She and other family members arrived later that day.
Brinkman needed transfusions of O-negative blood, which was in short supply in the region.
Public Facebook posts brought out donors, and two family members have matching blood types.
Murray’s statement says that between them, they supplied enough blood that Brinkman should be stabilized enough to be transported.
