Case Study: The Murray Family at Christmas
Before ASCERT I was scared for my family’s future. My son battled addiction, I lost my career due to my long term illness meaning our finances were strained and I worried our family wouldn’t have a Christmas. ASCERT offered us hope.

I can’t believe the generosity of strangers and what they did for my family by giving us the gift of Christmas”
