From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.<\/p>\n
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.<\/p>\n
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.<\/p>\n

She said that when she spoke to the manager of the warehouse, he told her that because her dress was donated to a distribution center, it could be at any one of the thrift stores in Canada that the Salvation Army operates. <\/p>\n
Delgado noted that the gown has a deep sentimental value, since it was a gift from her mother, who passed away due to brain cancer before the wedding, CityNews <\/em>reported. <\/p>\n\n

Olivia Delgado is offering a $300 reward to anyone who bought the dress at the thrift store in Canada (CityNews)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\u201cThis was one of the last things we did together before she got too sick to go out,\u201d she said about shopping with her mother. \u201cWe picked out the dress together, and she bought it for me. So it\u2019s like a piece of her is in that dress. And it\u2019s really important to me that I get it back.\u201d <\/p>\n
Delgado also declared her search for the dress on social media, writing in a Facebook post that she\u2019s offering a $300 reward to anyone who purchased it from a thrift store. <\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I wasn’t making this post but I am looking for my wedding dress,\u201d she wrote, while sharing wedding photos of herself in the white gown. \u201cI moved recently, and in the midst of clearing out closets, someone accidentally donated my dress to the Salvation Army in Surrey. It would’ve been donated sometime mid-February. The bottom tulle is a bit torn up and dirty from taking photos in the rain, and I’m pretty sure there is a food stain or two, so it should be pretty identifiable. It would have been in a white David’s Bridal bag. It’s a size 10 Melissa Sweet dress.\u201d<\/p>\n
Delgado explained the sentimental value and offered the reward before pleading, \u201cI can help you source down the exact dress brand new, whatever you want. I’m really hoping you’d understand how important it is to me that I get this dress back.\u201d <\/p>\n
She told CityNews<\/em> that since making the Facebook post, other people in British Columbia have been helping her search for the dress. <\/p>\n\u201cThat\u2019s been a huge help,\u201d she added. \u201cWe\u2019re slowly checking boxes off our list, and I\u2019m hoping that it hasn\u2019t been sold yet.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
