RE ADMITS THIS HOMELESS MAN FROM GMC HOSPITAL TODAY

Updates
2.4.2022. 8Pm IST 
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA re admitts this homeless man from GMC hospital today 
On 10.3.2022 we were requested thru Mr Agnelo to help this maggot infected man get rehabilitation. 
Read the below post of that day ⬇️ 
Since we picked him and took him to our shelter home we realized that his entire foot had been infected. 
We admitted him 1st to District Hospital Mapusa,  but since the case was severe , District Hospital requested us to admitt him into GMC which we did . 
GMC accepted him without any trouble and without any attendant from our side as we have such an Order from DHS that all people admitted into Any DHS Hospital from our shelter home does not require an attendant. 
There some ANGEL appeared. Dr Yash . 
Dr Yash , who attended well to this homeless man, who has has his leg amputated due to the bad infection. 
Dr Yash quite often called us and also followed up with our NGO about the rehabilitation of this man once discharged from GMC . 
Since no homes are accepting such people we decided to re admitt this man into our shelter home . 
If not re admitted and taken care off , this man might reach the streets or be under the flyover begging and living there . 
Where are such people to go ? 
Government should look into such cases and required officials should  see that homes are created for such people. 
Our NGO will always be there to help and rehab such people who are actually homeless and having no place to go once treated at Government hospitals. 
Its going to be REALLY REALLY TOUGH to handle him as he is is stressed and does not talk much . 
There will be many trips for his follow up and I observed that any one who is amputated has VERY VERY HIGH DIABETES and that complicates the rehabilitation. 
I am aware that there can be many such abandoned or homeless in hospitals and we are are ready to accept such people into our rehabilitation homes 
We require your support and blessings as it's a non stop service we provide FREE OF COST daily across Goa to the poorest of the poor , the sick the homeless and abandoned. 
If anyone recognises this man please let me know. 
He was found and picked up from Goa Velha Market area. 
No lip service. Action with rehabilitation is our motive . 
Your support is what drives us to daily pick the homeless In Goa . 
Please support our NGO. 
You get 50% rebate under section 80G of the 
INCOME TAX act, once you donate to our NGO. 
We accept only CHEQUES / NEFT with your pan card copy .

A ELDERLY GOAN UNCLE / DADDY & GRANDFATHER OPENS UP HIS PURSE TO FUND OUR ENTIRE PROJECT OF DISABILTY CERTIFICATE & UDID CARDS

