India is a fast-growing country. It is growing fast in its economic stature. A lot of people want to earn money and settle quickly. But in the process, we as humans are missing out on the basics such as taking care of our elderly and giving care to ageing parents. It is sad to state that most of children nowadays are abandoning their elderly and ailing parents on the streets when the responsibility to take care of them becomes a burden.Homelessness is a major issue in India even today. Close to 18 million elderly in India are homeless. These are people who have been forced to live on the streets because their own families have abandoned them. At a time, when they need utmost love and attention, they’re left to fend for themselves. Hungry and tired, these people can’t even afford to take a bath or wear clean clothes. Maggots crawl over their bodies as these unfortunate souls embrace their death on the streets. It is safe to say that these abandoned people are the MOST IGNORED PART OF SOCIETY and the number is only increasing. 
 Second Chance Foundation aims to provide another chance at life for the needy, a life steeped in dignity and love by rescuing such people from the streets and providing them with services from LIFE to DEATH.At the Second Chance home, all their food, living, and medical needs are taken care of, and they are served with love and care by the people (a 30-member team) working there. Today, SCF has three such homes in Hyderabad for the abandoned and needy. With SCF’s care and love, hundreds of helpless souls get a new life in these homes.With that spirit, we aim to salvage the abandoned who are in distress, dying and destitute, homeless, terminally ill or mentally unsound and seemingly forgotten with no trace of family or support to call their own. To work unceasingly to rehabilitate them and transform them into functional members of society. Using the tools available at our disposal, our endeavour is to ensure we provide them physically with medical aid, nutritious food, clothing, and shelter and emotionally with abundant love and care irrespective of their caste, creed, gender, religion or race. Our mission is to provide them with an opportunity to live a meaningful and dignified life, in good health and happiness. In the same breath, we advocate and try to spread awareness against abandoning loved ones and promote a message of Love and Peace throughout the world.  
 Second Chance Foundation is presently running 3 shelter homes and we have rescued more than 1500+ people to date from the streets of Hyderabad. Presently we have around 150 people staying with us across 3 centres in Hyderabad. Every day the foundation makes sure that the 150 elders get their timely meals, medical help and emotional support. We also get a number of calls on a regular basis every day stating that there are more and more people who need to be rescued off the streets. Second Chance Foundation is already making an impact in the lives of 150 people and wants to reach out to more people who are abandoned and seeking help. With the help of this fundraiser, we can reach out to more abandoned people by expanding our services to many more places and making India a Destitute free country.

Fundraiser for Destitute Homes and Hospital

As an NGO registered under the Indian Trust Act, Second Chance Foundation strives to work hand in hand with the government to provide aid and welfare for the elderly abandoned as well as the terminally ill destitute living on the fringes of society such as on the roads, in hospitals, bus stops, railway stations etc. We achieve this by facilitating their rescue, rehabilitating them to their former selves and subsequently integrating them into our shelter homes established across the city. Second Chance Foundation became operational in the year 2020 and is the brainchild of our founder Jasper Paul. At the time, in his early twenties, after a life-altering event which almost cost him his life and was saved miraculously by the Grace of God was brought to despair looking at the destitute who were abandoned by their families for a myriad of reasons and were left for dead on the streets of Hyderabad and all around Telangana. He was firm in his resolve to bring about a change, to the best of his abilities and got to work immediately. He was joined by his wife Therisa, who was inspired by all the work that had been done to aid the people in need. Together the two of them have dedicated their lives towards the service of the downtrodden and needy. Here at the Second Chance Foundation, we rescue the disadvantaged and nurture them with the best possible medical care, ample shelter, and nourishing food, alongside any psychological and psychiatric help that they may require in order to sustain them in their new lease at life. We work indiscriminately with those who are sick, dying, terminally ill as well as the mentally unsound irrespective of Caste, Creed, Religion and Race. They stay with us, as our family, through the course of their lives until their final breath. Consequently, to uphold the spirit of human dignity, we also take care of the last rites of the people who have passed away at out centres. We wholeheartedly believe that there is no greater calling than serving the ones who have nothing to give back and we accomplish all of this with the help of a LOVING GOD who watches over and helps each and every one of us.

Second chance impact report

🌟 The Give team recently had the privilege of visiting Second Chance Foundation to witness the impact of your generous contributions. Your support has truly made a remarkable difference, and we're thrilled to share some heartwarming insights from the visit. 🙌😊 Field Visit Date: 19/12/2023Field Visit by: Sai Saranya, Senior Associate, Online Giving Delivery Team - Give Visit Summary:We visited Second Chance Foundation's shelter homes and hospital in Secunderabad, Telangana. Our day began by meeting Mr. Jasper Paul, the founder, at the Second Chance Mission Hospital. He provided a comprehensive overview of their operations, which involve rescuing, rehabilitating, treating, and reuniting destitutes with their families, occasionally overseeing final rites for those in need. These beneficiaries often endure trauma, mental illness, addiction, and abuse. Following our discussion with Jasper, we visited the three shelter homes at Yapral, Narepally, and Cherlapally—where over 170 destitutes reside. Each home is staffed by six dedicated caretakers who ensure the inmates receive food, therapy, and necessary medication. The program manager oversees movement of inmates between homes and the overall monitoring of the homes. The stock registers and details of inmates are maintained at the respective homes.  During our visit, we interacted with the beneficiaries who expressed contentment with the care they receive, with many expressing their desire to reunite with family. Many are undergoing treatment for mental illness as they exhibit signs of aggression and instability. We also spoke with the caregivers who explained their duties, such as changing diapers, giving baths, administering medication, cooking, and conducting exercises for the inmates. They diligently update daily activities through WhatsApp groups. 🌟🙏Your support sustains Second Chance's vital work at these shelter homes. Donate now to contribute to a life of dignity and happiness to the destitutes🏡🌟
