STREET PROVIDENCE STANDS WITH OUR COVID WARRIORS, MRS. ANA GARCIA AND MR. ABY FROM CHIMBEL GOA .

Updates
12.9.2020 6pm IST 
STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA stands with our COVID Warriors, Mrs Ana Gracias and 
Mr Aby from Chimbel Goa .
Watch the 4 min video please. 
Remember , last month, we @ 
STREET PROVIDENCE had offered our Maruti Omni Ambulance free of cost to PHC @ Chimbel Goa for transportation of home bound , old , infirmed to the PHC for COVID testing. 
This PHC covers Chimbel , St Cruz , Merces.
Thanks to another Covid Warrior , Dr Jude who is back at his PHC after getting the flu, but how fully recovered. 
Mrs Ana Gracias has been instrumental in convincing me to offer our ambulance for this purpose .
The driver salary, PPE KITS and the fuel cost has been taken care by the Government though the local panchayat, supported by the North GOA Collector .
But the driver can't drive the ambulance alone and an attendant is required. 
Mrs Ana Gracias has been the attendant for the last 1 month in the ambulance without any consideration. 
It's tough volunteering free of cost (or even if a salary is paid ) to transport COVID affected people .
As a small sign of appreciation, We @ Street Providence today handed over 
♡ 1. A cheque as Ana salary for august             2020 as an attendant of this                         ambulance 
♡ 2. Inhalers for both the driver and Ana 
♡ 3. High quality PPE kits from our side             just in case of emergency. 
( No negative comments please )
I always believe every worker deserves ones wages / salary. 
I am sure THE NORTH GOA COLLECTOR will support Mrs Ana for her salary from the month of September 2020.
Big thanks to a Benefactor from Taleigao who paid for these PPE kits in memory of her late husband who just passed away from the doctor negligence. 
Surely his soul is resting in peace .
Thanks to Arturo from St Cruz took the video. 
Also thanks to Sapnesh for all the daily 
co ordination @ Street Providence .
Mrs Ana Gracias is one of a soul one rarely finds in today world. 
Always ready to help the poor , sick , needy.
We @ Street Providence are proud of Ana and we will always support Ana in the future .
We are still looking to purchase another ambulance either new or 2nd hand but should be Eco or Omni.
We have another ( Goan) Covid Warrior cum full time qualified Nurse getting ready to serve on the streets in the coming days.
You need to have passion and determination to do such work for the poor , homeless, sick without expecting anything. 
That's AGAPE .
We @ Street Providence give you that ready made platform. 
Come join in as a volunteer. ( where everything works through WhatsApp only ).
Be blessed and be a blessing to others .
Incase anyone can help us , please let me know .
Stay safe , stay at home .
I am sure the ambulance we sowed at PHC Chimbel has brought the desired results. 
Support us in any way you wish .
We accept donations though cheque/ NEFT 
We offer 80 G exemptions on all your donations along with your pan card copy.

Live From The Field

Updates
10.9.2020 10am IST 
OUR MEDICINE BANK @ STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA is thankful to S.K.BROS, C/o HELIOS LABORATORIES, AHMEDABAD for donating a huge Quantity of medical , surgical , ointments and basic medicines worth 
Rs 1 lac .
Looking after homeless people is directly linked to medicines. 
Medicines don't come cheap. 
In this pandemic situation , Its only the FAVOUR OF GOD , they HELIOS LABORATORIES were inspired and motivated to donate these medical , surgical , ointments and basic medicines worth Rs 1 lac .
♡ Thanks to SAMUEL MUNSHI from TJUK MUMBAI & some one who I know from 1998 , who put in a good word to HELIOS LABORATORIES. 
Infact JATIN bhai the man behind HELIOS LABORATORIES and myself were telephonically acquainted 8 years .
It was on a NEW YEARS DAY when one of their employees who speaks very less English was having some issues at Margao railway station. 
My services were requested just to boost his morale up and being New Years Day, my wife said it's okay to help some one in need. 
Issue got sorted out as there was a big language misunderstanding. 
Relationship was maintained. 
And this is how we were blessed to be sent Rs 1 lac worth of medical , surgical , ointments and basic medicines.
I always tell my volunteers and team members, do good without expecting anything because we are not social workers waiting to fight elections. 
We are AGAPE people .
Blessing have to chase you .
Running an NGO on that scale that we run requires constant in flow of resources and funds and blessings. 
I have to have that FAITH daily , that God is providing everything through you and through so many other people who read about our NGO.
Support us in any way you can 
Our Mission @ STREET PROVIDENCE is
ENDING HUNGER & HOMELESSNESS. 
Your support is what drives us everyday to do a little in what ever way we can.

