Hello,
This is the first time in my life I’ve ever done anything like this. I’ve never had a problem making money, and I’ve always been successful in my life, but somehow at the age of 57 I find myself living with a friend, while my wife and two youngest kids are living with my mother-in-law. I thought 2022 was my worst year ever, but somehow I managed to top that one.
Before I go much further, you can find my LinkedIn profile at Anthony T. Catania from Oklahoma City. Here’s the link to Linked In linkedin.com/in/anthony-t-catania-735a0a2a, and if I’m fortunate to find some financial assistance I would ask for your contact information so that I’m able to pay you back when I’m able.
In any event, about six months ago I attempted to move my family to Texas to get out of Oklahoma and to just start fresh. We sold our house, loaded everything up in a UHaul and headed South where I was going to do some contract work and my wife was going to get a job doing in home health care, she had several job offers as she’s a phlebotomist. I drove the U-haul, she followed in her car. We were going to use the money from the house to a used car for me.
3 months later we ended up having to move back because I was stupid enough to allow myself to get scammed out of the 20 grand that we had from selling the house in a bitcoin scam. When we got back to Oklahoma we rented an apartment, and my wife got a job taking care of the nuns at Saint Ann’s Cathedral where she works now, and I’ve been looking for a job since then. Fortunately I start a new job Monday at a furniture store selling furniture, but since we got backed we managed to get evicted from the apartments that we lived in, which explains why I live with a friend and they live with my wife’s mom. When I didn’t think I could top my worst year in 2022, getting evicted made that possible when the Sherriff showed up at the front door, perhaps the most embarrassing day of my life as my youngest son was with me.
Please understand this is not an attempt to get anyone to feel sorry for me, I take full responsibility for everything. I remember many years ago when I took my 5 kids with me to one of those fun parks where you play games to get tickets to turn in for candy and worthless toys at the end.
When we were about to go turn in all the tickets, I gathered them all together and told them to find a child they didn’t know less fortunate then them, and to give them all of their tickets. At the time, they through a fit and couldn’t believe what I was asking of them, they thought it was the end of the world. (All of the girls shown below from my 1st marriage where there, the youngest is from my second wife). But to this day, they tell me that one event was the most important lesson I taught them.
I’ve always had a dream to make enough money where I can find people who are in need of a financial miracle, and show up with a envelope full of cash. I’ve always enjoyed giving, and when I look back at the years I was most successful, it was the years that I gave the most, so truthfully I’m having a hard time with all this….hoping it’s some great big test God is having me go through, because if someone told me three years ago I would be homeless and penniless I would have laughed in their face.
I don’t even know how much money to ask for…..my goal is to get my family back together. The apartment complex won’t give us back all our belongings until we pay them back, which is right at 4K, so my best guess to pay what we owe the apartment and pay deposits and whatnot for a new place would be 10K.
I’ve included a pic below of 5 of my 7 kiddos, fortunately they are mostly grown and out of the house, and only the two youngest from my 2nd wife are having to deal with this. But I have 7 kiddos and an amazing 2nd wife that we’re going on 18 years, who took on my 5 kids from my 1st marriage, and me, so for that I’m grateful….little surprised she hasn’t left me to be honest.
If you have any questions, or would like to talk I would be glad to speak over the phone. I was told to include my pay pal link which is below, and please I would insist on anyone’s contact info so that I can pay this back when I’m able.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
A. Todd Catania
