A Rare Dryer
Jack isn’t just a Veteran—he’s a dear friend and originally from Canada. His home is filled with unique Canadian touches, but one thing I never expected to learn was that clothes dryers in Canada are different. Unlike the front-loading dryers we’re used to in the U.S., many Canadian dryers load from the top—something I had never seen before!
Jack had one of these rare top-loading dryers, but when it broke, there was no way to repair it or find replacement parts. He casually asked me to keep an eye out for one at Newby-ginnings, but I knew that wasn’t going to happen. In all my years, I had never seen one in the U.S., let alone donated to our organization.
And then—sure enough, one showed up.
Right when Jack needed it, an actual top-loading Canadian dryer arrived at Newby-ginnings. I couldn’t believe it. Another perfect example of the Newby-verse stepping in—proving once again that sometimes, the impossible isn’t so impossible after all.