☆ Porvorim .
Big thanks to all those involved in repacking the above quantity into smaller kits .
Most of these families are poor and below the poverty line .
Nutrition plays a very important role in their survival .
For us @ Street Providence it's not only about providing ration to the HIV Infected families but also rehabilitation. 
We run a FREE home for homeless HIV infected men as well as we assist In rehabilitation of homeless HIV woman through our associates. 
If there are any HIV children requiring rehabilitation we will surely help. 
Your support is very crucial to ease the :
▪︎Pain

▪︎Hunger 
▪︎Frustration 
     Of people / children/ families who are         suffering with HIV.
This is how you can help us to help them :

Most of us take care of of our families by trying to provide them with basic food clothing and shelter. 
But there are many HIV families who might just be struggling due to poverty for the basic necessities .
The approx cost for this 250 kits per month is about Rs 1.5 lacs to Rs 1.75 lacs if you buy the nutrition in bulk from the wholesaler. 
For us at the food bank it's always feeding the poor and needy.

RESCUED FROM STREETS RAJARAM CHODANKAR A GOAN HINDU MAN FROM COLVALE AGED 62 YEARS.

Updates
4.9.2020 4pm IST
STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA rescues from the streets , this GOAN MAN and provides shelter and medication so that he survives this COVID 19.
♡ Rajaram Chodankar is a GOAN HINDU MAN from colvale aged 62 years. 
I understand from him that he is unmarried and most of his family members are deceased or untraceable and his house at COLVALE has fallen down and he cant rebuild the same. 
Cataract in his 1 eye, so his vision is blurred and a complete broken spectacles with the glass missing from one spectacle frame and the handle which goes over his ears is broken. 
Wandering around he one day reached KHARASWAWADDO police outpost, Mapusa.
And 2 days prior to this , we had fogged the same outpost and that's how RAJARAM reached our home. 
Thanks to God , that the constable at the outpost @ KHARASWAWADDO remembered Street Providence and called Sapnesh. 
This is the reason Street Providence works closely with GOA POLICE.
The police are always in 1st contact with such homeless people .
If the police man / woman knows which rehabilitation home Is around to help such homeless people then PRAISE THE LORD.
Else that homeless person will just be ignored and might end up loitering here and there and finally be dead on the streets.
GOA Police @ Mapusa Police Station did all the necessary paper work ( inspite of the COVID & being stretched) and handed him door delivery to our home at Assnora.
We quarantined Rajaram for 14 days and he took good rest as he was tired , hungry, stressed , disappointed and was desperate for food, clothing, shelter, company .
We recently took him for a medical check up as well as replaced his SPECTACLES.
He requires an operation in his 1 eye and we require you incase you can to help us with the Bill's. 
A simple, down to earth man , Rajaram is a cook and he wishes to be occupied the whole day .
Most of the time , I also in the past and many of you too would just drive away such people. 
After all in a PANDEMIC situation no one would like to help another. 
But @ STREET PROVIDENCE it's not like that.
We are at times the last stop place for such people. 
We are trying to rehabihatate many more such homeless people but SPACE is the issue .
We have :
☆ Food 
☆ Clothes 
☆ Care givers 
☆ Vans 
☆ Good benefactors 
     Etc 
But No SPACE .
All houses are full.
If we do not pick up or attempt to rehabilitate, people complain to me and say ” you are only asking for donations but not helping the homeless “.
We are ready with 30 days from today to admitt 500 people more from the streets but give me the SPACE.
THE IRONY IS , WE ARE ALREADY IN A HOME WHICH CAN HOLD THESE 500 HOMELESS PEOPLE BUT WE ARE ASKED TO VACCATE WITHIN JUST 4 MONTHS OF ENTERING THIS HOME .
Very Close yet far .
500 lost souls can be looked after with free food shelter medicines. 
The EVIL ONE has got the owners of this home with their EGO being the main issue. 
Pray that the better sense prevails over the owners of this home as the PANDEMIC is going on and finding another home is not that easy. 
The words Humanity, Poverty , poor , homeless for me is only in the HOLY BOOKS .
Today Rajaram Chodankar lives and sleeps in peace knowing he now has Street Providence as his family to spend his remaining life .
Last few weeks , our medical expenses are hitting the roof as practically daily we are taking one homeless person or the other to the hospital and doctors. 
For those who are unaware, 99 % people in our homes are taken care off without any fees .
Free food clothing medication shelter. 
Support us in any way you wish .
We accept donations though cheque/ NEFT 
We offer 80 G exemptions on all your donations along with your pan card copy.

