Help Marine Veteran Stabbed while Home

 

 

Please donate to help US Marine Veteran, Sergeant Tyler Ferrara.

 

Tyler Ferrara is recovering after he was stabbed in the face multiple times after attempting to save a woman who was menaced by an attacker in a Worcester parking lot.

Tyler recently retired from the Marine Corps after five years and a number of deployments. He had returned from service about a month ago and has just begun pursuing a master’s degree.

 

According to family and police reports the woman was getting beat up by a male party and Tyler approached to intervene. The male party threw a punch at Tyler, Tyler threw a punch back, but then two additional males jumped in.

 

Tyler was left having to defend himself from the three men. Eventually, it seemed the fight was over. But, it was not.

 

All of a sudden, the original male who was assaulting the female party came out of nowhere wielding a knife and proceeded to stab Tyler through his eye.

 

Worcester Police Officers responded and were led to where Tyler was suffering from serious wounds to his eye.

 

He was taken to Massachusetts Eye and Ear for treatment and family says he is lucky to be alive.

 

After a brief foot chase, WPD officers caught up with the suspect, Jason Rennie, 33, of Worcester, at the Kenmore Diner on Franklin Street.

 

Rennie is being held without bail on charges including armed assault to murder, mayhem, two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct, and disturbing the peace, according to the Worcester County District Attorney.

 

Tyler  has a 2-year-old son, a new job, and now finds himself facing a very serious health battle. His attempt to save the woman is an example of the selflessness his friends and family have come to know him for. 

Now, his family says, he is anticipating at least two more surgeries and may not regain vision in his left eye.

 

Tyler's family is asking for your help. They are completely unaware of how long Tyler is going to be out of work as a result of his injury. If you could please donate to help get Tyler back on his feet and for his family to be able to get the assistance and care associated with his long recovery and already mounting medical bills.

 

Thank you for your help.
