Family Gets Check To Help Pay For Child's Surgery

BREWSTER, N.Y. (CBS 2) -- It was all smiles at the Sullivan home in Brewster Saturday, after a heartless thief made off with money meant for a little boy's surgery.

The family received a $7,000 check from the Vincent Crotty Memorial Foundation to replace money stolen last week at a fundraiser.

The money was raised for 9-year-old Aidan Sullivan. The young boy was born with a congenital disorder that left his face, skull and jaw under-developed.

He was scheduled for reconstructive surgery in March.
