ASCO, a CASE Construction Equipment dealer based in Lubbock, Texas, recently teamed up with two disaster recovery nonprofits, Team Rubicon and SBP, to help rebuild a home in Houston ravaged by fire and flood. The nonprofits used a TR310 compact track loader and CX130D excavator, both donated by ASCO, to perform demolition work before the rebuild process could begin.

Unfortunate Events

Asha Ramraj and her husband bought the home in 2002, but it was nearly destroyed by a fire in 2015, with only the laundry room left behind. Her husband passed away not long after, and tragedy struck again in 2017 when Hurricane Harvey hit. SBP has timetable in place to “complete construction of the home in the coming months, according to CASE.

“CASE Construction and ASCO were eager to work with Team Rubicon to support SBP in helping get this home rebuild off to a good start in any way we could,” says Michel Marchand, vice president, North America, at CASE Construction Equipment. “The resiliency of Ms. Ramraj in the face of continued hardship is truly incredible, and ASCO was ready to help immediately.”
