Do you need help whilst abroad?

We are here to provide support and hope for people in dire need of help.

Team Aid is the only organization in the world exclusively incorporated to assist people in crisis-situations whilst traveling or living abroad.

We strive to be the main point of contact for family and friends who are experiencing issues such as trauma, loss of a loved one, or grief in a foreign country, far from home. We are a 501©(3), non-profit organization with an extensive social network. See our Mission Statement. At Team Aid, we help individuals, just like you, cope with life-altering situations such as disasters, accidents, and deaths by working with the community, embassies, funeral homes, and airlines. If you are in the need of assistance reach out to your local Team Aid coordinator. Get help now.

Our Volunteers Can Help

Team Aid volunteer coordinators are here to help affected people and families when they have no one else on their side or are unable to communicate with family members. Our primary objective is to bridge the distance between your present location and your home. Team Aid volunteers are always ready to help in most emergency situations. We work as a team to provide the resources required for mitigating crisis situations.

It is nearly impossible for Team Aid coordinators to meet family members or affected individuals, in most situations, but that does not hinder their ability to provide emotional and practical support with the help of our partners.
If you are interested in volunteering your time or becoming a local coordinator, we welcome you into our network. Sign up today to receive more information.

Help When You Need It

In this global economy, more and more people are moving far from home in search of education and employment opportunities, a safer environment, different experiences, and, ultimately, a better life. With that increase of migrants and travelers the number of people requiring help during times of crisis increases.

Oftentimes, when tragedy strikes, people find themselves alone and their families are unprepared to help them in a foreign country. The lack of emotional and practical support only worsens an already terrible situation. This often contributes to further mental trauma and stress.

Team Aid’s vast network of local coordinators is always available to provide emotional support and a helping hand. As a nonprofit, we depend on our amazing Team Aid volunteers and funds from the public and business donors. If you feel inclined to do so, make your monetary contribution today.

People living abroad do not know whom to approach when they are in dire need of help. TEAM Aid is one large family of volunteers across the globe, and we try our best in helping you cope up with your crisis in a foreign land.

TEAM Aid was very helpful in guiding me through the very difficult process of sending my former husband’s ashes to his home country of India. They also helped us to work with the Indian Embassy to manage the cost of the cremation. Everyone was very responsive and professional, as well as kind and compassionate in our time of need. – Brenda S

On behalf of Amanpreet Singh’s family and the entire Barara Village, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to TEAM Aid. I was informed about Amanpreet’s sudden death on 9/17 in NYC. He was only 21 years old and recently came to the USA two months back. His father is financially struggling and was in utter shock with the news of his son’s demise. His parents were repeatedly asking me only one thing. “Please send our son back so we can see him and respectfully perform his final rites.” I was so lost and emotionally drained. I had no hope, help, or guidance. I called the Indian Embassy on 9/18/2022 and I was immediately connected to Mr. Mohan from TEAM Aid. I still remember my phone call with Mr. Mohan, his demeanor was so comforting and reassuring once I explained my concerns and Aman’s family’s situation to him. I couldn’t believe someone who has no connection with the family and had compassion for strangers in a vulnerable situation is ready to take charge of the whole situation. Indian Embassy paid the expenses and TEAM aid took care of everything else. Mr. Mohan and Mr. Raj Punjabi kept us updated on every step. Within 5 days Amanpreets’s family was able to perform his funeral in India. This whole experience was very motivating for me. I wish I could find enough words to express my appreciation for the kind support. I really appreciate the selfless efforts of Mohan, Raj, their organization TEAM Aid, and the Indian Embassy of New York. I have learned a lot from this Experience. I hope to work with TEAM Aid with the same sincerity and commitment in the near future. — Shirmeej Singh

At times a moment arises when everything you are and everything you know is upside down- “A situation we don’t know what to do! You are frozen, unlike an accident”. The help and guidance you receive at these times is utmost important. The support and information we received from Krishnan regarding the procedures and the way everything was taken care smoothly was most valuable. The service Teamaid provides is very helpful to people in times. Thank you for helping us. Sincerely —Ravi s/o Laxmaiah

Mr. Mohan Nannapaneni from Team Aid was recommended to us by one of our close family friends in Seattle & close relative of my aunt in India. My nephew died unexpectedly in the Boston area. My nephew’s parents are in India, and I was one of the family members notified. We had to quickly take action to ensure his safe return to India. Mohan arrived on the scene and provided much-needed emotional support as well as exceptional guidance on the next steps. The complicated process to get my nephew to India included coordinating with the hospital, local authorities, the Chief of Medical Examiner office, Funeral homes in Boston & New York, the Indian embassy, Airport authorities, and the family back in India. Mohan’s expertise and empathic approach to the situation enabled us to safely return my deceased nephew to India in a timely fashion. Our family will be forever grateful for his and Team Aid’s assistance during an incredibly challenging time. THANK YOU SO MUCH Mohan for your guidance, follow-ups & support to make this process simple and quick for our family, appreciated. — Venkat Lingam

