Local veteran still needs assistance

Carllena Farman, who served in the United States Army from 1981-89 — honorably discharged as a Specialist E4 — and who underwent triple-bypass surgery earlier this year, is still in need of financial assistance.

Fellow veteran Jeff Dierks noted a fundraiser for Farman was held in August. Proceeds from that event have helped, but they are dwindling.

Farman, who has lived in Thermopolis since 1991, has had some setbacks health-wise and has not yet been able to return to work. She is only about a one-third of her cardiac rehab, and it could be the end of the year before she’s done. Dierks noted he has gone to various organizations, but they have not been able to help, so he is continuing to ask for donations and other assistance for Farman.

While people have helped, and that is appreciated, Dierks pointed out efforts to help Farman have been going since June and have not generated much. Those who would like to help can contact Farman via call or text at 307-254-3616 or 921-4959.
