mate to mate at 8 | Ash Cremer-McMahon

In this episode of mate to mate at 8, Turts catches up with Ash Cremer-McMahon.

Ash has definitely faced far too many challenges in his relatively short life.

From being bullied from grade 2, and all the way through his school to year 11; from being punched, kicked, bashed to verbal abuse and much more. This guy has endured a lot.

Ash has had 9 jobs in the past 2 years since he left school at the end of 2019.

"I have been in and out of hospitals and had more interactions with the police in my whole life more then anyone ever should. Now, I’ve got my head pretty straight, and really want to tell you my story."

11 weeks before this chat, Ash tried to take his own life. And this was not the first time. His first attempt was when he was 8 or 9 years old.

Since connecting with with 100Words, he has turned his life around. You can watch Ash's open, honest and raw chat with Turts here.
