Faulk emphasized the unique support from Northwest Arkansas, stating, “When hurt happens here, neighbors show up. ” He also mentioned the aunt's gratitude for the community's outpouring of support. Organizers are optimistic for a large turnout, indicating that every contribution will significantly aid the Brink family.
