You, Me and Poverty. Amazing Christmas giving story…. The Olympic Kidnapping Act →. December 16, 2009. Faron Hall, a homeless man living on the streets in Winnipeg for 7 years, heard a teenage boy scream for help from the icy, flowing waters of the Red River. I’m cold, help me. Somebody help me. The teen was Joseph Mousseau who had fallen into the river while attempting to jump between platforms on a Winnipeg bridge. As long as the kid is safe, that’s my reward, said Faron. Based on a CBC News Story.
