I want to take a moment to express my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped us bring my brother Manianna back home to India.
TeamAid was not just an organization that helped us bring Manianna home — they became a part of our healing process.
Throughout one of the most painful and difficult journeys our family has ever experienced, Mohan and Lalitha akka were always there for us. Every time I had a question or a doubt, they patiently explained everything with a smile, kindness, and genuine care. Even when I was overwhelmed, emotional, harsh, or asked questions that may have sounded silly, they never lost their patience. They remained calm, compassionate, and understanding every single time.
Mohan and Lalitha akka, I honestly don’t know how we would have gone through this journey without you. Your support made an incredibly painful process a little easier to bear. You didn’t just guide us through the practical details — you gave us comfort when we desperately needed it. For that, I will always be grateful. 🙏❤️
My heartfelt thanks also goes to all the TeamAid volunteers behind the scenes who played a part in Manianna’s journey home. Many people may not know all of your names or everything you did, but please know that your efforts mattered deeply to our family. Every phone call, every coordination, and every small act of help contributed to bringing Manianna back to us.
A very special thank you to Grimmson Chapel for taking such wonderful care of Manianna. Thank you for keeping him safe, treating him with dignity and respect, and dressing him so beautifully. When we finally saw him, he looked peaceful, almost as though he was simply resting. That image will stay with us forever, and we are deeply grateful for the care and compassion you showed him. 🙏
I would also like to sincerely thank AKumar Funeral Services for your quick response and for being there when our family needed assistance. During such a difficult and emotional time, having people respond quickly and professionally meant so much to us.
To Mohan, Lalitha akka, every TeamAid volunteer, Grimmson Chapel, AKumar Funeral Services, my friends, and my family — thank you from the deepest part of my heart.
You all played a part not only in bringing Manianna home, but also in helping our family begin to heal.
We may never be able to fully repay your kindness, but we will carry your love and support in our hearts forever. God bless each and every one of you. ❤️🙏

To the entire Team Aid family,
We honestly don’t know how to put our gratitude into words.
Losing our Dad has been one of the most painful things our family has ever gone through. When he passed away in San Francisco, apart from the unbearable grief, there was also this fear and helplessness about how we were going to bring him back home to India.
You took care of everything and brought our Dad back to India in such a short time. We know there must have been so many things to coordinate and so many formalities involved, but for us, all we could see was that somehow, our Dad was coming home.
And the most precious thing you gave us was the chance to see our Dad one last time.
To be able to see him, be with him, say goodbye to him and perform his last rites here, surrounded by his family and the people who loved him that means more to us than we can ever explain.
In those difficult days, we were completely lost and emotionally broken. We didn’t know what to do or where to begin. But you handled everything so quickly and stood by us through the process. You made an incredibly painful situation a little easier for our family.
What you did for us was not just bringing mortal remains from one country to another. You brought our Dad back home to us. You gave us one last opportunity to be with him, and that is something we will carry in our hearts forever.
We will never forget the kindness, understanding and support you showed us during the most difficult time of our lives.
A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to every single person at Team Aid who was involved in bringing our Dad home. ❤️
We are truly grateful for everything you did, especially for how quickly you made it happen when we needed it the most.
Thank you for helping us bring Dad home.
Thank you for giving us the chance to see him one last time.
And thank you for being there for our family when we needed it the most.
We will always remember this kindness. 🙏❤️

My name is Bungatavula Haneesh, and I lost my brother, Dileep Kumar Bungatavula, in a fatal car accident in Kent, Ohio. This was an extremely devastating and difficult time for our entire family.
As soon as my relatives in USA reached out to Mohan Garu, he immediately took initiative and proactively coordinated everything. He guided us through the entire process and made what could have been an extremely difficult and overwhelming situation much more manageable for our family.
Mohan Garu stayed in constant communication with us and proactively coordinated with the Consulate General of India, New York, and other parties involved in the process. He helped us with the necessary documentation, formalities, and arrangements for bringing my brother back to India. Their support continued even after his arrival in India, including assistance at the airport and throughout the arrangements to bring him safely to our hometown.
During a time when our family was completely shattered and struggling to understand what to do next, Mohan Garu stood by us, guided us at every step, and made sure we were not left alone to handle everything by ourselves. His compassion, responsiveness, and willingness to help meant more to our family than I can express in words.
I sincerely and wholeheartedly thank Mohan Garu and the entire TeamAid team for their incredible support, kindness, and assistance during one of the most difficult times in our lives. We will always be grateful for everything they did for our family.

A visiting relative suddenly got a stroke and passed away while on a trip to Seattle. We were completely lost between grief and the logistics needed to perform the lost rites. I contacted Team Aid and Mohan ji guided us through the process, patiently answering our questions (which was very late night for him). He was extremely responsive (within minutes) connecting us to the right people to make all the arrangements. Without his help, we would not have been able to send off the departed soul with the traditions in our culture. We are all very grateful to Team Aid and all the volunteers for helping us during this difficult time. God bless you all.

My mom passed away on July 18 at my residence after a shower and I was in distress. I didn’t know what to do. I interested everything to funeral home and I thought they are taking care of it. My mom had a desire that she wanted to go back to India, and to be buried along the side of my father. I wanted to fulfill her last wish but had no clue until I met my first cousin Charles Praveen who came from Pennsylvania to pay the last viewing of my mother that’s in where he enter Contacted Mohan Sir and worked within 2 to 3 days. Everything went smoothly making my mom to reach safely to India. He helped me in always, including getting the certificates getting the flight tickets for cheaper and also arrangements back in India. I really think and praise God for their ministry how the team worked in helper in this case.
