Two potential long-lost twin sisters, who first got in touch thanks to a YouTube video, have managed to raise more than $35k online to finally meet up.
Anais Bordier, 25, a French fashion student living in London, initially saw Los Angeles-based Samantha Futerman, also 25, in a short film clip last December.
Her resemblance to her YouTube lookalike was striking.
Anais, who grew up as the only child of French parents, soon made some more startling discoveries.
Both women were adopted soon after they were born on the same day - November 19, 1987 - and in the same town in South Korea.
Anais, finally decided to get in touch with her American doppelganger via Facebook.
"About 2 months ago, my friend was watching one of your videos with Kevjumba on YouTube," she wrote.
"And he saw you and thought that we looked similar ... like ... VERY REALLY SIMILAR".
The twins "grew up" thousands of miles apart. Pic: Kickstarter.com Samantha grew up in New Jersey and now lives and works as an actress in California.
"At first glance, I only saw my face staring back from her profile picture," she said.
"After just a few clicks and a personal message from Anais … I was positive that this girl was in fact my biological twin sister."
However, both acknowledge the coincidences might be just that.
So they turned to crowdsourcing fundraising website Kickstarter.com to fund getting together in person.
They also plan to take DNA tests to prove their connection once and for all.
The project has attracted donations from over 800 people and good wishes from many more.
But not everyone is convinced, with some expressing outright scepticism and others calling the whole thing a fake.
While there may not be a fairytale ending to the story, the two "possible sisters" intend to use some of the money to film a documentary about their journey either way.
