A therapist, a humanitarian, a husband, a father, a grandfather, an empath. These descriptions only skim the surface of who Majd Kamalmaz is. On Valentines Day of 2017, this 61-year-old American citizen went to offer condolences to his elderly family after his father in laws death in Syria. Less than twenty-four hours after his arrival in Damascus, his family in the United States received word that he was missing.
Majd was detained at a check point in Damascus and hasn’t been heard from since. His family, in shock, contacted the US government and exhausted all means to try to bring him home. They have had no success in their efforts. They are now reaching out to the public to urge President Trump to intervene and bring him home to his wife, kids and grandchildren.
” I met Majd Kamalmaz at HeartMath. He has a kind heart with compassion for those who are suffering. His work with children of war is selfless. He touches hearts to ease suffering. He needs to continue his work.”
