Dad left speechless after finding touching note inside washing machine he bought

A dad who bought a second-hand washing machine on Facebook has gone viral after sharing details of what he found inside.

Chris Blaze was looking for a washing machine and tumble dryer, when he found one on Facebook Marketplace that caught his eye.

He got in touch with the seller, asking them if it would be possible to bring the price of the appliances down from 500 to 400 USD, as reported by Birmingham Live.

The seller agreed to lower the price, but that was not the end of his generosity - and nothing could prepare Chris for what he found inside the unit when he took it home.

Sharing details of his experience, the new dad wrote on the social media platform: "I just went to buy a Samsung washer and dryer from a guy and he was asking $500."

Alongside the post, he shared a photo of the appliances.

He added: "I told him I just had a kid and if he could take $400 I’d be really grateful.

"I got home hooked everything up and everything worked great.

"I opened up the dryer to check the lint filter and I was shocked my $400 was sitting in there.

"I got a message from him saying “check the dryer, a gift for the new baby.”

"Man words can not describe how grateful I am right now. I feel so blessed right now I felt I had to share, big shout out to the man David! Thank you so much!"

Chris said he was overwhelmed by the kind gesture of being given his $400 back from the seller and being given the appliances for free.

The post has subsequently gone viral online, being shared widely across social media and also making headlines in news outlets.