A GOAN WIDOW, MRS. PRABHAVATHI PILANKAR WHO WAS SICK N WEAK BUT NOW READY TO START AFRESH.

Updates
3.9.2020 6pm IST 
STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA presents you a Goan Widow, Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar who was really very very sick and weak but now ready to start afresh. 
On 26.8.2020 we had admitted this Goan Widow into a private hospital as most of her parameters were below normal due to hunger and malnutrition. 
Remember Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar and her son were staying in a home which almost fell down and they were in a pathetic state .
Picture of the home attached. 
Thanks to JMJ hospital Porvorim for admitting Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar into the hospital and treating her to an extent that she can now sit .
In this COVID 19 period , 
getting into a hospital is difficult, 
getting treated is FAVOUR OF GOD.
♡ Big thank you to Sr VALANKA, de facto incharge of JMJ hospital, who willingly said yes to my request on 26.8.2020.
♡ Thanks to Dr Rylind , Dr Meliisa and the nurses who attended to this goan lady. 
Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar was looked after in the hospital 24 hours for the last 9 days by a young homeless boy Mr ROHIN KHAN.
The worst part in looking after homeless sick people is hospital or hospitalization. 
You require some one along with the patient 24 *7 to report to the nurse all and any details while the patient is being treated especially when put on drips or when the patient is uncomfortable. 
The cost of such person varies from Rs 800 to Rs 1500 normally. 
Rohin Khan our care giver did the 9 days service without a complain .
Also thanks to Yash , ( Ruth son who actually helped them get out of that broken down home ) who stayed a few hours daily to relieve Rohin Khan so that he could go home have a bath and refresh himself. 
Overall it was all team work. 
Now the rehabilitation part .
Since Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar will take time to get her strength ( her son is taking psychiatric medication as he is totally shaken up ) we can't shift her to the flat , we requested Mrs Josephine from Amazing Grace to accommodate Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar .
Street Providence has employed a young goan nurse full time who will be attending to Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar at Amazing Grace as well as checking on the health of all our homeless street people in all our homes. 
Today Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar was admitted into Amazing Grace .
We are fortunate to be able to help 
Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar and her son to get a slightly better environment to live their lives .
Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar and her son should consider themselves blessed that they are well looked after .
There must be many more Goan Widows out there who we might have missed to help .
The main issue is SPACE.
If we get SPACE we can assure that no WIDOW in Goa will be left to fend for themselves on the streets of Goa .
Free food , clothing, shelter, medicine. 
All We require a big home so that all such homeless people can be looked after. 
Becomes very easy for doctor visits, nurse daily check ups , gets bonding going between a elders who may want the company of youngsters and creates bonding and parental guidance. 
The issue is, WE ARE ALREADY In such a home where 500 such homeless people can be looked after comfortably but we are being asked to leave. 
Imagine :
▪︎500 lost people being given a second         chance , 
▪︎500 homeless & sick treated under 1           roof,
▪︎100's during this pandemic being able         to live with dignity ,
▪︎100's of hungry being fed and cared           for 
So close, yet so far.
Humanity, Poverty , poor , homeless for me is only in the HOLY BOOKS .
Today it's all about the $$$$.
Anyway that's for another post another day .
Support us in any way you wish .
We accept donations though cheque/ NEFT 
We offer 80 G exemptions on all your donations along with your pan card copy.

