About
Supporting families through pregnancy and infant loss with love, dignity, and care.
Too Precious for this World was born out of love, loss, and the deep understanding that no family should have to navigate pregnancy or infant loss alone.
What began as a personal journey has grown into a mission to support families during one of the most difficult experiences of their lives. We understand the weight of this loss, and we are committed to showing up with compassion, care, and intention.

Meet our Founder

Hello, my name is La’Kendra Johnson. I am a wife, a mother, and the founder of
Too Precious for This World.
I have experienced the heartbreak of a stillbirth and five miscarriages—losses that deeply changed me. During that time, I felt broken and overwhelmed, trying to make sense of something I didn’t fully understand. After losing my daughter, I found myself walking through pregnancy with fear, unsure of what could happen next.
I felt alone. No one around me talked about pregnancy or infant loss, and I began to believe I was the only one experiencing it—even questioning if this was somehow my fault. I didn’t know that support existed. I wasn’t aware of organizations, resources, or programs that could help families through this kind of loss. Even in moments where I needed clarity and care, I found myself having to advocate for my own experience—knowing something was wrong, yet not always being heard.
Everything shifted when I learned that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss. I realized it wasn’t that this wasn’t happening—people simply didn’t feel safe enough to talk about it. I remembered the comments, “At least you didn’t know the baby,” or “You’re young, you can have more,” and how deeply those words hurt. I also began to understand that Black women experience pregnancy and infant loss at disproportionately higher rates.
I knew something had to change.
Too Precious for This World was created because I wanted to be what I needed. I needed someone who understood this kind of loss. I needed someone to hold my hand and guide me through the questions no one prepares you for—what happens next, how to make decisions, and how to begin navigating life after loss.
Today, Too Precious is my way of turning grief into honoring. It is a reminder to every parent: I see you, and you are not alone on this journey.
My hope is that every family who finds us feels seen, heard, and supported.
— La’Kendra Johnson, Founder