Updates
1.4.2022. 7pm IST 
♡♡♡ A elderly Goan Uncle / Daddy  & Grandfather opens up his purse to fund our entire project of Disabilty Certificate & UDID Cards towards 300 People with Disabilities 
( PWDs) plus two others projects. 
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA has started a FREE project on 1.3 2022 ,  to to help People With Disabilities ( PWDs ) especially those from the rural areas of Goa to acquire their DISABILITY CERTIFCATE & UDID CARD . 
I had uploaded a post on 25.3.2022 asking for donations from general public to run this project which approx costs Rs 4000 per person. 
This is the post of that day ⤵️ pls read. 
The Rs 4000 is not taken as a charge from these poor people who we are helping to acquire the disability certificate but from the donors. 
Some HIGHLY QUALIFIED GENTLEMAN from PANJIM  brought me so much good publicity and blessings by twisting my post and adding spicy masala to the request that he made it look and sound that our NGO is CHARGING the money from these poor people. 
My post on 25.3.22 said ” FOR AS LITTLE AS 
Rs 4000 you can help …..”  etc . 
I did not write ” OUR NGO IS CHARGING …..”. 
The HIGHLY QUALIFIED GENTLEMAN sent out messages on WHATSAPP & on his FACE BOOK SAYING :
“Beware of someone charging Rs 4000 …..” etc . 
Any way this elderly Goan Uncle / daddy & Grandfather heard my request and volunteered to pay the entire expenses of this full project which I had projected at Rs 12 lacs . 
For this month of March 22 we have attached a sheet with post of the No. of PWDs who we have helped this month and all the details of just 2 Talukas . 
Also attached a small video of the no.of PWDs we have taken to hospital . 
Every month we will provide details of the project 
These are poor people from rural areas 
where connectivity is a big issue, 
entering the data in the portal is not what the GENTLEMAN makes it sound like it's so easy , then these poor people need to be taken to hospitals for assessment. 
For all those who believed that GENTLEMAN post , these 300 applications were in the system for over 2 years . 
100% these 300 PWDs would be in the system for the next 2 years if we had not stepped in . 
We are not charging any money from these
300 Pwds . 
Today I am determined to not stop at 300 PWDs but at more 3000 such poor people needing help to get their DISABILITY CERTIFICATE. 
God will send more benefactors to pay for the 3000 Pwds in the future. 
♡♡♡ Thanks to the elderly Goan Uncle & his generations who have earned the blessings , prayers and gratitude from these 300 PWDs by opening up his purse to the needs of such poor PWDs. 
Remember when you are blessed and you bless others , God increases your blessings more than what you bless others with and that blessings reaches down to your generations. 
Once you get the Disabilities certificate & UDID card , life long a small pension every month is given by the government plus other benefits . 
Imagine these poor people getting as little as 
Rs 2000 to Rs 3000 per month life long . 
Non of these 300 PWDs will ever see me or I see them but they & their families will life long remember Street Providence. 
Simple calculation 
300 pwds * 12 months * rs 2000 * 20 years 
= Rs 14 crorers +. 
This is their right and Government is giving willingly. 
But running this program is very complicated,  tiring and needs alot of connectivity and communication. 
Our field officers travel in villages meeting such PWDs and helping them in all the best possible ways . 
Never before any NGO has gone door to door  doing this service of helping PWDs get their DISABILITY CERTIFICATE & UDID card plus free hospital transportation for their assessment. 
We intend to introduce new projects in the future for alot of poor goan people in Goa . 
If you understand the plight of being poor and with disability or bed ridden or homeless then we are the NGO you should be working with and supporting with your blessings. 
Blessings are plenty in our NGO , both for us and the BENEFACTORS. 
Please support our NGO. 
You get 50% rebate under section 80G of the 
INCOME TAX act, once you donate to our NGO. 
We accept only CHEQUES / NEFT with your pan card copy .

TODAY ORGANIZED a SMALL FAREWELL FOR MR SERAFIN DIAS , SP @ GOA POLICE , WHO RETIRES FROM SERVICE

Updates
30.3.2022.  7 pm IST 
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA today organized a small farewell for Mr Serafin Dias , SP @ Goa Police , who retires from service ,  in a very unique and innovative way just outside his office. 
Mr Serafin Dias , one of the finest offers of Goa Police who many like me will vouch for. 
A silent supporter , advisor , friend and guide to our NGO as well as the homeless on the streets of Goa , without whom our REHABILITATION program would not be where we are today. 
As a sign of gratitude , close to 90 + homeless and PWDs gathered outside his office and SHOWERED  PETALS on him as he made his  way to his office , along with waving of white flags . 
Video attached. 👇
My association with Sir Serafin goes back to 2017 , when he was Dysp Mapusa and I had just started the food bank fridge. 
My 1st attempt to meet him officially was not what I expected off. 
I was sent with a recommendation by a very senior official who is now an IAS officer but whose 1st name coincided with a top politician . 
I was made to wait outside his office for an hour. 
Possible he heard the wrong name . 
Thank God I sat there quietly. 
We got talking and I explained my views and ideas of rehabilitating the homeless. 
He immediately liked the idea and said ” Go ahead I will help as much as possible “. 
That day there was no Registered NGO . 
He suggested to form an NGO which I accepted and we started Street Providence. 
Many must be remembering Late Francis Lobo who in 2018 was lying on the streets of Mumbai asking to be taken to Goa . 
Yes we picked him up and brought him to Goa, but the home work with Mumbai Police was done by Sir Serafin . 
Many times I got into issues due to my temper and my impatience and attitude and many times I took the support of Sir Serafin to solve these issues . 
An officer who understands hunger,  poverty and homelessness. 
I can't Imagine if that day in 2017 , he did not entertain my views and ideas of the homeless In Goa . 
After his promotion to SP , & due to two years of Covid , we hardly met and there was no need to meet him , as by that time whatever systems had been created were followed and by now we had a good understanding with Goa Police regarding the homeless on the streets. 
It was just 15 days ago I picked up info about his retirement although 2 month ago , Sir Serafin had introduced me to the Health Secretary for some issues in our NGO . 
We at the NGO thought we should give him a farewell in a very unique manner as this was a unique officer. 
Usually senior Police officers never give you their personal numbers,  they will never entertain you after office hours , will never invite you over for a cup of tea , etc . 
But this officer it was different. All the above points were just the opposite. 
Sir Serafin Dias belong to a rare category of government officials who will go out of his way to help any one once he agrees to help and its within the law. 
A tough officer  to convince , an officer who will not belive views from the heart but will use the mind, an officer not to get emotional but to think beyond that, a simple yet far thinking officer is how I can sum up . 
Many many Current Inspectors and Police personnel have high regard and appreciation for Sir Serafin and many told me ” you are fortunate to have a officer supporting your program of rehabilitating the homeless “. 
Ultimately what one sows is what one reaps. 
It also takes two to tango . 
Special Thanks to our Operational Manager , 
Mr Sapnesh Salgaonkar for organizing this farewell where by 6 different buses were arranged from 6 different homes. 
Putting a plan together with Pwds is not a joke. 
Big thanks to our trustees ,  our staff and the volunteers who braved the heat and high humidity yesterday to take care of these people who stood patiently waiting to send a warm farewell to Mr Serafin Dias 
God bless you all

