STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA had picked up these 2 homeless men just outside Navelim Church , Goa a few days back .

From late Decemnber 2020 , I was requested many times by many people around Navelim , to help the elderly man , Mr Louine Marquis , aged 70 years .

Why it did not happen was , we were just not having space as we were asked to vacate our biggest home in margao..

But then 2nd week of Feb 2021 , Mrs Roseline , from SSVP , Navelim Church requested me to reconsider if we could help this old man .

Mrs Roseline is our old well wisher and her request was considered as it was a genuine case of an elderly man begging for the last 2 months for help .

The day we reached there to pick the elderly man Mr Louine Marquis, we found another man by the name Stephen also badly in need to rehabilitation. 

Attached a few pictures and a video .👇

Stephen leg was in bad state, he was In pain and his leg would not touch the ground and he must be suffering from :

” Malunion of ankle fracture” 

( malunited bimalleolar fracture left ankle). 

He will need hospitalization and an operation to enable him to walk straight again. 

We have totally stopped picking or rehabilitating any homeless people from Margao & Fatorda jurisdiction, as the biggest home in Margao was shut down when it was given specifically to house the homeless street people. 

God bless that man who instigated the Society to not renew the contract and also the legal mind who was part of the plan to get us out of this home .

As of today, alot , I mean alot of homeless men are around in the streets of Fatorda & Margao jurisdiction asking for help to get off the streets.

In the last 2 months this big home in South Goa is just idle and not used.

Remember this 👇

See how the evil one got his plan executed by stopping our work and you will be surprised to know how many homeless people are suffering and living on the streets due to no place to go and stay. 

And see how we are still struggling to give a new life to those on the streets inspite of not owning a single home in our name .

Humanity at times is gone to the winds .

It's all about property and money. 

Practically everyday we get requests to pick men from the streets, but its just not going to happen as we dont have space. 

This pandemic has brought alot of men to the streets and it's getting worse as the summer starts.

Wounded, skin diseases, hungry , sick alcoholic , etc are on the streets due to circumstances beyond their control. 

Your and our help is all that requires to get them back on track. 

Once the monsoon sets in it will be next to impossible to rehabilitate any more men .

If any one has a big home In South Goa ,

to give us for a reasonable rent or for free to rehabilitate the homeless men , please let me know. 

Our 2 mens home combined are now holding 60 men when they were suppose to hold only 40 men .

So it's going to be very very difficult to accept more men from the streets in such a situation. 

Please DONATE generously towards our NGO .

We offer you 50% , income tax exemption under Section 80G.

STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA, mobile clinic services for the homeless street people, visits Vasco city , Goa on 25th feb.

♡♡ Thanks to Hassan Khan & his team , who has been feeding daily more than 50 such homeless street people in Vasco city on behalf of our food bank , daily afternoon and night , from Nov 2020.

We were able to provide medical assistance and medicines with our Dr to about 8 of such people identified by HASSAN.

Yes we are determined not only to feed the homeless street people in Goa but also to provide medical assistance like medication and hospital visits as we really cant pick up and rehabilitate any more people , due to shortage of space. 

Medicines were purchased and handed over to Hassan for these 8 people and Hassan will monitor them till the coming week or until the DOCTOR goes back for checking on them next week .

If need be , Hassan will also transport them to the nearest facility for medical treatment in our ambulance. 

Summer is starting and the heat is picking up .

We feel the pain of the homeless street people in Goa and that's the reason we have started this MOBILE CLINIC directly on the streets of Goa .

Looking for more Doctors to be part of this project for taking care of just one city at a time .

And can dedicate 1 to 2 hours in a week, please do join in .

We have our volunteers ready across these cities who will support you and identify the homeless who just might be given a fresh lease of life due to your SACRIFICE & SERVICE .

Remember , no one likes to be on the streets and most on the streets are not all bad people. 

Its their circumstances which make them reach the streets .

Once off the streets and polished in our rehabilitation homes , these same homeless people are like diamonds. 

It's only a matter of time , love and concern towards these homeless people. 

Come support us in our mission of eradicating hunger, poverty and sickness in Goa to those on the streets. 

Your support is what drives us forward. 

We offer you 50% income tax exemption on all your donations under Section 80G.

We accept only CHEQUES / NEFT with your pan card copy .

FOOD BANK FOR THE POOR SANGOLDA GOA has been feeding the homeless street people for the last 3 years daily & consistently.

