CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — A local charity on Friday raised money for the family of a Chesterfield girl battling a rare disease.
Businesses have stepped up to help the family of Chloe Carraway with medical costs after she spent more than 250 nights in hospital over the past few years.
After years of searching for answers, this 12-year-old boy was diagnosed with central collecting lymphatic anomaly with a PIK3CA gene mutation.
Chloe and her parents, Kayson, Emily and Caraway, travel between Norfolk and Philadelphia for treatments including stomach surgery, permanent nerve blocks and various treatments.

“A Night in White,” hosted by Playfactory’s Elisa Hatfield, featured a silent auction, food, drinks and music.
The Carraways said they were touched by the people who came together for their daughter.
“It’s amazing to see everyone in the same room who loves and supports us,” Emily Callaway said. “When I came in, I just wanted to run up and hug everyone here individually and thank them for coming. Because each and every one of them gave their support and prayers and I want to thank them for coming here tonight and for me to show them that they are still here. It means a lot just to show that you’re in this together with us.”
