The Saving Isaac Fundraiser will be held tonight at The Breeze from 4-8 p.m. in downtown Herndon.
Isaac Crawley had just turned one when his insurance company dropped him for hitting his $2 million lifetime maximum. The now three-year-old boy was born with esophageal atresia, a rare condition in which his esophagus—split into two pieces—didn’t connect in the middle. In most cases doctors are able to connect the esophagus after birth, but Isaac has had complications and setbacks that have made the process longer: He has had 21 major surgeries to treat the issue. On Friday, The Breeze in downtown Herndon will be filled with friends and family who love Isaac and want to see him well. There is a fundraiser for Isaac from 4-8 p.m. The event will include food and drink specials as well as items being raffled off. Kim Crawley, Isaac’s mom, a …
