Help Dan Kimball's Family & Fight Financial Abuse

My name is Dan Kimball, and I'm reaching out now in desperation as my family faces a crisis of financial abuse - a devastating form of domestic violence that has left us on the brink of losing everything. After 15 years of building a life abroad with my wife and three children, I was blindsided by a betrayal that threatens to strip away our family's entire financial future. I'm launching this appeal as our last chance to recover our assets and secure justice for my children.

Our Story

Fifteen years ago, my wife and I sold everything, including our Santa Barbara, California home, to embark on an educational journey abroad with our three young children. We settled in Bali, Indonesia, where we built a modest home and managed a small resort. Later, we moved to Malaysia to continue my work in educational technology development.

To secure our family's future, we established a Family Trust as a living will for our children. This trust, intended to protect us, became the focal point of an unimaginable betrayal.

The Betrayal

My wife secretly transferred all our family's assets into her name alone and fraudulently revoked our Family Trust. This act of financial abuse left me and our children without any financial support for our future. Faced with this theft and no cooperation to rectify it, I was forced to file a lawsuit to recover our family's financial stability. My own assets were frozen.

Legal Challenges

For four years, we've been embroiled in a legal battle in Malaysia. Despite our solid evidence and honest testimony, our case was abruptly dismissed by the court. The judge was misled to disregard the clear evidence that our assets were all jointly held as marital property. The complexity of international laws and jurisdictions has greatly complicated our pursuit of justice.

Urgent Need

We are confident that the 3 higher court judges will overturn our case on appeal, but we face a critical obstacle: the requirement to pay a $50,000 security deposit by Sept 15, just two weeks from now. With all family assets tied up in Malaysia, I have no means to pay this deposit, yet it is absolutely necessary to guarantee my children's right to a secure future. This financial barrier is effectively denying our access to justice.

Your Help Can Make a Difference

I humbly request your contributions to help us meet this urgent deadline. Upon winning our appeal, the court must return the $50,000 deposit to us. To "pay your generosity forward" and help other victims of domestic financial abuse, we will donate the funds returned and the additional funds raised, to organizations such as

California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, a recognized domestic violence coalition, representing over 1,000 advocates, organizations and allied groups throughout the state.

Thank you for your compassion and support in this critical time.

Sincerely,

Dan Kimball

Additional Words as Testimonials in Support of Dan Kimball

Sage Kimball: - Daughter

This is an urgent appeal for assistance in a situation that has left my family in turmoil. My father, Dan Kimball, has been the victim of years of emotional and financial abuse, and he desperately needs funds to cover court fees. As his concerned daughter, I can no longer bear to see him suffer in silence.

For years, my mother manipulated and exploited my father, orchestrating the unlawful transfer of all our family assets into her possession. As a result, my father now faces the horrifying prospect of losing everything he has worked tirelessly for throughout his life. After years of dedicated work, he has nothing for retirement or to cover his own bills.

I worry deeply about my father's health. Already fragile due to his advancing age, it has been further compromised by the immense stress and emotional turmoil caused by this ordeal.

We urgently need to raise $50,000 to fund a critical appeal that will challenge the fraudulent actions committed by my mother and help my father reclaim what is rightfully his. This appeal represents our last chance to rectify the wrongs done to him and potentially prevent further harm to others in similar situations.

Every donation, regardless of size, will provide crucial assistance for legal fees and have a profound impact on our fight for justice.

My father is an amazing man. Throughout my life, he has been ever-present, always kind, supportive, and engaged. He is soft-spoken and the gentlest man I have ever known. His joys are simple: bird watching, woodworking, and stargazing through his telescope. I just want to see him grow old peacefully in the mountains of Colorado, as he deserves.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering a donation. Your kindness and support mean everything to my family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Sage Kimball

Jerome Hartigan: - Colleague

I have collaborated with Dan Kimball for over five years and know him well as a person of exceptional kindness and integrity. His deep willingness to see the best in people is one of his most admirable traits.

However, this collaborative spirit has unfortunately left him vulnerable to abuse. I have witnessed firsthand the heartbreaking situation Dan and his family are now facing. It is a gross miscarriage of justice that has left them fighting for their financial survival. The pain and confusion this has caused cannot be overstated.

I know Dan. I know his story. And I can tell you with absolute certainty - he does not deserve this. No one does.

That's why I'm urging you to join me in supporting Dan and his family during this critical time. They desperately need our help to cover the legal costs of fighting this injustice and protecting their future. The urgency of their situation cannot be overstated - they need to raise $50,000 for a court appeal deposit to continue their legal battle in Malaysia.

We cannot let this family lose everything because of someone else's cruel actions. Please donate to his legal fund today. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in their fight for justice.

Your support could be the turning point in helping Dan and his family reclaim what is rightfully theirs and secure their future. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Scott Luxor: - Family

I'm writing to vouch for my cousin Dan Kimball and to ask for your immediate support for his GoFundMe campaign. Having known Dan my whole life, I can attest to his character as a devoted father, visionary, and someone deeply committed to fairness and justice. He is a person of unparalleled kindness and honesty.

Dan urgently needs our help to raise $50,000 for an appeal deposit to continue fighting for his family in the Malaysian courts. Without these funds, he risks losing everything and being unable to protect his children's future. As someone who's been through a difficult divorce myself, I know achieving a just resolution is never easy.

I'm intimately aware of the financial abuse Dan and his family have suffered. He's fighting not just for himself, but also for his children's future. It's important to note that any surplus funds raised will directly help other victims of domestic financial abuse through a reputable nonprofit. It's disheartening to witness how someone exploited Dan's trust, but I can unequivocally vouch for his authenticity.

What's happening to Dan is deeply unjust, and I feel it's my duty to help. Please join me in supporting his campaign. I trust him completely to steward these funds with transparency and integrity.

Here's how you can help:

1. Donate what you can to the GoFundMe campaign

2. Share Dan's story widely on your social media platforms

3. Reach out to friends and family who might be able to contribute

Your generosity and compassion can make a real difference in Dan's fight for justice. Thank you for considering this urgent appeal.

With sincere gratitude,

Eleanor & Tyler: - Friends

We first met Dan Kimball four years ago when he stayed at our home as an Airbnb guest. From the outset, his kindness and thoughtfulness were apparent. Upon learning about the repair and remodeling projects our house needed, Dan generously offered to apply his engineering and construction expertise to help improve our home.

Working alongside Dan on these projects, we were consistently impressed by his:

-Honesty and integrity

-Strong work ethic

-Innovative problem-solving skills

-Ability to devise practical solutions to complex technical issues

-Creativity and "out-of-the-box" thinking

-Collaborative spirit and inventive approach to challenges

Through our friendship, we've come to know Dan and his children well. They form a loving, close-knit family unit. However, we've also witnessed the profound impact of their forced return to the US without the stable home and financial foundation they had built abroad.

The actions of their mother have made it unnecessarily difficult for them to rebuild their lives after being uprooted from everything they knew. This situation has been particularly challenging as they've needed support to establish their future here in the US.

No family deserves to endure such injustice, especially one as compassionate and deserving as the Kimballs. The financial abuse they've experienced has caused immense pain and suffering, forcing them into a precarious situation they never should have faced.

We strongly urge you to support Dan and his family in their fight to recover the financial security unfairly taken from them. Your contribution will not only help right a wrong but also provide crucial support to a family working hard to rebuild their lives.

By supporting Dan, you're not just helping an individual - you're standing up against financial abuse and helping a loving family regain stability and hope for their future.
