Here are some of the latest incidents TEAM Aid volunteer coordinators have provided assistance for.
February 25, 2022 –
Kapurthala,
Punjab,
India
My brother-in-law (38-year-old, Mr. B. Singh) aged 38 died on 25 February 2022. The financial conditions of the family are too weak to afford the price of transporting the dead body to India. There is no source of income in the family as the parents are too old (75+), the children are just under 10 and the wife is only a homemaker. We request your kind support to transport the mortal remains back to his family in Amritsar, India. TEAM Aid made all logistical arrangements and the Indian Consulate paid for repatriation.Â

Orlando,
Florida,
USA
My friend K.G was killed in an automobile accident on Dec 31st. He was released to a funeral home a few days later. As per his will, he wished to be taken to India for his last rites, as he has no immediate family in the US. We had a viewing ceremony for him on January 11th for his friends and colleagues here in Orlando so that we all could say a final goodbye to him. Since then we along with the funeral home director were trying to send his remains to India, all the paperwork was delayed but done eventually. We got the clearance from the consulate, still, there was so much delay in finding the flights. The family in India is devastated and so frustrated with the entire process. Despite our best efforts, it took almost a month until we contacted the team aide representative in Orlando. They have been extremely helpful, responsive, very prompt, and proactive. KG will be reaching India tomorrow.
