inmates all played their part in making Vishwajeet believe he can & will walk again. 
Till today we don't know anything about Vishwajeet and it makes no difference to us as he is happy just enjoying his old age by being able to walk by himself.
We have an exclusive set up for such men & ladies who are suffering from such complicated sickness and this home caters to such people who are not from the streets. 
With more than Rs 20 lacs worth of physiotherapy equipment at hand we are ready always to accept all difficult & complicated patients who are bedridden and need inhouse treatment.
