Boing Boing reader CJC says: "Just when you thought the world was full of selfish bastards… A young boy in Kingston, Ontario wanted to have a headstone on his father's grave, but the family couldn't afford it, so he decided to hold a yard sale to sell his toys. After a news report, Facebook and Twitter started buzzing and now the headstone is taken care of and an education fund set up for the boy. Even singer Tom Cochrane is sending memorabilia for the garage sale. This is a sad story with its own unicorn chaser." (canoe.ca via BB Submitterator)
