Another courier present also intervened and was also injured.
The triple stabbing happened in Spital Street, Dartford, Kent as she collected a delivery on Saturday (31 Aug) evening.
Anna, 27, comes from Goiânia, near Brasília, Brazil and has lived in London for over two years.
All three victims were rushed to hospital but survived.
They are said to be in stable conditions.
A suspect, 29, – known to the trio – was arrested in Scotland on Monday (2 Sept) on suspicion of attempted murder.
Anna’s sister Danyella Angel Helrigle told the media in their native Brazil: “They are all out of life-threatening danger and are now in recovery.
“Anna was stabbed in the abdomen, which injured her stomach and intestines.
“Right now, she’s only able to consume liquids.
“Her boyfriend was stabbed in the abdomen, and I know his lung was punctured. He still has a drain in place.
“The other deliveryman was stabbed in the chest.”
Anna previously worked as a massage therapist.
But she began working as a takeaway courier to cover her living expenses.
Anna’s family is now fundraising so her mum can fly to London to be with her.
A Kent Police spokesperson said: “A suspect has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were injured in Dartford.