A HOMELESS MAN Mr GANDHI WHO wa6s PICKED UP BY US ON 25.1.2020

Updates
29.8 2020 10am IST
STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA presents you today, another once upon a time, a homeless man 
Mr Gandhi who was picked up by us on 25.1.2020 but today living a perfect life .
Attached a picture when we picked him and cleaned him up .
Mr Gandhi is either from Bihar / jharkhand. 
He was brought to our notice by our benefactor Mr Vishnu Salgaonkar from Birla .
(Attached a video when we picked him up .)
Gandhi today is 100 % better & fine .
Civilised, hard working, co operative, humane , easy to live with .
Does all and every work assigned to him.
( Attached another video how he now works with us.)
Only issue is Gandhi does not talk much .
And of late since he is back to normal he wants to go back to the world. 
That's the issue with the homeless men.
Once they feel okay they want to run .
Not knowing where. 
Because once they leave our home , then we dont accept them back as it sets a bad precedent to reform and then go back and drink and fall on the streets and come back again for rehabilitation. 
The process is at times is too complicated and costly. 
Plenty of such men living on the streets of Goa who are losing their mind and health. 
COVID had made their economic condition pityful but due to shortage of space we just cant accept or rehabilitate more men .
We require that 1 big home / building to rehabilitate alot of homeless men still on the streets of Goa all under 1 roof. 
This big home / building If given to us can be used for rehabilitation as well as workshops to teach them small skills like carpentry, plumbing, wiring , etc .
Just rehabilitation is not enough. 
Skill and future survival is to be looked at also.
Support us in any way you wish .
We accept donations though cheque/ NEFT 
We offer 80 G exemptions on all your donations along with your pan card copy.

STREET PROVIDENCE BRINGS SMILES AND MOTIVATIONS BACK INTO THE LIFE OF BERNARD, A GOAN MAN.

Updates
28.8.2020 10am IST 
STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA brings smiles and motivation back into the life of Bernard , 
A Goan man .
A man in total depression and in the dark, now set free .
Late Nov 2019 , Bernard was admitted into our home in a very sad state.
He was in a total mess and blurred vision in both eyes due to cataract. 
A big nuisance in his village as he would just loitering in dirt and sleeping on the road or bus stops .
Very adamant man , highly stubborn and too violent .
He just could not control his toilet movements and would moan , groan , mutter , abuse , etc .
He basically I feel had lost his mind . 
It took us almost a month to realise that he was unable to see due to cataract. 
Bernard motivation level was very low .
He understood and believed that nothing good can come from him.
Too compound this belief of his , the care givers were getting stressed, bathing and cleaning him daily.
Infact we had to shift Bernard to a different home every 15 days so that the care givers would not get stressed & upset with him .
Thanks to a senior citizen from our Margao Food Bank , Mr Rubio who took Bernard many many times to Dr Ryan to check his eyes and be prepared for the operation. 
We managed to get 1 eye of Bernard operated FREE OF COST by Dr Ryan at Margao.
After a few weeks Bernard was at ease. 
He started responding to the care giver request to use the toilet and started having bath by himself. 
One thing I observed that which house Bernard stayed, he would listen to the CD being played and follow it .

♡ In All our homes the WORD / DEVOTIONAL SONGS / RETREATS are played 24 hours which is preached by BJ ♡
This 24 hours non stop Word of God is the best way to beat depression and sickness.
Today we present you :
▪︎1. A picture of Bernard when we                       admitted him into our home 9                       months ago.
▪︎2. A 5 minute video taken 3 days ago             in KONKANI which will explain his               current confidence level .
▪︎3. The same video where Bernard is               singing and tapping together an                  Alfred Rose song after 4 min of play            time.
We @ Street Providence are blessed to he doing this service to the homeless in Goa who are suffering from sickness of various kinds as well as in depression and this service is FREE OF COST .
We are totally stuck , as our homes are full and we cant accept any more men into our existing homes. 
Looking for a big home to house
min 50 men and max 500 men 
All under 1 roof .
Please pray that we are able to get this big home/ building so that hundreds of homeless suffering from poverty, depression, various sickness, etc can be looked after .
As a matter of fact we are already in a home which can house these 500 people but we are asked to vacate within 4 months of entering this home .
Prayers are required.
Support us in any way you wish .
We accept donations though cheque/ NEFT 
We offer 80 G exemptions on all your donations along with your pan card copy.

We have been feeding 50 families ( approx ) dry nutrition every month spanning close to 3 years.