A BIG THANKS TO THE HEALTH SECRETARY , GOVERNMENT OF GOA. Mr Y.V.V.J. RAJASEKHAR , IAS

Updates
29.3.2022. 7pm IST 
♡♡♡ A big thanks to The Health Secretary , Government of Goa. Mr Y.V.V.J. Rajasekhar , IAS
for supporting the homeless In our homes through the Directorate of Health Services. 
As an NGO looking after homeless street people, many people ask me or must be wondering how do we manage such numbers especially with their health. 
We @ Street Providence Goa , thank the Health Department, Government of Goa for all the support provided in the last 5 years. 
♡♡♡ A big thanks to Health Secretary & Director of Health Services , Dr.Ira . 
Most of our homeless who get sick require admission at times in Government hospitals. 
That's not the issue. 
The issue is an attendant to be kept. 
Keeping an attendant with the patient has been a long running battle and problem which we have had last 5 years . 
1st of all we have 2 to 3 good men in each home to look after 15-20 other men. 
Keeping an attendant with the homeless In the hospital means every 12 hours one man has to be shifted . 
Sending two men out every 12 hours means one pilot has to drive them up and down plus send food . 
We can't afford to hire attendants as they charge Rs 1500 to Rs 2000 per shift and at any point of time we have minimum 3 inmates admitted for treatment. 
As of today, just now we have 2 men admitted in GMC & 1 man in District Hospital Margao. 
Of which Two of them are Person with disabilities ( PWD ) 
Any one can verify tomorrow if needed. 
Plus daily new admission happen in our homes which require our care givers to take care off. 
From last month , because of an order issued by DHS ,  without any  attendant the homeless person from our NGO gets into the Government hospital for treatment and hospitalization with much ease and comfort. 
Very good move by HEALTH SERVICES @ Government of Goa . 
Our team members have the order , which they produce to the hospital , admission happens within 30 min. 
Before our team leaves the hospital,  Police call me as these cases are registered under MLC. 
Such a superb system where there is no time wasting , arguing,  phone calls etc . 
For close to 5 years , I went through a very tough time treating homeless in hospitals and in due course I often ended up fighting with Doctors . 
But today Ira different.  Hospitals trust our NGO. 
We are now more than happy to take all types of homeless people off the streets with proper procedures irrespective of their medical condition as the Government hospitals will now admitt and treat them and we will accept them back into our homes. 
We also take homeless people from all types of Government hospitals if the request comes. 
We have assured the department and the Director of DHS that if there are any homeless people especially men in any PHC / UHC / DISTRICTHOSPITAL , we will rehab for free whether we have admitted or if they were brought by the Police. 
Win win situation to our NGO as well as the Government. 
” Because we have volunteered to take from DHS all types of homeless abandoned people ( which we have been taking last 5 years ), this order has been issued / granted/ given in our favour ” 
That's why off late we have started taking so many homeless people on a daily basis irrespective of their condition. 
As the only NGO in GOA  picking up homeless people non stop last 5 years from hospitals,  police stations,  streets,  etc this support from the Government was much needed and I am glad that we have earned this order without any political pressure . 
We don't have ANY POLITICAL GODFATHER. 
It's our work which stands out and our commitment to the homeless especially the PEOPLE WITH DISABILITES ( Pwd) . 
It's my dream to eradicate the Homelessness from Goa irrespective of the no. of people on the streets and this is only possible with the support of various Government agencies. 
If I can link the system of  :
☆ Goa Police 
☆ DHS ( Health services)
☆ IPHB & GMC 
☆ W&CD ( women & child dept )
☆ Provedoria 
☆ Social Welfare , 
( Poster attached ) ( this is the plan ) 
then surely we can achieve and make GOA HOMELESS FREE . 
All we require is two nodal officers Government appointed to make this dream a reality . 
Today our NGO has managed to only work with 
Goa Police 
DHS ( Health services).
Social Welfare 
Other government departments In the poster are taking time to complete the circle / link . 
Once again , I  especially Thank : 
Dr Ira, Director of Health services & 
Health Secretary of Goa Mr Rajasekhar IAS 
Not to forget the doctors at DHS / GMC / IPHB who support my dream of rehabilitating the homeless and those with Disabilities. 
God bless you all