And it all started in Mapusa city , Goa .

☆☆ With Napolean , our oldest feeder cum volunteer who has stood with us for over 

3 years , daily , feeding the homeless between 7 to 7.30 pm , we cant ask for more. 

Watch the 7 min video , not taken professionally due to various reasons. 👇

♡♡ Napolean and Sapnesh both together work as a good team in Mapusa especially making our rehabilitation work look like very easy .

This has been the only city , where more than 150 such homeless street men who you see in the video , have got off the streets, into out homes and over a period of time gone back to restart their lives after their stay with us .

We @ Street Providence are proud to have the support of Goa Police @ Mapusa police station, headed by PI TUSHAR LOTLIKAR , who as a human being understands humanity and that humanity has been passed down to all the Sub Inspectors @ Mapusa police station & support staff, making this police station responsible for getting off the streets in the last 3 years, 150 such homeless people .

Imagine 1 police station and 1 inspector being involved with rehabilitating of 150 homeless from just 1 city .

Goa has approx 26 such police stations. 

From the food bank programme we moved to rehabilitation of these homeless people which resulted in Street PROVIDENCE, an NGO being formed and registered. 

Today ,

from a small food fridge in may 2017 , 

to multiple fridges, 

to 8 rehabilation homes ,

we now are putting a doctor on the streets attending to homeless street people. 

Our converted ambulance is on the way and then the MOBILE CLINIC programe will be complete. 

We are blessed to be associated with a Dr who shares our passion for dealing with homeless people. 

Dr , has a full time job from 9 am to 5 pm , and then 6 pm to 9 pm , he accompanies us on the streets across Goa, wherever our food bank feeders are feeding daily. 

On Saturday evening and Sunday morning or even whole day , Dr visits our homes, medically examinng all our people in the homes as well as those taken off the streets the previous week .

In this way Dr is aware of the health condition of each and every person in our shelter homes. 

We are the only NGO in India who has been feeding homeless street people as well as rehabilitating them in our homes, simultaneously. 

And now we added a mobile Clinic. 

Our projects are completely out of the box and we are adding another one service for the homeless street people, never ever done before in Goa .

Your support is what makes us go forward. 

Without donations, from our consistent and faithful benefactors , its next to impossible to daily provide breakfast , lunch & dinner to close to 1000 such homeless people on the streets, as well as getting off the streets in the last 3 years , more than 300+ homeless people, of which at any point of time we will be sheltering 100 people in our homes .

At the moment , we are short of homes , especially a big big home , but today with sorrow, I can say minimum 50 homeless men and 10 women are desperate to get into a home ASAP from just 3 municipalities of Goa .

But we just dont have space. 

With fuel hitting the roof, our costs are rising and rising daily as 80% of the people in our homes are sick , old , incapacitated, wounded, blind , handicapped both mentality and physically.

Yet God in his Wisdom and kindness has supplied each and every need of our NGO inspite of the entire year being pandemic hit .

During the entire period of the lockdown, we fed numerous people and picked up more than 100 people from the streets inspite of serious threats of COVID 19.

We must be the only home among all types of shelter homes, old aged homes, institutions, etc who kept out kitchen open to feed on the streets as well as kept our shelter doors open to accept numerous homeless street people into our homes without giving reasons of the COVID 19.

And with the Favour of God , non of our people contracted Covid 19 till date .

We offer you 50% income tax exemption on all your donations under Section 80G.

We accept only CHEQUES / NEFT with your pan card copy .

Homelessness is a term we all hear and see and that's what we do @ Street Providence, trying to eradicate hunger and homelessness in Goa.

The homeless are homeless as there are many reasons, which can be due to alcohol, poverty , joblessness , illiterate, broken relationships, etc.

In Goa we we have been picking people from the street for the last 3 years and Rehabilitating them in our homes free of cost.

There is this man who has been just been sleeping outside Panjim bus stop, Goa, for the last four months and who we have been feeding regularly for the last four months through our MOW.

If not picked up he would have not survived in another few days .

We tried many time to pick him up but he always refused, but since we now have a volunteer doctor with us who is a psychiatrist, we took the doctor along to speak to him and get him to get off the streets

The doctor manages to put his point across and the man voluntarily next day got off the street.

Totally weak, malnourished , can be possible that he has a fracture bone in his leg and totally addicted to alcohol and tobacco as that is what keeps such people on the streets alive due to their hunger, pain and loneliness. 

