When a young technician's family faced the unthinkable as their child experienced a life-threatening medical emergency, Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation provided emergency financial assistance to stop the flow of mounting hospital bills and anxiety over missed work that threatened to overwhelm them.

The gift? Time to focus on what mattered most: being together as a family and supporting their child.

"Your support gave us the gift of time. Instead of worrying about how we'd pay our bills, we were able to focus on making memories with our son and being together as a family."

Technicians spend their careers taking care of others. Sometimes they need someone to help take care of them. Through Support Beyond Certification, ASE and AACF are proud to remind the industry that when life becomes overwhelming, the aftermarket takes care of its own.