TAKES OFF THE GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL A POOR ABANDONED MAN WHO WAS TREATED AND LOOKED AFTER IN VARIOUS HOSPITALS FOR THE LAST 7 MONTHS.

Updates
28.3.2022. 7 pm IST 
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA takes off the Government hospital a poor abandoned man who was treated and looked after in various hospitals  for the last 7 months. 
Mr Das as his papers state was taking treatment in the Government hospital for a long time . 
Few years before he was in our home and then not sure where and what he was doing. 
Last week District Hospital Mapusa called us saying can we rehab this man which we agreed after they completed all the paper work and police NOC . 
Tired , weak , old , requires rest , nourishment and human touch. 
This Hospital now regularly calls us when such homeless people require rehabilitation and I feel happy that the paperwork is kept ready just like Chicalim health centre . 
Both these 2 hospitals ie 
District Hospital Mapusa &
Chicalim heath Centre 
Are concerned about the poor homeless and abandoned and their Doctot incharge are really showing compassion to the homeless In their hospitals by not driving out such poor people but by co ordinating with our NGO to provide a place to rehab . 
I feel happy , proud and content that today thru whatsapp messages only, we can spread compassion to the homeless thru hospitals and Doctors. 
It's a dream to make Goa free of homeless people with disabilities ( not included Beggars & drunks as that's a different section of people ) and we are working tirelessly in this direction. 
It's not an easy task but highly possible with the support of various Government dept and you as the benefactors to make Goa a homeless free state . 
The easiest way to help any genuine homeless in Goa in need of rehabilitation is to send me thru whatsapp his video of where he is and his clear picture . 
Also get the local police station involved. 
Rest we will try to co ordinate with the police. 
Plenty of space in our Homes  to take off the streets another 60 men so please let's work together as the summer is getting bad. 
It pains me to see the mentally challenged  especially men just walking on highways , cities etc in the hot sun , bare footed in tatters and rags , going actually no where. 
If each citizen gets help to just 1 such homeless in Goa , with 15 days we can achieve the impossible of making Goa homeless free. 
No lip service. Action with rehabilitation is our motive . 
Your support is what drives us to daily pick the homeless In Goa . 
Please support our NGO. 
You get 50% rebate under section 80G of the 
INCOME TAX act, once you donate to our NGO. 
We accept only CHEQUES / NEFT with your pan card copy .

TODAY AGAIN WE TOOK INTO OUR SHELTER HOME AN OLD GOAN MAN.

