Tonight on Evening. I'm Jim Devere in Tacoma. How a screaming deal on a wedding dress could help save a life. Well today, right here in Tacoma, this shop just opened. It's offering some women amazing deals and in the process, offering other women a new shot at life. Christine Gilghee has seen it all. I have a niece that at the age of 14 ran away and she was picked up by a pimp. As a jail chaplain and street minister, she's worked with many victims of h So every week I meet with anywhere from 12 to 20 women and I hear their stories. And as the director of Adorned in Grace Tacoma, she's found a beautiful way to help them even more. What can I do? I have to be able to do something. The non-profit shop takes donations of new and gently used wedding gowns and other formal wear. We have over 3,000 dresses. They sell them at a deep discount, then use the money to support victims and help stop the abuse. We've gotten amazing donations from people with amazing stories. Everyone is just so unique. This designer dress originally valued at $15,000, was donated by the grieving husband and 6-year-old son of a young mother. So my heart breaks, I grieve also. But what a beautiful way that something can be turned into something really beautiful that will bless another bride. A legacy sealed and lives saved through love, one dress at a time. We don't see these dresses as just a commodity. They represent a soul. Okay, doing great work right here in Tacoma.
