David H. Breaux
1972-2023

A special project in honor of David H. Breaux, known for his years of dedication to sitting on the corner of 3rd and C in Davis, CA, asking passerby their definition of compassion.

David was a friend to the community of Davis, and a Stanford graduate. During my time at UC Davis, I spent many hours on this bench with David, exchanging worldviews and hearing his hope for the world.

When you order a compassion poem, with Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s quote, typed up by me personally on my 1940’s typewriter, you will be giving towards compassion.

All proceeds will be donated to the Stanford's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research & Education.

You can also support David’s personal compassion project by checking out his book, “COMPASSION Davis, CA: A Compilation of Concepts on Compassion.”
