WISH / INTENDS/ SEES THE NEED IN STARTING MANY FREE SHELTER HOMES FOR POOR GOAN SENIOR CITIZEN MARRIED PARENTS

Updates
19.10.2023. 10am 
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA wish / intends/ sees the need in starting many FREE SHELTER homes for Poor Goan Senior Citizen married parents .
One of the only Kind in Goa , where married goan senior citizens Parents will be able to stay upto 8 weeks only.
For those who are not poor and can afford, they too will be considered on a nominal fee.
Mid November 2023 these shelter homes will be/ can be / should be innaugrated.
Usually no one reaches out to poor elderly married Parents as we feel it's the duty and responsibility of the children.
But in changing times & changing situations , such Homes might just be the need of the hour as only those who are in pain, stress, disappointment , rejection , bed ridden , suffering from disabilities, those in poverty , etc will always be in need of help .
Since it's a unique concept, we will need to raise funding as Women & Child Department nor Social Welfare Department have a Scheme for a shelter home for senior citizen parents.
Usually it's always the NGOs which have to think out of the box to provide services to the poor & deserving.
Officials in the Government don't want to come up with new ideas and get help to different & weaker sections of society.
These homes will be basically for poor Goan married senior citizens who :
》Might be going through rough patches with family members,
》Might have children who are gone for vacations and the parents just can't stay alone,
》Might be financially down and need time by themselves ,
》Might be depressed due to genuine reasons,
》Might be weak and under medication and just need a few weeks to regain strength,
》Might be bed ridden and no one at home to support including Physiotherapy sessions,
》Might me thrown out of the family due to not being able to bear a child,
》Might be suffering from disabilities and that stress of daily caring & cleaning the spouse is too much to handle,
Or Any other reason on a case to case basis.
Since it's something new we are unable to say 
” We will accept only on these conditions or on those conditions “.
There will always be a study of each and every request – decision is left to the trustees.
We welcome medical professionals to be part of this UNIQUE shelter homes for poor GOAN Senior citizen parents in distress,  like :
☆ Doctors 
☆ Physiotherapist 
☆ Dieticians 
☆ Psychiatrist
☆ Nurses 
This home is open to parents from all faiths and all religions but Have to be married in Goa with a valid Goan marriage certificate.
We need such empty houses across Goa to put this project into reality.
We can collaborate with :
◇ those who have homes but are not used, 
◇ those who have funds to spare for these homes, those who can provide professional services,
We @ Street Providence are genuinely working towards all sections of Poor Goans in need of food , rehabilitation, stay, palliative care and compassion and this is one sector which we have identified to be looked into.
All queries through whatsapp messages only on 8380097564 .
God bless you all

STARTING FROM TODAY, WE WILL BE HIGHLITING THE FATE OF ABSOLUTELY POOR ETHNIC GOANS WHO ARE POOR , HOMELESS AND SUFFERING FROM MENTAL, INTELLECTUAL & PHYSICAL DISABILITIES

Updates
18.10.2023. 10am IST 
In a series of posts starting from today, we will be highliting the fate of absolutely poor ethnic Goans who are poor , homeless and suffering from mental,  intellectual & physical disabilities with only two solutions infront of them – stay on the streets or stay in a shelter home.
And what we are going to consistently highlight is all those from our shelter homes. 
And looking at this section of society day by day increasing STREET PROVIDENCE shelter homes were started way back in 2017.
Last decade the % of person with disabilites was say 1 : 10 or 1 : 7
Post covid, % of disabilities is touching 1 : 5 and that's very scary & alarming. 
Which means today in India about 20 to 25 crore population is suffering from disabilities.
Health care, medication, rehabilitation, care givers, awareness, mid way homes are the need of the hour and this is a very expensive affair which the authorities don't feel comfortable to address and look into.
We are working on the problem by starting shelter homes where the authorities have failed to address .
We are consistently starting new homes looking at the numerous poor goans suffering from mental disabilities. 
As of today we have in Goa :
☆ 5 women homes & 4 men's home 

