My best friend Ambikesh (40 years old) suddenly collapsed due to cardiac arrest and unfortunately passed away within a few minutes on 23rd Dec 2022(Friday evening on Christmas weekend). My friend was a healthy person with no pre-existing medical conditions. Since his family wanted to take his remains to India to cremate per Hindu religious rituals, we worked closely with funeral homes in Tampa Bay and New Jersey to get the necessary documents(Death certificate, Cremation permit, Non-contagious disease certificate, embalmer’s affidavit, etc) but the case was moving very slow and everyone in the family here in states and India was getting nervous that due to upcoming new year long weekend, it would further delay the case.
We reached out to the Indian embassy to know if the embassy’s approval can be expedited once the documents are ready, embassy connected us with Mohan ji and Srinivas ji from TeamAid on 29th December. As soon as TEAM Aid got involved they guided us thru the complete process end to end, helped us throughout each step of the remaining process and we got it done within two days which was expected to take another week per funeral home. With TeamAid’s assistance, we have been able to send our friend’s remains to India within time. I would like to Thank TeamAid team for the support and guidance. expected to take another week per funeral home. With TeamAid’s assistance, we have been able to send our friend’s remains to India within time. I would like to Thank the TEAM Aid team for the support and guidance.

When our beloved friend Deepak suddenly passed away at the age of 40 from Cardiac arrest, TEAM Aid helped us from day one, guiding us to options we have for the next procedure from choosing the funeral home to step by step next steps in this foreign land.
The funeral home suggested by TEAM Aid was a beautiful place, clean calm, and serene and they helped us with the process very professionally. So thankful to the TEAM Aid volunteers for their support to Deepak’s family and his friends during this period.
Thank you

It was on 29th December 2022 that we were informed of the unfortunate news of the demise of our loved one. Since none of our family or friends reside in the states we had the feeling of utter helplessness and had no clue about the procedure to bring our loved one back home. The Consulate General of India in New York provided us Mr. Mohan Nannapaneni’s contact information and he offered us help in times of grief. TEAM Aid ensured that there was no procedural delay and coordinated with us day and night. We extend heartfelt gratitude to all the members and wholeheartedly appreciate the support you provide to people in such dire situations. God Bless you all.

When my father-in-law passed away while visiting us, we had no idea what is next. Through my friend, I got introduced to Mohan and he was very helpful. He shared the next steps and what to expect in terms of cost too. He also gave the exact terms to use in funeral home to avoid getting over billed. All his instructions helped me to talk knowledgeably and handle the whole process with confidence. TEAM Aid team was available whenever I had any questions. What they are doing is such a good deed to help anyone unconditionally. Thank you Team Aid team. You guys are just awesome!

When this untoward incident happened, my daughter-in-law and granddaughter were all alone n we were at a loss to come to terms with the situation. This is when Team Aid came to our rescue and helped in repatriating the mortal remains of my son, taking care of the tedious process of documentation with various Agencies such as the Hospital concerned, medical certification, embalming, Indian Consulate, liaising with the Airlines etc. Their support was immense n we appreciate their selfless motive. Mr. Mohan, especially, was very approachable without any time parameters. We sincerely thank them from the core of our hearts. May their selfless service continue in their endeavor to Being Human.

My uncle had a massive brain stroke on 1/29/2022 and since then he is hospitalized with 100% paralyzed. Struggled his life for 10 months in many Massachusetts hospitals and nursing homes. He passed away on 10/25/2022 from a heart attack. My uncle has told me years back if anything happens to him, he wanted to have his final rights to be conducted in India besides where his mother was cremated in his native village, Parvathagiri (Warangal District, Telangana Statet).
I knew Mr. Mohan Nannapaneni name as he very popular in Indian community with many of his social activities over the years, I did reach out to him for his guidance and support to fulfill my uncle’s last wish take his mortal remains back to India. Mr. Nannapaneni and his entire TEAM Aid volunteers spent several days in coordination with the Rehabilitation center, Doctors, Funeral Home, Marlborough Town, Indian Consulate, New York, Emirates Airlines (Boston POC & Hyderabad POC), India port of entry activities, and until we each our remote village which is 400 Kilometers from Hyderabad.
We are very thankful to Mr. Mohan Nannapaneni and his entire team for restless follow-ups (Day & Night) to make sure we have smooth process and not to get stuck in any point of time in this whole process starting from United States until we reach India. Past 16 years of my US career, I heard many times about Team AID & Mohan Nannapaneni’s s social activities, this time I witnessed personally, and Hats off to Team Aid and Mr. Mohan Nannapaneni for their commitment and determination to help others.
Once again, Thank you Team Aid and Mohan for all your support and help. All our family blessings are to you and your family members.
Best Regards
Naven Kumar Sankineni.