Updates
26.3.2022  7pm IST 
Quepem Police Station gets an old goan man off the streets who was wandering endlessly in quepem area . 
Today again we took in to our shelter home an old goan man. 
♡♡♡ Thanks to LPSI Veronica , who used her presence of mind and contacted us and requested to rehabilitate him. 
LPSI Veronica was sure we would accept and such , she did the mans medical and other documents and very late night @ 11.50 pm reached our home in Quepem itself. 
Small video footing attached of 1 minute 👇
At her previous posting at old Goa , LPSI Veronica had brought many such homeless to our homes so she was aware of the procedures. 
Usually most homes don't accept so late any admissions . 
But our doors are always open especially if the paperwork is in proper order and complete. 
This old Goan man is Francis Dcosta as his papers state is either from RAIA or MARGAO and incase anyone recognises him please inform his family or the Quepem Police Station . 
We can't say much but only provide him a place to stay and look after him. 
He was not much dirty means he had just reached Quepem area that same day . 
My sleep got disturbed as the call came late night but we feel happy that after 3 months of starting this home in quepem , the local police station brought in the 1st such homeless into this home from this area . 
The quepem home is a men's home and it was started to take in homeless from the talukas of:
☆ Quepem
☆ Sanguem
☆ Canacona 
☆ Dharbandora . 
Other men's home in Cavelossim usually takes care of the homeless from the talukas of :
☆ Salcette
☆ Murmugao 
In this way , in entire South Goa we can accept any homeless men provided they are brought to our home by the Police. 
Once again you see , know or are told about any homeless requiring shelter , PLEASE GO TO THE NEAREST POLICE STATION & inform them . 
It's the Police duty to help and pick the person. 
Attached a legal document with this post which the local police station has to implement when you report a homeless. 
We can't  go running around Goa when such requests come in as the costs and time and manpower is a big constraint. 
Its not easy task for us , so pls bear with me . 
Most police stations are quite co operative and understanding and should you not get a favorable reply,  then let me know . 
I will give you the higher up nos or other government officials nos but you need to call and follow up on such homeless cases in Goa. 
It's high time , the New Government addresses this issue of HOMELESSNESS in Goa and provides 24*7 contact nos where any homeless once spotted and in need to help is reported to . 
There is a huge no. of Men , ladies & children on the streets of Goa and its rising daily. 
I see alot of talks , seminars, etc on social media conducted by certain people last 6 months but I don't see any homes started to get these people & children off the streets. 
Without shelter homes started or encouraged and funded , these  seminars and talks are reaching no where . 
Action is what I believe in and that action is SHELTER HOMES . 
We are determined to end homelessness in Goa and are now ready to also accept homeless children . 
Your support is what we want . 
Please support our NGO. 
You get 50% rebate under section 80G of the 
INCOME TAX act, once you donate to our NGO.

CONSIDER HELPING LOCAL GOANS SUFFERING FROM VARIOUS DISABILITIES AND CONTRIBUTE GENEROUSLY TOWARDS THIS PROJECT.

Updates
25.3.3022  7PM IST ( Long Post Part 2 )
For as little as Rs 4000 ( $ 53 ) , you can help a poor fellow Goan acquire his disability certificate & his UDID card ( Unique Disability ID) 
As we go through the season of Lent ,  consider helping  local Goans suffering from various disabilities and contribute generously towards this project. 
Part 1 of this project upload on 14.2.2022
⬇️
Read on . ……. 
Any one suffering from Physical & Mental Disabilities is entitled to a life time aid from the Government and other benefits too 
But this requires the Disability to be certified and  a Disability Certifcate issued from the authorities, which is to be uploaded on the portal. 
After following all procedures a UDID card is digitally issued followed by the hard copy. 
Obtaining this UDID Card is a herculean task for poor, uneducated and underprivileged Person living in remote villages of Goa with little or no means of connecting to the digital Portal 
STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST has stepped in to bridge this gap and assist 300 such Persons complete this process and acquire the UDID Cards. 
The Social Welfare Department has  provided us data of 300 such Persons whose Cards are still not issued due to various reasons. 
We have a team of employees who are already working in rural Goa to help these 300 Persons. 
Following is the breakup Taluka wise of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs):-
South Goa  :-    
☆ 1. Salcette – 37
☆ 2. Canacona – 18
☆ 3. Murmugao – 10
☆ 4. Dharbandora  – 12
☆ 5. Sanguem – 9
☆ 6.  Quepem – 31 

North Goa :-
☆ 1. Pernem  – 18
☆ 2. Bardez –   70
☆ 3. Tiswadi  – 21
☆ 4. Bicholim  – 47
☆ 5. Sattari –  2
☆ 6. Ponda – 26 
The expenses involved  during the next  6 months for completion of this  is attached with this post. 
1. Our back office team calls the PWD and takes an appointment with the PWD. 

2. The field officers visits the home of the PWD and checks the paperwork and updates the back office staff . 

3. Back office staff uploads the data into the PORTAL and follows up with the designated person for this project in the Social Welfare dept. 