☆ Coming next month, another 2 homes starting:
》1 home for ladies & 
》1 home for senior citizen goan parents only 
But running free shelter homes for the poor & homeless goans with disabilites requires funding from the Government as well as donations.
♡♡♡ Well, We thank the Government for the support through :
♡ The Social Welfare Department &
♡ The Women & Child Department  
But the funding given is calculated and designed in 2006 whereas we are In 2023.
Its getting very very difficult to manage with the grants given by both the departments as the calculation was done way back in 2004 / 2006.
Besides its going to next to impossible to accommodate so many requests as BELIVE me it's too many out there. 
And 90% requests are really sorry miserable pathetic yet genuine poor goans asking for a place to stay due to poverty and mental disabilities.
Two Government department who we thank & are grateful, for making our life a little easy is :
☆ DHS ( Directorate of Health Services ) & IPHB ( Mental hospital, Bambolim )
Without their support , things would not be that easy.
We badly require more support from GMC & 108
Please watch our video in this link and understand how difficult and complicated it's is  to care for poor people with disabilities ( but yet it is  possible ).
Your support is what we require.
We will get highliting close to 120+ poor goan homeless & those suffering from disabilites across all our homes of the 165 people we currently care for.
God bless you so much

ONE OF GOA’S OLDEST NGO , ASSISTENCIA GOA & ONE OF GOA’S BIGGEST COMPANY SUPPORTS OUR FOOD BANK PROGRAM IN FEEDING THE POOREST OF THE POOR

Updates
13.10.2023. 7pm IST 
One of Goa's oldest NGO , ASSISTENCIA Goa & one of Goa's biggest Company with a strength of thousands of employees, supports our food bank program in feeding the poorest of the poor in Goa & in India.
May 2017 , I started a food bank fridge in a small way to collect extra cooked food and feed the poor in Goa @ Sangolda. 
Today Oct 2023 , we are the biggest and the only GOAN registered Food Bank across Goa, consistently and daily collecting & saving 500 kgs of cooked food from reaching the bins through our Food bank and this food collected daily is fed to the poorest of the poor both :
in our 10 shelter homes &
in other places where we have identified the hungry and the needy in Goa.
But along with cooked food,  we have been consistently providing, by buying month after month, dry ration and packing kits of rs 1000 each, for hundreds of poor GOAN families in rural parts of Goa & across other states in India.
ALL THROUGH A HUGE DEDICATED NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS .
And we have not only doing this in Goa but in Jharkhand, Sikkim & Manipur.
Poor people across the World are always looking for food to beat hunger and that's why food banks are the need of the hour.
Raising resources is challenging but doing what we have been doing consistently has brought two entities to our aid @ Street Providence. 
☆ 1. ASSISTENCIA Goa, has provided us a grant to feed dry ration for three months to 40 goan families which we have identified in Canacona & Sanguem taluka through our 2 local volunteers in that area.
☆ 2. One of Goa's biggest Company, with a strength of thousands of emlpoyees ,  has given us a MASSIVE GRANT to feed 500 poor families for six months across India 
This is a huge boost to our small NGO , that this big company has trusted us in our services to the poor , needy & the deserving hungry.
We work hard , strong and Loud in all fields concerning the poorest of the poor, 1st in Goa & now in many states in India.
In any conflict or disaster , children, women , elderly, those with disabilities are the worst sufferers and usually malnutrition effects this section.
During COVID 19, we had secured a huge grant from Azim Premji Foundation where by we fed 5000+ families across GOA dry ration kits worth Rs 1000 each for close to 3 months.
ENDING HUNGER & HOMELESSNESS is our MOTTO and we are working at the moment only across India through our Food bank programs & our shelter homes.
But, at the right time very soon, we will be setting up operations beyond the shores of India, as we now have a huge and committed team to scale up our relief work to those caught up in natural calamities and conflicts.
We Goans are always branded as Susegad but @ Street Providence we DARE TO DREAM.
Many associations, clubs , groups, entities , companies , can always support us as we provide Food & shelter across India to the poorest of the poor. But that requires money.
” SO LETS WORK TOGTHER TO FEED THE HUNGRY WITH YOUR MONEY “
It's a big big boost and we are overwhelmed with Gratitude that these two entities ie         “ASSISTENCIA Goa ” & 
“one of Goa's biggest manufacturing company ” has understood that there are needs of the poor who are suffering from poverty & hunger both in Goa & across India and we will be there to support these poor families to the best of our abilities.
Today let's pledge to work towards alleviating/ ending Hunger & homelessness in Goa & India by supporting our Food bank @ Street Providence. 
God bless you all

