Corin Nava never imagined watching her baby fight for his life. Her son, Gabriel was diagnosed after birth with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH.) After 55 days in the NICU, Gabriel passed away from complications due to his condition.
Kate Crawford's daughter, Shannon died from a combination of CDH and HLHS.
Stephanie Olivarez also had a child diagnosed with CDH. Stephanie's daughter, Shelby, still suffers from complications due to her defect and stays in the Intensive Care Units.
These three woman came together for comfort and support. They began filling gift bags with items that they wished they had or needed during their stay in the hospital. The three gave a name to their little project, naming it Project Sweet Peas.
All children are such sweet peas during their stays, and often resemble little peas in a pod in their beds. Project Sweet Peas slowly grew to a nationwide network of parents who started their own projects to honor and memorialize their own Sweet Peas.