4. From here the application goes online to the following hospitals 
South Goa : District Hospital 
North Goa : District Hospital,  GMC , IPHB 

5. The staff here again link up with our team and grants the appointment for their assessment. 

6  Once the appointment is given , the field officer confirms this with the PWDs. 

7. On the appointed day , our driver picks this PWD and takes them with their family members for their assessment and drops them back home. 
A lot of time, effort  and co ordination needed to ensure each PWD is taken care through this process . 
Actually Persons With Disabilities are required to acquire their own disability certificate & UDID. 
So why is STREET PROVIDENCE  doing this service ? 
Most of the homeless people in our Shelter Homes are PWDs. 
We  had a hard time acquiring these documents for them.  But we learnt a lot and now are well versed in this exercise. 
The Doctors who certify the Disabilities are know to our team members . 
But for a COMMON man who is a PWD it's very tiring and stressful as most have never ever been to the big government hospitals. 
And all these 300 are NIZ GOENKARS or POGO. 
So if you undetstand poverty and despair then I request you to support this project. 
The Calculation is simple 
300 pwds * Rs 4000 = Rs 1200000. 
That's the budget for 6 months for obtaining the UDID  for these 300 Pwds. 
If any company can support us under CSR  or any individual can support these bills on a monthly basis or if you can take up a couple of such Pwds , please do let me know . 
I have attached the list of the Pwds with their different disabilites for both North & South Goa. 
If more data is required feel free to connect with us . 
All data can be understood if you visit us in our office. 
But please do support this 
At the end of each month we will upload the work done so that you are aware of how many disability certifcates & UDID Cards are generated. 
You get 50% rebate under section 80G of the 
INCOME TAX act, once you donate to our NGO. 
We accept only CHEQUES / NEFT with your pan card copy .

☆ Mr Chandrakant is above 60 years and had suffered a stroke a few weeks back. 
Was picked up by the Police and admitted into Chicalim H centre ( CHC )  on the 1st of March .

☆ Police Noc 
☆ Hospital letter 
☆ Covid test 
☆ HIV test 
☆ Hepatitis B test 
And then got in touch with me and sent me his latest video . 
All through whatsapp only.  Dr did not call 
Its like just perfect. 
No rime wasting . 
Dr Anil in the last 1 year has asked us to help and rehab alot of such cases in his hospital and is well aware of the procedures and documentation. 
When the Dr or the Police do all the paperwork and keep ready it makes us happy as alot of time and efforts are saved . 
Chandrakant is a bit weak and is a little complicated man and it will take time to get him back to normal. 
♡♡ Thanks to John Baptist our long time volunteer from Margao who picked up Chamdrakant from Chicalim and dropped him to Cavelossim in our Ambulance. 
If any one recognises him or his any family members, please let me know through whatsapp on 8380097564. 
Documents states he is from Vasco/ Marmugao. 
He can stay with us along as he wants but surely he can't be without any family members in this world. 
At the hospital , he told the Dr he has no one to look after him . 
Your support is what we want .

TWO DAYS AGO WE ACCEPT TWO YOUNG MEN

Updates
22.3.2022  7pm IST 
STREET PROVIDENCE GOA continues daily to help , pick,  accept and rehab abandoned people who are rejected and thrown out from homes or just on the streets in Goa as well treat and care for them . 
Two days ago we accept two young men . 
☆ Case 1
♡♡  Thanks to Mr Arjun from Living Waters,  Calangute who picked up this young boy from the Streets of Calangute. 
This young boy was sleeping just outside KFC , Calangute. 
Although he looks heavy and well fed , in reality he was starving for food and is very weak. 
Arjun did his basic medical and got the Calangute Police NOC and admitted him into our home  
This is how I like things to be done. 
We just can't run around such requests all the time as at times there is no time . 
☆ Case 2.
♡♡ Thanks to an elderly Goan lady who herself is unwell but yet went out of her way to help this young Goan boy who is suffering from disabilities. 
The young boy has family but is practically on the streets due to alcohol and rejection by the family . 
Quite often this boy is drunk and gets pasting , hammering and torture by others due to his disability which the old Goan lady could not bear to look at as her house is just where all this happens for years . 
The elderly lady drove this young man herself to the local police station and the young man requested the police himself to be rehabilitated to stay and get back on track . 
Hats off the elderly goan lady who just did not feel pity , but convinced me to help , then motivated the young boy thru counseling to start afresh life and then followed up with our team and the police as she was not convinced the police will help. 
Infact various times the people have complained about this nuisance created by the boy to the police and besides rounding him up and giving him a warning has been dropped back . 
We have enough space in our Homes to rehab homeless men who are in Need of rehabilitation. 
But we can't just run around daily . 
If you follow clear instructions without getting emotionally involved, then things get sorted our faster. 
We would like you to do your part in getting any homeless of the streets and in such a way the pressure is reduced on our team members . 
Both of these young boys once relaxed and 
de stressed will be taken to IPHB for a mental check-up to evaluate if they are suffering from any mental issues. 
Lots of lots of requests, appeals and cries for help are coming in daily. 
Life is getting very very difficult for those who are poor , handicapped/ persons with disabilities, the rejected etc. 
It's getting really difficult to take all into the homes at one time . 
But we are trying based on case to case basis our best to help those in need provided the paperwork and medical issues are sorted out . 
Your support is what we want .