WE HAVE STARTED RELIEF WORK FOR THE FLOOD AFFECTED PEOPLE IN SIKKIM.

Updates
9.10.23. 10 pm IST
More than 100 people are missing in India’s northeast after heavy rain caused a glacial lake to burst, leading to flash floods which ripped through the Himalayan state of Sikkim. 
More than 22,000 people have been affected by the flood, prompting state authorities to set up 26 relief camps, according to the Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority.
STREET PROVIDENCE & FOOD BANK FOR THE POOR SANGOLDA GOA has started relief work for the flood affected people in SIKKIM.
Our NGO has tied up with the SIKKIM CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION to provide relief materials to the affected people in Sikkim.
Our Volunteer Mr. Bosco George, (IPS Retd) has been entrusted with the task of putting into place a plan of action to ensure that the relief material reaches those most affected by this natural calamity. 
Presently dry ration consisting of :
☆ 40 bags rice
 ☆  5  bags dhal
☆ 10 crts of edible oil 
  ☆  2 bags salt 
  ☆  2 bags onion 
  ☆  2 bags potato 
☆ Tea leaves, lighters, candles, torch light ,soup pkt
☆ and medicines worth Rs 10,000/-  has been purchased in Gangtok by our NGO and routed through our team @ SIKKIM CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. 
On 8.10 23 the team procured the dry ration and got the transport organized to leave for North Sikkim in 2 big transport vechiles.
On 9.10.23 ,  the team left at 4 am early morning, travelled 9 hours, then walked 1 full hour with the dry ration load as the roads are non existing and did the distribution. 
Late night by 9 pm , the team was back to the base all exhausted and tired as traveling 8 hours one way on non existing roads is not easy.
This relief material was sent to villages in the NORTH district of Sikkim. These are remote villages along the TEESTA BASIN.
The relief material purchased in Gangtok, was   transported by road uptil Naga and from there the material was delivered by head loads.
The road network and other infrastructure is presently not conducive for travel but in the next few days, a two / three member team of volunteers from STREET PROVIDENCE, Goa will be in Sikkim to assist those who might be severely affected by this floods.
Sikkim has just 30,000 + Christians of which 5000+ are Roman Catholics and SIKKIM CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION is one of the relief teams on the ground trying to assist those in need. 
However, the situation there is perilous. The flash floods have cause alot of destruction and devastation in about 4 districts.
As usual our Volunteer Mr. Bosco George, 
 IPS ( retd DIG ) has used his network to verify the needs of the people in the worst affected areas of Sikkim and according relief material is being sent .
Additionally  Mr. John Shilshi. IPS (Retd) who hails from the North East, also a volunteer / advisor with STREET PROVIDENCE has contacted persons working in the affected areas to ascertain their needs. 
With this information  obtained, our NGO will verify and act accordingly in the coming weeks once road network is restored.
Relief work is team work and co ordination with various other groups with a similar mission. It is definitely not a  1 man show nor a  means of cheap publicity.
With Two retired IPS officers on Board as volunteers, and taking charge of all our relief work – 1st in Manipur & now in Sikkim , our NGO stands committed to working for those poor and impoverished people who are affected due to natural and man made disasters across INDIA
( Certainly one day relief work out of India too ).
Since both,  Mr. Bosco George & Mr. John Shilshi are retired IPS officers, they are atuned to each other and their advice is always on the same lines and that makes our relief work reach the last point across any project we undertake.
These two make a lethal team together with our huge network of staff, long time volunteers and Benefactors.
Man made and natural calamities are continuously occurring here in India and we at Street Providence Goa are  working on a robust plan of responding to such disasters within the shortest possible time frame in providing assostance to those in need.
You too can play your part in SIKKIM  by supporting our SIKKIM RELIEF work. 
God bless you all