He was so weak that we had to carry him off the stretcher as he must have not walked for over 2 months .

He is now been taken care in our home, all due to the effort of a doctor cum psychiatrist who is doing a wonderful job with us on the streets of Goa between 6 to 9 p.m. daily , voluntarily. 

☆☆ The doctor cum psychiatrist visits our shelter homes every Saturday evening & Sunday morning , monitoring and checking each and every patient and every patient progress.

Its not Easy getting people of the street for us, but when you have a doctor with you who also understand homelessness, then the recovery and treatment of these homeless people are quicker & faster.

It takes a lot of commitment time, energy , resources, manpower , for us & oue volunteers and for the doctor cum psychiatrist to make life easy for people suffering on the streets in Goa.

Thanks to Goa police @ Panjim police station for the support .

You need to have that passion commitment and dedication while reaching out to homeless Street people who most of the times have lost their mental balance.

In spite of of all our Homes being totally full, yet we try our level best to accommodate the weakest of the week on the streets of Goa.

Your support, blessing , prayers and donations is what we ask for.

Getting people of the street always means medication, endless Hospital trips, bandages and dressing and medical tests & reports which eats in our time and resources.

After all Health Care is not that cheap in Goa and most of these people on the streets have no identification.

Please DONATE generously towards our NGO .

We offer you income tax exemption under Section 80G.

This goan homeless man needs help to walk perfectly once again .

STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST, GOA gets Mr Devidas Phadte off the streets of panjim on 13.2.2020 with a wound on his leg wrapped up in a plastic bag. 

♡♡ Devidas has been for years sleeping outside a building in panjim next to HDFC & YES Bank .

From early 2018 we were trying to rehabilitate him as his wound was quite bad

But every time he refused. 

On 13.2.2020 , Amresh from Aldona called me .

Those days he would be unclean, smelly and would sleep under a tree. 

But we finally got Devidas off the streets on 13.2.2031 and he had alot of pain and worms on that foot .

Many trips were made to hospitals, doctors and nurses in the last 1 year .

Today his wound is completely healed as seen in the video.

Devidas balances and walks on that leg on his heal.

That foot can't touch the ground. 

I require advice what is the best way to get that foot to balance completely so that he can walk straight again.

Many times in the last 1 year we almost gave up in him as purposely he would go in the mud and dirt and dirty that leg .

Or he would have bath without tying a bag on that leg. 

And mind you that wound was fresh and oozing till may be 6 months ago .

It required daily dressing and cleaning which went on may be for almost 10 months. 

But today I am happy and proud that all our troubles and frustration have shown results

Otherwise If not for us , Devidas would be still on the streets, daily going for dressing to the hospital in that area and then again getting the same infection and pain back. 

We are that last resort for such extreme cases where usually no one touches such cases and such people except government hospitals. 

At times, medical condition of homeless people are so pathetic that it's just next to impossible to help, as the costs and hospital trips are too high to bear .

But what to do ?

We need to also live HUMANITY .

That's what Street Providence is all about .

And we can only do such work with your support and blessing. 

Inspite of :

Yet we try our level best to reach out to as many as we can daily. 

No matter what one murmurs about me , I daily have enough of responsiblity of close to 100 people on my shoulders and if any one grumbling can do a better job than me please join in .

Try looking after just 1 family member for a month a see .

Here it's close to 100 people average and counting.

We require your support in :

▪︎ Resources/ donations. 

We offer you 50% income tax exemption under 80G .

We accept donation only through NEFT / CHEQUES along with your pan card copy .

This Goan homeless man, Mr Mario Vaz , from Cuncolim, requires Rs 40000 to be able to have vision in his eye.

3 years back we accepted this man directly from the Government hospital.

He was:

▪︎Very tall and heavy in the bones .

Imagine any home ready to accept such a man without any charges. 

Took us 1 year to stabilise him and bring him out of all his issues.

2 years back we operated his 1 eye by getting his retina detachment fixed @ Rs 40000.

That brought sight to his 1 eye.

The Covid lockdown prevented us from fixing his 2nd eye. 

This month we have got an appointment to do a operation on his 2nd eye by fixing his retina detachment. 

The issue is this operation costs approx 

rs 40000 and is done exclusively at 

Vision Hospital , Mapusa .

In the last 18 month we must have taken Mario attest 12 times to the hospital trying to get his 2nd eye operated but most of the time his Diabetes has been out of control. 

