Anyone from Columbia, Missouri or surrounds. Please step up, the lady has never been to USA and will need help for 3 to 4 days.

Need to bump the thread up to keep it up for 3 to 4 days.

Anyone who knows an Indian community member (student of Univ. of Missouri, Columbia or local temple priest/staff or any other Indian-origin central Missouri resident) who is willing to provide on-ground support (only with paperwork, no financial help needed)? Please come forward and help urgently!

The lady is leaving tonight so we want to provide contact details of a local liaison in or around Columbia, MO area.

Tweet to Sushma Swaraj. I did once for someone needing urgent help in Saudi Arabia, and within 24 hours they were contacted by the Indian embassy, and help was arranged.

Thanks to those who responded, also to Vapasi who sent me a PM. After I sent a bunch of mails, I got overwhelming response from Indian community in Columbia, MO. There are now at least 5-6 people living in Columbia who are ready to pick up the family from the airport, take care of local paperwork, accommodation and help with arranging last rites of deceased. I am in touch with them via email.

My cousin sister and her brother are now enroute. If there is any further help required, I will post here.