OUR TEAM HAD A SMALL CONVERSATION WITH A YOUNG NAGA CATHOLIC PRIEST, FR FRANCIS Vialo , WHO IS THE MAN INCHARGE OF THE ENTIRE RELIEF WORK HAPPENING THROUGH THE ARCHDIOCESE OF IMPHAL

Updates
5.10.2023. 10pm
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA,  two member team comprising of Sir Bosco George IPS retd & Joseph Fernandes, which had gone on our 4th relief trip to Manipur on 29th September finally landed safely back in Goa tonight.
Before leaving for Goa , our team had a small conversation with A young Naga Catholic priest, Fr Francis Vialo , who is the man incharge of the entire relief work happening through the Archdiocese of Imphal. 
Two small videos which you should watch. 👇
Young , Highly educated ( LLB , LLM ) , quick on his feet , always a Broad Smile, extremely easy to get along with , hands on job man , no nonsense and no time wasting , in short A LIVE WIRE in an atmosphere of sorrow , stress & gloom.
For me personally “a one stop man for all and everything our NGO is doing in MANIPUR “.
Without Fr Francis , we @ Street Providence would not have been able to be MOTIVATED to carry on MANIPUR RELIEF as its all complicated and very very challenging doing what we have been doing last 5 months and counting.
Fr Francis takes care of :
☆ Logistics 
☆ Convinces the local chiefs to support ☆ the humanitarian causes, 
☆ At times to move relief aid – finds alternative routes to remote areas ,
☆ Permissions to get relief aid moving across districts which is not a joke. 
And mind you it's 5 full months of nerve wrecking, mind blowing co ordination & communications .
Fr Francis enjoys good will across many district's and across sections of society & all communities in Manipur.
For those across CBCI who know Fr Francis – in short ” he is everywhere and anywhere all the time “.
Never a No & never it can't be done. 
We have given him so many ideas & suggestions and he has got things going.
We are the only NGO across INDIA who had visualized starting shelter homes in Manipur and Fr Francis understood the need for such a service. 
Work has just started on our the 1st such FULL FLEDGED Shelter home for the homeless & those with disabilities right in the heart of IMPHAL CITY.
Infact the commitment of The Archdiocese of Imphal to the shelter homes project is so high , that they have deputed a PRIEST from the Archdiocese, to our NGO in Goa and this priest arrived on 29th Sept and will be here till 30th Oct to study and understand how to take care of the homeless & those with mental disabilities. 
With the Grace of God, one of our relief truck in the future could also be blessed by 
The Archbishop of Manipur as we have invited Rev Fr Domnic Lumon to Goa to which our invitation has been accepted.
Lastly alot more help is required in the relief camps and we have 3 relief trucks planned for 
Mid October, mid November & early December. 
Then we take a break as our 1st shelter home is expected to start in December in Manipur and that means one / two of our many team members will always be present in Manipur round the clock.
With YOU – Yes You generous and committed BENEFACTORS we are doing the best we can In bringing HOPE to those in these difficult & complicated situations.
God bless you all

