Lineman Suffers Heart Attack Miles From Home
10 Sep
Summary
- A Georgia lineman had a heart attack while working out of state.
- The lineman is a single father without paid sick leave.
- Community support has raised over $12,000 for his recovery.
A lineman from Walker County, Georgia, named Tim Trundle, experienced a heart attack while on assignment in Pennsylvania. He was working to restore power following severe storms that had impacted the region.
Trundle is presently hospitalized in Pennsylvania and is expected to remain there until he is well enough to travel back to his home state of Georgia. The situation is particularly difficult as Trundle is a single father who does not receive paid sick leave or vacation time from his employer.
This means that during his hospitalization, Trundle is not earning an income, creating significant financial pressure. Friends have established an online fundraiser to help him manage daily expenses and care for his son. The community's response has been substantial, with over $12,000 raised to provide support during his recovery.
