As an eight-year cancer survivor, Deb also launched the not-for-profit Booby Trap Foundation, where she supports women undergoing mastectomies with specialized shower scarves and heart-shaped pillows. She also provides comfortable camisoles that have inside pockets to hold the drains that are attached to your body after surgery.
“Starting the nonprofit was an answer to prayer. God paved the way and I picked up the reigns and just ran with it,” says Deb. “The scripture she lived by was Proverbs 31:25-26 “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.”