OPENS UP OUR HOME TO ONE OF THE TWO SISTERS FROM VERNA WHO WERE BOTH BED RIDDEN & LAST WEEK WERE ADMITTED INTO HOSPITALS

Updates
30.9.2023. 7pm IST 
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA opens up our home to one of the two sisters from Verna who were both bed ridden & last week were  admitted into hospitals as their 76 year old mother was too weak to further care and nurse them.
For those who missed the matter refer to the above link .
Joseph Fernandes , our Volunteer, from Aldona was contacted by Melissa, that these 2 sisters plight was very bad.
I was informed by Joseph to help.
Arturo was sent to verify and understand the gravity which was reported as bad , sad & pathetic..
Arturo D'Souza, our Volunteer was instrumental in getting this matter of these poor Ethnic Goan sisters ( Gaude Samaj ) highlighted after I summarized that we can't pick them directly without treatment and getting them stabilized.
Arturo,  Rama , Xencor , Pratima , all genuine Goan activists got together and admitted both sisters ONE into GMC & ONE into District Hospital, Margao and these 4 of them did the best they could to see that they were admitted & treated
Not an easy task as this is difficult & complicated services as all the running around had to be done by these 4.
Some Social media comments were not in good taste.
Today One Sister was discharged & we being the only home who had initially volunteered to help them , kept that commitment and admitted into our home one sister.
Attached a link of the discharge today 
Her mother did the paperwork as per our norms and requested our NGO to provide care and shelter.
Totally bed ridden with high diabetes , wounded leg , amputated foot , etc.
Can't put her foot down at all as  blood will ooze out.
Had to be carried on a stretcher into the house from our ambulance. ( video attached).👇
That's the severity of this poor goan lady from Verna.
We require one full-time nurse to be with her, which we have employed plus there are going to be Hospital check ups and assessments.
Expenses are going to mount as this not an easy case to handle.
The second sister is still at GMC & if we services are required we will also provide care & rehabilitation provided the family requests us and does the paperwork.
We @ Street Providence are continously & daily providing this type of free care & rehabilitation to so many poor Goan people in our 9 shelter homes FREE of cost.
Government is helping but not enough and that's the big issue at the moment.
Of the 170+ inmates about 120 are goans and 90% are on medication with daily hospitals trips for assessment & follow ups.
Caring, treating & rehabilitation of the poor people is not a joke especially if bed ridden and those with mental disabilities.
Easy to make jokes, doubt integrity and pass condemnation but just try helping only 1 such bed ridden poor Goan and you will understand how the health system is gone for a freaking toss especially if one is poor , uneducated,  old , penniless and no influence 
We @ Street Providence are ready to help as many as there are such poor Ethnic goans with full time care & rehabilitation.
Very important to highlight such cases continuously so that the Government gets up from their deep slumber towards these poorest of the poor Goans.
It's good that our genuine goan activists took up this matter and today that hard work and trouble has brought joy and peace to their elderly goan mother who was at so much peace.
We even Volunteered to provide care & rehabilitation to the mother as and when she makes up her mind. Offer is open & valid all 24 hours 
Street Providence is committed to providing free care, medical facilities, rehabilitation, etc to our poor Ethnic goans across the state especially those who are struggling to survive in this materialistic world.
Your support is what we ask to run the homes with all these complicated health issues of these poor Ethnic Goan people.
We operate strictly through whatsapp messages only on 8380097564 .
God bless you all

IS IN NEED OF THESE ITEMS WHICH CAN BE 2ND HAND BUT USABLE.

Updates
27.9.23. 7pm IST
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA is in need of these items which can be 2ND HAND but usable.
☆ Televisions.         ☆ Activa bikes 
☆ Water purifiers.    Washing machines 
☆ Tables.                  ☆ Gas stoves
☆ Ceiling fans.          ☆ Ovens 
9 running free shelter homes for the poorest of the poor and those suffering from all types of disabilities. 
3 new homes starting in the coming months.
Most of our shelter homes rehabilitate poor people with mental & physical disabilities.
Alot of hospital trips so bikes are convenient.
A couple of bedridden patients in all homes and at night electricity fails so taking them to washroom is an issue hence inverters a must. 
Television is the only entertainment for people with disabilities and we are always in need of Televisions as most of the Television we have are second hand and outlived their life.
Water purifiers as all our homes are connected to public water supply and since most of the inmates are on psychiatric medication, Pure and clean drinking water is something which is important to good life of these patients.
Gas stoves are always being over used and knobs keep going or rust keeps accumulating on the stoves .
Plus a few other house hold items are in the poster which we are badly in need of.
Again I repeat ” all these items can be 2nd hand and we are ready to accept as long as it is in perfect working condition and we haven't to repair it and then use it “.
All communications through whatsapp messages only on 8380097564.
God bless you all
