Sometimes in life we are fortunate to meet someone who dedicates everything to a higher calling. For me, this person was David Breaux. While he had few financial resources, David was, by every measure that counts, a rich man.
A Stanford graduate, David committed his life to compassion and to inspiring others to compassion. He lived in Davis, California, and spent his days listening to people and encouraging them as an “unpaid street therapist,” as he called himself.
The citizens of Davis had another name for him: They called him “the Compassion Guy.” David became such a fixture in Davis that he commissioned and worked with the community to construct a bench dedicated to his mission; that location became widely known as Compassion Corner.
