Help Chef Craig's Family

After a year long struggle with Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer, my son Craig Petrella was told by the Doctors at UCLA he has to be omitted into hospice care.

Craig is a dedicated, loving husband, father, son, and friend. Craig is married to Paola, and has two young children (Thomas 17, and Sophia 15).

Before this stage 4 cancer hit and took over his body, Craig worked hard as one of the top Chefs in the country to support his family and wanted his wife and children to have the best of everything ...

With all of the emotional pain and stress that this news brings, it also brings financial burdens. We are trying to raise money for Paola and their children to help with any costs that will incur and to help wherever needed. As a community, we want to ease any stress on the family caused by outstanding costs of the funeral and what comes afterwards.

We are thankful for any support you may be able to provide. We also encourage everyone to keep their family in their thoughts and prayers.

More than all this, you need to remember that God holds you in the palm of his hand, and loves you with the deepest, most amazing love of all. There is nothing that can get in the way of that kind of love. No matter what happens, God is with you and is right there by your side every day. Never forget that, and always thank God in your heart.
