Majd Kamalmaz is a 61 year old American husband, father, therapist, and humanitarian that was unlawfully detained by the Syrian government and has been held there since February 15, 2017. His family has not heard from him since his unlawful detainment and are extremely worried about his poor health conditions. Majd is a chronic diabetic and has suffered from two strokes in the past. They are working hard along with the U.S. government to bring Majd safely home.
Almost 3 years ago my colleague Majd Kamalmaz seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth just weeks before I was to travel to Lebanon to begin work on a new humanitarian project we developed. The Al Wakar program was designed to help elderly refugees and Lebanese elders in Lebanon suffering with trauma find psycho-emotional relief using HeartMath® breathing techniques. I knew something was wrong. In the short time I had known Majd I knew him to be a considerate man who would never just vanish without communicating. I searched the internet to find someone who could tell me what happened and that is when I came across his daughter's page on social media. I reached out and she told me something I will never forget, "Our father is missing."
Donating financial resources is a great way to help. I have created this LaunchGood account to support the family of Majd Kamalmaz with the financial expenses incurred in their lobbying efforts to obtain his release after nearly three years of unlawful detention in Syria. The efforts have places a huge burden on their family and this is an easy way we can support them and lift them up as a community.
Funds raised through LaunchGood for Majd Kamalmaz will go directly to the family and be used by them for travel expenses to Washington DC. His family will be able to meet with US Gov. Officials, attend necessary events and lobby on behalf of their father in order to bring him home. Funds will also subsidize the loss of Majd’s sole supporting income over the past three years to cover necessary expenses.
