It was an ordinary day, with no clue of what was coming. My parents were visiting me in the USA — their second trip to see me — and the time had come for their journey back home to India. I was driving them to SFO airport, my father beside me in the front passenger seat, my mother in the back.
That is when the harshest, most unexpected tragedy struck. My father leaned forward and spoke his last words to me: “Tejas, something is happening to me.” He suffered a severe cardiac arrest right there in the car. Neither of my parents had any medical history — no diabetes, no hypertension, nothing heart-related — which made it all the more shocking and impossible to comprehend. After CPR, a 911 call, and nearly one hour and forty minutes of treatment in the Kaiser emergency room, he was declared gone. And in that moment, the world stopped for my mother and me.
When I could finally begin to grasp what was happening, I knew one thing with certainty: I had to take my father’s mortal remains home, to our village in India. I was given some basic directions, a few brochures, and some general verbal information — and I felt completely lost beneath the weight of all the procedures and protocols.
That is where Team Aid and Mohan Sir stood like a firm, steady lighthouse — offering guidance, direction, support, and reassurance through the most difficult time of my life. They were available 24×7, responding to every message, answering every call, making sure each step moved forward within the time it needed — all while ensuring that our grieving family was spared any added suffering. Mohan Sir helped us with his full might, and without a single condition. He coordinated with the funeral home, the Indian Consulate, and kept us updated from San Mateo County at every turn.
Through it all, Mohan Sir remained composed, transparent, and deeply kind — every reply, every call, every message carried accurate information and a calm, steadying presence. It is because of people like Mohan Sir, and organizations like Team Aid, that my faith in humanity, in kindness, and in the goodness of people has been restored and kept alive.
I have taken some time to write this, because I am still learning to accept that I have lost my father. His wish was to go back home to India — and Team Aid and Mohan Sir helped me fulfil that wish for him. For that, I will be forever grateful.
I can never forget the support, kindness, perfect guidance, and professionalism that Team Aid and Mohan Sir showed my family and me. Even though it brings back the memory of our tragedy, remembering Team Aid is like remembering that one ray of light and hope that is still there for you when everything else has gone dark.
Thank you, Mohan Sir, and to Team Aid and your entire staff, for helping and supporting us through our hardest days. I do not know how I will ever repay the kindness you have shown us. You have taught me that it takes only dedication and a firm resolve to be kind to someone in their moment of greatest need.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Mohan Sir.

I would like to sincerely thank Mohan ji and his entire team for the incredible help and support they provided during a very difficult time for our family.
Mohan ji and his team made the entire process of sending Amar’s body to India feel remarkably smooth and manageable. From handling the paperwork and coordinating with the funeral home to arranging the visitation and organizing Amar’s final journey to India, they took care of every detail with compassion and professionalism.
For a grieving family who is unfamiliar with this process, knowing that someone experienced is there to guide and support you makes an enormous difference. Mohan ji and his team were truly there for us when we needed them most.
Thank you, Mohan ji, and the entire team, for everything you do for families during such difficult moments. Your service is invaluable, and we truly appreciate your kindness, compassion, and dedication.
With heartfelt gratitude,

It’s people like Mohan ji and organisations like Team Aid who are the reason for people to have faith in humanity. Very few people are there during times of sorrow. They are the real heroes. Team Aid and Mohan ji are one of them. God bless them all.

Heard about team aid thru a friend a few months ago. When my dad got severely sick and I wanted to be prepared for the worst day of my life, I contacted Mr Mohan. Whenever I called/ messaged him, he responded to my questions and concerns right away. He assured me that I won’t be alone at my difficult times. He gave me the directions for what to do to take my dad to India as his final wish. And we were able to take dad in India in less than 2 weeks.
Thank you so much Chetta for all the support you are giving for the community. May God bless you and your family.

I would like to sincerely express my deepest gratitude to especially Mohan and TEAM Aid for the incredible support they provided during one of the most difficult and painful times for our family.
We are still trying to come to terms with the irreversible loss of my father, and getting his mortal remains back to India was extremely important and time-sensitive for our family. At a time when we were emotionally devastated and simply not in a position to navigate the complex procedures ourselves, Mohan stepped in and guided us through the entire process with tremendous care, patience, and professionalism.
Mohan was always prompt in responding to our questions and concerns and made every effort to ensure that the process of transferring my father’s remains from the US to India was handled smoothly and without unnecessary complications. His transparency, realistic guidance, and constant communication gave us much-needed reassurance during an incredibly difficult period.
Words cannot adequately express how grateful we are for Mohan’s support. His help went far beyond simply assisting with a process — he provided genuine compassion and support when our family needed it the most.
A heartfelt thank you to Mohan and the entire Team Aid for being there for us during such a heartbreaking time. We will always remember and appreciate your kindness, professionalism, and support.

Tragedy struck our family on September 11th , 2026 – 9pm when my mother N. Santha kumari suddenly passed away due to Heart failure, the same person who walked into the hospital by herself with no support was returned to us as a human remain. Our family was in shock which words cannot express, I had responsibilities to send her to India where my older siblings are equally devastated and waiting to see her one last time but what is the process , how long this is going to take everything was a question mark to us , but when we became aware of “Team aid” the next day with help of local community group, Team aid Mohan and team pitched in to guide us through this huge list of process , held us and guided and helped to complete many processes very quickly. They helped us get Indian embassy clearance very quickly, They also helped in expediting the travel arrangements. Mother reached India in 7 days and family was able to perform their last rites with gratitude. My family is very thankful for this timely and unforgettable help .