Sometimes we meet people who do an unforgettable favor to us, and we owe them a lifetime for what they’ve done. The above words describe my acquaintance with Mr. Nannapaneni Mohan. While my family was mourning the death of my cousin in the US, I was totally clueless about the proceedings. That’s when I got to know about a foundation called Team Aid, founded by Nannapaneni Mohan. Staying geographically apart and losing a person on the other side of the world is a tragedy that puts a big question mark on the family, whether they can see their loved one for one last time or not. We were facing the same situation, but Mohan and his team lent their helping hand and assured me that my cousin’s body would reach India in earliest as possible. They took care of all medical procedures, packing the body safely, and all other embassy-related procedures. Yesterday, we’ve bid a final goodbye to my cousin in India, and without Nannapaneni Mohan Garu and TEAM Aid’s help. It wouldn’t have been possible. TEAM Aid has a great vision, the team is committed to its goals. I wish them all the best and god stands by them to be the strength of the vulnerable families in their tough times. — Pradeep Chilukuri

I was reaching out to local funeral homes to understand the process of repatriation, which is when a friend introduced me to TEAM Aid – Mohan Nannapaneni. On the very first conversation with him, I was relieved to know that he will support me throughout the process, which he did till my dad’s body was received by my family back home. Besides the invaluable guidance, he helped expedite a critical process at the embassy through his connections and also helped get cargo reserved through his connections at airlines (which otherwise had at least a week wait-list). I am and will be forever, THANKFUL to Mohan Nannapaneni & TEAM Aid. — Leel Bahadur

Mr. Mohan and his team handled the situation very efficiently and provided every assistance to us finally, we were able to take my brother’s body to his home to his parents for his last rituals. I have no words to convey my gratitude to the team. They proved to be an angel for us at such a devastating time in our lives. Thanks a million!!! God bless you!!!! — Gurpreet Singh

Mr. Mohan Nannapaneni helped the family a lot and had a minute-to-minute update and made great efforts to follow up and make the arrangements to send the remains to the deceased’s family in India. Without him and TEAM Aid, it would have been tough to even think what or how or who to approach with a whole complicated process. The family of the Deceased person got to see him one last time. That was priceless and a million thanks to Mr. Mohan Nanapaneni, Team Aid for all the good deeds and volunteer work. God Bless You. –Raj G

Dallas,

One of our friends in Dallas passed away on 10th June. He was suffering from Cancer. His wife had arrived from India only a day before. She knew only one friend in Dallas. He passed away early in the morning at 2 am and Immediately his wife started to call funeral homes and most of them asked for a heavy price of 10,000-12,000 dollars. I am in Chicago and found myself stuck and literally did not know what to do. Then I started calling my friends if somebody could suggest anything. Then one of my friends gave me Mohan’s phone number. I called Mohan at 7 am and left a message. Within a few minutes he called back and things started to move at a very fast pace. By 9 am their volunteer from Dallas called and he had already figured out a Funeral home that was charging less than 2000 dollars, was very close to the place where they were living and they also connected them to a priest from a Hindu temple who conducted all the ceremonies. Mohan and their team were very nice and Sympathetic and helpful to me and to the wife of the deceased. I do not have any words to express my gratitude for Mohan and their team. They are doing selfless service of a high level. I am highly impressed by their promptness and efficiency to do the seva. Despite on a busy job, TEAM Aid’s Dallas coordinator, LK helped us. This is an example that in spite of being very busy we can all take out time to help others if we really want to. — Vandana Gupta

My brother-in-law suddenly passed away in Boston. We in India were lost and didn’t know what to do or whom to speak to. And then we were introduced to Mohan and his team and things started to fall in place. These guys are like angels except for a few forms, everything else was taken care of by them. Every update was shared by them and we had the remains in a few days. I and my entire family will remain indebted to TEAM Aid forever. God Bless you people. Humanity still exists in the world; this belief gets retreated. — Ankur Agarwal

Seattle,

My son Tanmay passed away on 4th June 2022. He was just 24. He was working in Seattle just after his MS, only a few months completed in his job. When this shocking news reached me in India on the 4th of June, I was devastated and so is my family in India. We rushed to the USA, however, we hardly knew anyone in Seattle and hadn’t faced such a situation before. My relatives in the USA got in touch with Mohan, Hema, and the TEAM Aid team who then guided us through the entire process. After reaching the US, we completed the statutory process and the funeral as per Hindu rituals. TEAM Aid’s team has the right contacts and volunteers all over the US and they assisted in completing the statutory process and the funeral. Our grief was inconsolable, and, in such situation, we were helped and supported by the TEAM Aid team. I appreciate and thank the entire team of TEAM Aid from bottom of my heart and my best wishes will be always with them. — Vinayak Gatle