REGARDING A YOUNG MAN FROM PORVORIM WHO WAS MISSING FOR OVER TWO DAYS. WITHIN 1 HOUR MAX , HE WAS FOUND

Updates
20.3.2022  8pm IST 
♡♡♡ GOD WILL NEVER ABANDON HIS CHILDREN ♡♡♡ 
Last night at 10.15 pm,  I uploaded a post regarding a young man from Porvorim who was missing for over two days. 
Within 1 hour max , he was found 
In a very swift operation , conducted and 
co ordinated between Goa Police @ Porvorim & Mapusa police stations strictly through Social media  plus God's Favour and all of you who Said that small prayer. 
In short , 
17.3.2022 , boy is in & around Porvorim P. St 
18.3.2022 , he walks away in the morning saying he is going Home at 8am. 
18th he is moving around in many places 
18th his bro uploads a poster searching for him but the picture is of an older time. 
18th afternoon the caretaker informs the cops 
18th evening , I get a picture from Mrs Adrinha Sinha , Ex Indian Navy , Porvorim asking if I spotted this boy . 
19th morning I get many calls from 
ASI Mr Dinesh Walawalkar @ Porvorim Police Station but I missed it due to a function. 
Later in the day ASI  Mr Dinesh calls again and I get the point that this boy is missing which is the same boy. 
19th Night 9.00pm Mrs Adrinha Sinha files a formal missing complaint at Porvorim Police Station. 
That's the time I decide to step in and find this boy who I have been daily seeing for the last 5 years on the road with his mum between Wellness Pharmacy & Cafe Bhosle. 
I understand the difficulty both the mother & son has and it's a really difficult,  sad & complicated matter. 
19th at 10.15 pm I upload my post but now with his latest picture and the last clothes worn with a RED COLOUR line saying REWARD . 
With few min ASI Dinesh @ Porvorim P St gets a call saying similar man is sitting just outside District Hospital Mapusa. 
Immediately Mapusa Police is contacted and it's the right man found. 
It's now close to 11.30 pm and numerous calls and messages are keeping me awake . 
Midnight Mrs Adrinha & her Husband reach Porvorim st to pick up the boy . 
The boy is a special case of Disabilty and cannot talk at all. 
Everything you ask him is a Yes . 
18th being HOLI festival , yet not a single mark of colour applied to him , 
19th whole day no one touched him or hit him or dirtied him nor did he get into any one bad ways . 
Usually I don't get involved with such missing cases inspite of many times posts and pictures coming to me . 
But this case was different as I am regularly for years seeing him. 
Slept at close to 3 am with satisfaction that just one post of mine to close to 10000 people on my whatsapp broadcast got the result In 1 hour . 
God :
☆ Protected that boy for two full days,
☆ Inspired Mr Dinesh , ASI @ Goa Police to call me,
☆ Motivated me to help Mrs Adrinha to file the missing complaint ,
☆ Inspired me to put out the missing post at 10.15pm last night . 
Now I feel in future , any missing cases , we will try to assist provided there is a current date picture . 
Most of the times , the missing person and the pictures are at times years or months apart and searching or attempting to search is quite a task. 
In this case I had a latest picture of just two days old which made the search much easy. 
Once again thanks to all who contributed in prayers, wishes , who forwarded my posts , the man outside district Hospital Mapusa who provided him a meal that day & the Goa Police . 
God's Favour is on SOMDEV as he is known. 
It's been a really long tiring last 24 hours . 
But worth the trouble , stress & tension . 
God bless you all