And now is the time to achieve that dream .
The pandemic will have caused alot of hardships to the poorest of the poor and in this poor there are more than 250 hiv infected persons / family who are in need of help and nutrition In Goa .

We have collaborated with 3 other NGOs who are already working with these families for many years namely :
♡ Zindagi Goa , Mr Mahesh Govekar
♡ Presentation Society , Sr Deepti
♡ Udant , Anita Pereira
Attached is a picture of the above 3 representatives along with Sapnesh our overall incharge while handing over the ration to be repacked.

POOR, PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED, GOAN WIDOW GIVEN A BETTER ENVIRONMENT TO LIVE.

Poor, physically Challenged, Goan Widow given a better environment to live .
Must read , a bit long , but this is reality .
WISH YOU ALL MY HINDU BRETHREN 
A VERY HAPPY GANESH CHATURTHI 
Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar is Physically Challenged widow , from Anjuna and the picture of her house is attached. 
You saw the outside, now imagine the inside. 
Prabhavathi is born Polio & is physically challenged and is having an adult son who looks after her.
Listen to the 1 min video. 
Ruth Madeira e Pai , a lady from porvorim who works in the health Dept Panjim , and who is their benefactor vists this family in Anjuna on 19.8.2020.
Ruth was taken aback .
Mrs Prabhavathi and son were in an extremely terrible and pity state. 
Extremely weak , undernourished, no food, house fallen down, no electricity, dirt and filth inside the house. 
Pathetic.
Both of them were just lying down on the plain floor .
Now Ruth had gone there to hand over provisions for Ganesh Festival but was taken aback at their conditions. 
Immediately Ruth got 108 to take them to DISTRICT HOSPITAL MAPUSA and from there Ruth took them to HER house at porvorim. 
Now Ruth also celebrates GANESH CHATURTHI but yet RUTH & her family gave shelter to the mother & son .
♡ AMAZING FAMILY ♡
We were approached for REHABILITATION and YES we are going to accept and provide them a small FLAT @ porvorim where they can stay .
But at the moment today we admitted her into a good hospital ( not government as it's all full due to COVID ) as she needs to be stabilised and got back to normal life 
This is what we can do little, but atleast for some time till PRABHAVATHI recovers her strength and we are able to raise money to REBUILD their house at ANJUNA .
This is what help I require :
▪︎1. Looking for help in any ladies home where PRABHAVATHI can be admitted directly and tendered too, so that we dont need to put them in a flat. 
Son can stay with us in our mens home.
▪︎2. If I don't get a ladies home , then looking for a DOCTOR/ NURSE who can visit PRABHAVATHI in porvorim FLAT daily to follow up , and get her back to her feet. 
▪︎3. Any one willing to support and take care of their bills, nutrition, medications , especially the rent of the flat as we finish our flat agreement in Nov 2020.
▪︎4. With this pandemic, it's not going to be possible for them to go back to their home as it's broken but we surely can rebuild their house .
▪︎5. A counselor who can help them .
▪︎6. Any lady who can stay with 
Mrs Prabhavathi Pilankar in the hospital in porvorim and it's going to take a good no of days, I feel to get her discharged.
This is just 1 case which I can help as her son is with her 
There are about 15 + cases like this and yet I cant do much .
I am requesting you all to PRAY to GOD for STREET PROVIDENCE, so we get to house under one roof all such human being approx 500 people .
We require 1 big home to look after both men & women who are : 
☆ Widows 
☆ Old & Infirmed
☆ Physically challenged 
☆ Bed ridden
☆ Lonely & depressed 
☆ Alcoholic & substance abuse 
☆ Mentally challenged 
☆ Blind, deaf , dumb 
☆ Homeless & destitutes.
But please pray for this home to materialize and that so many of the poor can get a place to stay, bath , food , medical attention and live peacefully especially during this pandemic which may last another good 9 months on the higher side. 
Running so many small homes is very tiring and logistics is expensive. 
But I am doing the best i can with the little resources I have.
We are not owning any homes and are not interested in owning any homes in our trust name . 
All our homes are rented on 11 months lease .
We are only looking for 1 big home / building on cheap rent or free so that we can provide rehabilitation to the poorest of the poor .
Support us @ Street Providence in any way you can .
Be another Ruth Madeira e Pai by going out of your way and helping just 1 person .
