Keith Fahrney "Good Samaritan" Fund

Hi! My name is Rebecca and I am the wife of Keith Fahrney, the Good Samartian who saved one woman's life and prevented many additional deaths on Wednesday, March 27, 2024. Keith was driving home from class that afternoon when he saw a woman being attacked less than 2 blocks from our house. He stopped to help and did not realize this woman was being actively stabbed at the time in a spree that left the city of Rockford speechless. He jumped in to help without any regard for his own life and distracted this man from further hurting the woman. When the man attempted to steal his Jeep while he was tending to the woman, he courageously opened the door and threw the man out of the car. This was just enough to distract the man. Keith did not know at the time was that he had been stabbed in the process of protecting his property. He has sustained injuries to his head and jawline resulting in staples and stitches, and will be out of work for at least a week. His heroic efforts allowed the police to catch the suspect and saved the woman's life at the same time. We recognize that the community wants to give back, so we have set up this page to allow those who want to show their gratitude the opportunity to do so. Any funds raised will help support our family while Keith is out of work. Keith does not believe he is a hero, but the community, the woman's family and our family does!
