- There were two articles (at least) about the couple in the local Toronto
- newspaper as well by a staff reporter together with photographs so I
- strongly suspect that this is NOT urban folklore. The couple lives in
- Kingston, Ontario. The first article told about how the couple was in danger
- of losing their home due to non mortgage payments, the secod told how people
- had donated enough money to relieve this worry.
