The public can now join in supporting Lancaster, Pennsylvania, caterer and personal chef Pierre DeRagon. DeRagon is a liver transplant recipient, and a GoFundMe campaign is now allowing anyone to provide funding to help this local legend get back into the world and doing what he loved.
DeRagon says food inspired him while he was sick. He delved into cookbooks and shows, including recipes from iconic chefs such as Julia Child, and he became completely absorbed by their creativity and techniques. Food empowered and motivated him through one of the most difficult challenges of his life. DeRagon received the blessing of a liver transplant, but the medical costs for the transplant have been a major burden. DeRagon has attempted to secure funding through other means, including through grants, but was turned away by each attempt.
He wants nothing more than to continue to provide culinary delights for his clients. There’s nothing he loves more than creating custom menus for his clients to help make their event an amazing experience. In order to continue this journey, DeRagon is in need of funding.
A GoFundMe campaign has launched to help raise awareness and financial support for DeRagon’s journey. “As you can imagine, the costs associated with a liver transplant are astronomically high. My family are already facing significant financial strain due to medical bills and the inability to work during this challenging time,” said DeRagon.
DeRagon says that he is grateful for each and every donation received, no matter how small. DeRagon is excited to get back on his feet and continue to provide a service that he loves to his surrounding community. In the video posted on his GoFundMe campaign page, DeRagon discusses more of how donations will help him accomplish this goal.
