Franklin was injured when he came into contact with a live electrical line while performing routine maintenance on January 6. He was taken to Lourdes Hospital before being flown to Nashville's Vanderbilt University Hospital.
Two fundraising vehicles have been established by one of Josh’s coworkers in close coordination with his family.
The primary method is the Joshua Franklin Beneficiary Account established at Regions Bank. Donations to this fund may be made at any Regions Bank location.
The secondary method is the Injured Lineman Josh Franklin page on the Go Fund Me internet site - https://www.gofundme.com/injured-lineman-josh-franklin.
Funds raised by these efforts will supplement any monies that Franklin may receive from Jackson Purchase Energy’s workers compensation insurance carrier.
“The employees of Jackson Purchase Energy are a family,” says Dennis Cannon, President and CEO. “We are asking that everyone reach out and support our family member and his family through this terribly difficult time.”
Franklin, his wife and two young children and reside in Paducah. His wife, Christa, and other family members have remained in Nashville to oversee his care.
