After Dawn Compton went through a series of surgeries to fight breast cancer, she realized other women may need support to help them through similar recovery journeys.

These acts flourished into Compton's non-profit, The Blessing Box Project, which now has a team of volunteers and has donated nearly 6,000 boxes with supplies for women.
