The Sweet Pea Foundation was established in 2003 by Pete and Suzanne Letherman in memory of their daughter Grace Elizabeth. The focus of the organization is to help sick children who are receiving medical care with an emphasis on “non-medical healing” to both the child and the family.
The Foundation’s logo contains the tagline: “From a little Grace, grows a world of love.” Pete and Suzanne hope Grace’s name and her memory live on and continue to touch the lives of children who need it most.

In early November, we celebrated Grace’s 20th birthday. It is hard to believe that twenty years have passed. We remember the morning when Grace was born as if it were yesterday. She was immediately rushed to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis and we soon realized that our journey with her was going to be very different. As we reflect on the years that have gone by, we can’t help but think of the many people who have touched our lives. We remember the dozens of nurses and doctors that cared for her. We still cherish the bonds we created with families that were experiencing similar difficulties, and the family and friends that consoled us as we struggled with the loss of our sweet girl.
Although it has been twenty years since we last held Grace, she has continued to guide us through our work with the Sweet Pea Foundation. Her inspiration has allowed us to touch the lives of countless children and their families. We thank you for your continued generosity and support which has allowed us to keep her spirit alive for all these years.
We also want to thank the many people who contribute their time to help the Foundation from tagging toys, packing Hugs, stuffing envelopes or holding fundraisers in support of the Foundation’s mission. From the bottom of our hearts, we sincerely appreciate your assistance.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Pete & Suzanne Letherman
