People are often curious to understand the motivation behind our name. Sweet Pea is the nickname of Founder LaKesha Brooks' little one. And her journey isn't unlike the 10 million women in the US who have struggled with infertility or had challenges carrying to term.
When LaKesha unexpectedly learned that she would have to go through IVF to have a child of her own, she found herself overcome by physical, emotional, and financial stress.
Doctors required payments upfront. And while her insurance covered doctors' visits, it did not cover the most expensive items such as retrievals, transfers, embryo storage, and the required medications.
Very soon, LaKesha found herself worrying more about the IVF costs required to start her family than the fertility treatment itself.
