https://gma.yahoo.com/secondhand-stores-heartwarming-note-attached-once-worn-wedding-201029586.htmlThis heartfelt act is earning money for the UK charity St. Gemma's Hospice

...."We have found the kind gentleman who donated the beautiful vintage wedding dress to St Gemmas Hospice this week," the shop wrote today on its Facebook page. "He is over the moon that we are giving somebody the opportunity to buy the gorgeous gown on eBay. He is a big fan of St Gemmas Hospice and is overwhelmed with the International attention that his late wifes dress is generating.
"He is so happy and proud that the Hospice will benefit from funds raised by the auction of the dress," the post continued. "He wishes to remain anonymous and we fully respect his decision, but he is watching the media frenzy with interest and thinks it is wonderful."
.......
Since the gown has received worldwide interest, Woodgate said, St. Gemma's decided to list it for auction on eBay.
The dress now has 23 offers with the highest bid at $941.09, and less than eight days left."
