Matt Thompson and Crisho Kim recovery fund

Matt Thompson and Crisho Kim are two journeyman lineman for Southern California Edison and have been seriously injured on the job. The morning of February 26, 2023 the two lineman entered a vault responding to trouble. Minutes later after entering the vault an unexpected flash occurred. Adjacent energized cable not related to their work blew up. The two lineman received severe burns to the hands and face. After the lineman were safely helped out of the vault immediate medical attention was administered. These fast actions by the crew members helped with getting the care they needed right away. After arriving to the hospital we realized how severe the wounds became. Both lineman will have to undergo multiple surgeries and physical therapy. The process of recovery will take about 4-6 months. This fund will help with their recovery and family support.

Matt Thompson and Crisho Kim both have loving wives and two young children. This fund will help support their familys during this emotional and physical long recovery.

I ask that you support our local 47 brothers through this hard time and tragic events. All the support will be greatly appreciated. Even small donations will go along way. We all hope for a speedy recovery for these two men. We pray for their health and family’s wellbeing.