Once his diabetes was 525.

But Mario has turned out to be very responsible and co operative. 

In one of our homes he is the MANAGER .

Mario runs the home with his team. 

We have kept him so busy that inspite of having an Amputated leg and no vision in 

1 eye , yet he is doing a fantastic job that his diabetics is within control at times. 

Mario has a big team to assist him .

He has 

▪︎1 assistant for the medication. 

In that house there are 35 men of which 25 are on prescribed medication and Mario keeps track of everything and anything. 

Mario has a phone which he keeps updating our Manager , Sapnesh with all that happens at the home .

Once we operate his 2nd eye , then we will fix his amputated leg.

If not for Mr Rocky , Now Asst Sub Inspector, Goa Police , attached to , police outpost at GMC , who requested us to take him in, when he was operated and amputated for his leg, Mario would not be still around to see this day. 

Can u imagine that day when Mario was going to be discharged from the hospital, what must have been his mental frame, knowing he lost a leg due to amputation. 

He must have been all confused and stressed whether he would be living back on a street or on a bus stop. 

His health was really bad and he required a home to recover. 

We were that home.

What we sowed in Mario life 3 years back has brought fruit to our shelter home .

This is how plenty of Goa Police personnel work at times .

HUMANE TOUCH .

Mr Rocky could have walked away and said to himself, ” why break my head on Mario “.

But Rocky choose to live and walk with HUMANITY .

We got a very good and responsible MANAGER in our 1 home.

Can u imagine what that means to MARIO & us @ Street Providence.

Mario has something to look forward too inspite of his disabilities .

That's what we do in our rehabilitation homes. 

We take in those, whom the world rejects or avoids and chisel them till they began to shine for others in the home .

Mario has been continously listening to the WORD OF GOD, which plays on a CD.

We must have missed many more like Mario on the streets , for many reasons.

You took can play your part by reaching out to homeless people on the streets and getting them into various old aged and shelter homes. 

But we require your support.

Looking after homeless street people requires alot of resources especially hospital trips and medication.

Please support us through your donations both through kind and cheques/ NEFT .

Please DONATE generously towards our NGO .

2 days back our NGO received free, a next to new Thread mill & a elliptical cycle from a benefactor Joseph from Margao for our rehabilitation homes.

Yesterday we gave away a brand new wheel chair which was donated to our NGO but kept as reserve, to a lady who broke her leg. 

Her husband could not afford a new one .

We could have given our second wheel chair and Kept the new one for our homes .

But no , we always give the best to the poor and needy .

Rosita from Divar is a special lady and she had WhatsApp me asking for help 7 days back.

The below link is when we bought the sewing machine 👇

Watch her video of 2 min when we met her 7 days back.

Please hear the video with headphones as the sound is a bit low.

Yesterday we gifted her a brand new sewing machine as her old one broke and sewing is her only source of income.

Thanks to my friend Sherwin who saw the live video I uploaded 7 days back asking for help for Rosita.

Rosita is from Divar and requires :

▪︎ 1. A small washroom to be built inside her house as the current one is outside her house and for her moving out of the house to the washroom is getting a bit difficult.

May cost Rs 30000 max. 

Require a throne, wash basin, taps , pipes , floor tiles, wall tiles and labour cost.

▪︎2. Rosita also requires her kitchen roof to be repaired as there is water seeping into her kitchen during the monson.

Not sure what will be the cost as looking at roof you cant just say what will be the work .

Her roof tiles are okay .

Only the wood work will be need to be replaced with metal beams and metal strips.

Max area of this kitchen should be 

30 sq mts.

If you can please help let me know. 

If you have any walking aids not being used or barely used like:

Please give it to us. 

We have many amputated men in our homes as well as old men who cant walk at all, in need of these aids .

If you have any equipment for exercising or games for the men to play please let me know .

But give cheerfully and in good and working condition without we being asked to repair .

It's very challenging looking after and rehabilitating homeless street people especially those who are incapacitated, amputated, old and the those with unsound mind .

And most of the men in are homes are from the above description. 

And always do good and share your resources which you dont require ( not clothes ) with the poor .

We always try to help anyone who approaches us.

No one is ever sent back empty handed. 

Solutions are always there with us to help the poor and needy. 

Support us through your donations both in kind and in resources. 

We accept donation only through NEFT / CHEQUES along with your pan card copy .

We offer you INCOME TAX EXEMPTION UNDER 80G.
