My wife Professor, Dr. Anita Saxena had gone to Orlando, USA to attend an international conference on the 3rd of November 2022. She unexpectedly & unfortunately passed away on November 6th, 2022 in Orlando. She had traveled alone to the USA and we were informed about her death in India We were at loss as to how to get her mortal remains back to India. The Indian Consulate in Atlanta was extremely helpful & cooperative and suggested that we get in touch with “TEAM Aid” who would do the needful and get the formalities completed for the repatriation of her mortal remains. Mr. Mohan got in touch with us and was most reassuring and informed us about the various formalities that would have to be completed.
Mr. Sreenivas who is based in Florida personally went to the morgue and hotel to expedite the return. Unfortunately, a hurricane had hit Florida but in spite of the inclement weather, Mr. Sreenivas put his own life in danger to get the work done at the earliest. After the weather improved the mortal remains were sent to New York and Mr. Mohan kept a 24-hour vigil to get the formalities completed at the Indian consulate in New York on a Saturday and get the coffin booked on the Air India flight for transportation to India.
It was only because of the untiring and continued efforts of the members of Team Aid, Indian consulate officials, Funeral Home services, Air India, TATA AIG, Europe Assist, and Indian Customs that the mortal remains of my wife could come back to India.
I was very surprised to learn from Mr. Mohan that the entire TEAM Aid members were working as volunteers for performing this noble service.
I and my entire family bow our heads to the entire Team Aid team for their enormous help and compassion. They were very considerate and reassuring, and their ability to solve all problems with complete efficiency and in the shortest possible time is exemplary. They are true saviors and heroes who go out of their way to help strangers like me and my family in our moments of great distress.
I and my family remain indebted to Team Aid for our entire lives. I wish TEAM Aid the very best and pray to the lord to give them greater strength to continue their noble work for humanity.
May God bless them all.
